Caviar Bergamot

I loved this collection, I didn't find it banal or overdone at all! Caviar Bergamot is light in texture, musky and zesty and it has a lemon that is finally truly neutral, not too bitter or sour or too sweet, or masculine or harsh, just simply balanced and natural smelling. On me it opens with the usual light and louminous bergamot, just a pinch of grapefruit, treated in a unisex way, giving a refined edge to the scent, and a strong lemon! The effect is truly clean and refreshing. The lemon in this one resambles more that of Carthusia Mediterraneo then, let's say, Zara x Jo Malone Amalfi Sunray, where it is more bitter, and humid and floral. In the middle the ginger makes the lemon much more light and etherial in texture and it is zingy and zesty, nor a spicy or earthy ginger, but there is a good dose of it. Jasmine is light, green and only lightly floral, this works perfectly with the remaining lemon and citrusy notes, it has a bit if a zen and tea quality about it. All the notes blend beautifully. The base is all musk, and the kind of musk I like the most! Fine, subtle, clean and enveloping, and it smells lightly powdery creating a sort of lemony powdery scent that I am enjoying a lot lately. I was sure there was some other note in the base, maybe something "molecular", because for being just musk the base is quite strong. It smells subtle but creates a huge effect, which I guess is what matters. This one is truly unisex, maybe someone could see it as masculine but, to me, at best it smells "boyish", so a mix of clean boyfriend just out of the shower drinking a lemon soda slash clean sheets out on the sun, their smell blending in to one for your pleasure in a base of sexy but conforting musk. Probably it is a fragrance that may be considered banal, the classic overdone, citrusy freshy fragrance but to me it smells really good! There is nothing truly marine as many were anticipating, I would not know why call it Caviar Bergamot but there is that sort of marine breezy effect about it, and it smells like many clean people do after spraying citrusy fragrance while walking on the seafront, there must be something in the base that lightly hints at this sea breezy effect. It remainds me a bit of Dolce&Gabbana Light Blue original edt for women, but more the effect of the base then the lemon. Unfortunatelly it appears to be discontinued, but you never know with Zara, I usually sign up on their email alerts for singular products and from time to time they do return for a few days. Performance was just ok, lasting for about five hours and projecting moderately for the first two, the musk base leaving some trail. Which I guess is not terrible considering it is a Zara and a freshy citrusy fragrance. Bottle with light blue liquid and outer packaging was summery and cute.

After testing +500 fragrances on skin in my life, this is the first one I've ever purchased right after testing. This is exactly my perfect dream pure citrus cologne. There's nothing here to distract from the juicy citrus blend, which is done exactly how I personally like citruses! The opening is mostly bergamot, which you'll recognize if you've smelled the essential oil. After 10 minutes the lemon and grapefruit start to pick up as the bergamot fades. They stick around for 1-2 hours along with ginger, as lemon and grapefruit can be made with aromachemicals that last better than citrus essential oils. After 2 hours you mostly just smell Iso-E Super, which is what's making this last a little longer than the citruses alone. It gives a musky woody smell and can be smelled in the air. Bergamotto di Calabria is definitely the closest dupe and likely inspiration for this. But I prefer this one, as AdP's fragrance is more floral with more lemon. This one is a little more woody and aromatic. There's also more Iso-E Super and thus slightly better performance here. Another fragrance I'm reminded of is Cologne Cedrat by Matiere Premiere. That one has a strong aromatic tea-like mid note that's used to extend the citrus. Here that's also present, just less intensely, helping to slightly extend the citrus. I'm looking forward to burning through my 100 ml by liberally spraying whenever I want a fresh perfect burst of citrus! The price is great.

Beautiful, fresh summer fragrance! 😍 I absolutely love it. Citrusy notes are dominant with just a little touch of sweetness coming through from the back. Just perfect perfume for hot summer days. What surprised me the most is longevity which is phenomenal for citrus based fragrances, lasting for hours on my skin,days on my clothes. Won't say it is dupe for any of the fragrances I'm about to list but if you like D&G Light Blue, Versace Versense, Moschino Cheap & Chic I Love Love ... You will definitely love love this one too. Recommending ❤️

A really good citrusy scent in the style of Zara and Jo Malone. Bright and refreshing, with a clean, crisp character that instantly evokes summer. Notes reminiscent of Madrid, Vetiver Pamplemousse, and Amalfi Sunray blend beautifully, while Caviar stands out as the top favorite — truly addictive and impossible to stop smelling. Fresh, airy, and uplifting, this is an effortless summer fragrance that feels elegant, and easy to wear.

Lovely and fresh, well blended, smells fresh out of the shower. I love wearing it to the gym and to the beach during summertime. Definately unisex but i would only see a younger man, even a teenager, wearing this.
