Good value for money spent .

It is very good . At first , it may recall of ADP Assoluta because of the bitter orange - bergamot combo . It also has the hedione touch present in many fresh perfumes . It feels of quality and very invigorating in those moments .

After about half an hour , I guess the ambrette begins to emerge giving it a somewhat cloudy - musky point to end up progressively drying towards a nice , sweet , balsamic amber ; still with remnants of the citrus of course .

I'm smelling it for many hours but I do not think that the projection of the perfume is big at all .

Sweet & Sour Bergamot... the best there is?

Well, I haven't tried a fragrance that focused unashamedly on the Bergamot note before. Bergamot is such a workhorse note which helps so many fragrances (for example every chypre has to have bergamot). In fact, some of the most classic fragrances out there would not exist without Bergmot, so it is a seminal note in perfumery.

In this fantastic example from Atelier Cologne, the note is given it's full space to breathe, it is at the centre of the party... the star attraction. I personally find this one very tart. Tart and sour in fact. It is sour and tangy and you can almost taste it, the high quality bergamot oil used here. It is bold and green and oily and sour, with hints of both bitterness and sweetness around the edges. Really good quality. In terms of performance I have to say it's not as strong as I thought it would be, but it does last a while.

Ultimately, I think that because of it's sheer simplicity, it's not something that attracts me. What I mean to say by that is, I'm not a fan of a purely bergamot note. I like bergamot in all my favourite fragrances, but this is like pure, high quality, zesty bergamot oil. It's quality is undeniable, but purely for my own tastes, I go for other citrus fragrances. If you are a fan of green, zesty citrus, then by all means do try this one out, as it is highly recommended. For myself, I own other fragrances from this house which I prefer, and I will continue to try more fragrances from this house as well.

Sunny and juicy lemon-flower bergamot

AugustA says: "Now that it's getting warmer again: definitely citrus! So today I take the sample of Bergamote Soleil from Atelier Cologne.

When sprayed on, an Ahhh - as is appropriate for citrus head notes. Then the fragrance soon becomes very juicy, juiciest of all: lemon. Like those big yellow simply deliciously sour lemon candies, which make your mouth water so much that it just won't stop. Kiss. It goes on for at least half an hour. And just when it gets too much, because the candy is slowly sucking away - after all, it's a cologne, not candy - the scent becomes noticeably drier. It slowly changes into the slightly greenish-dry, which is so typical for bergamot, quite different from all other citrus fruits. This is the tone, the fragrance, which is why I always find bergamot so invigorating, so interesting and also a bit elegant. It now becomes delicate and slightly floral (lavender, jasmine?), a touch of freshly washed soap (but the good soap...). At the same time it is still wonderfully refreshing.

This will last for quite a while, depending on the temperature, at today's early summer temperatures around 6-7 hours. So with me no fleeting scent.

In the base it sits down, is a little more grounded, but not very. Actually, you hardly notice it, but I suppose the oak moss hardly noticeably enhances the indicated austere elegance. Just a little. It is and remains an uncomplicated fragrance and - it stays sunny all the time. That's it, no more and no less.
I would want to wear it again at any time, just for the first aha effect and the change to the fine bergamot-like described above.

A pleasant surprise.

It is a citrus scent that as its name indicates its base is bergamot, has a touch between bitter and sweet, is very pleasant to carry with temperatures of more than 26 degrees.

When it begins to settle, lavender is perceived, a cardamom that does not overwhelm; the jasmine makes it sweeten something until you begin to see the evolution of moss, vetiver and amber, which gives you some longevity without forgetting that it is a citrus.

This house I do not know how it will evolve with its sale, my perfumes are previous to that date, you never take a surprise but they are always very pleasant perfumes to wear.
