Does this fragrance lean more masculine or feminine?+−
While marketed as unisex, the community consensus leans feminine because of the prominent gardenia, magnolia, and ylang-ylang. However, the peppery top notes and woody sandalwood base allow it to be worn by men who enjoy floral-leaning scents.
How does it perform in terms of longevity?+−
It is known for having excellent longevity, with many users reporting it stays on the skin for 12 to 14 hours. The projection is moderate, making it noticeable without being overwhelming in professional settings.
What is the best time of year to wear this?+−
It is most popular during the spring and summer due to its citrus and floral profile. However, some users find the amber and sandalwood base heavy enough to transition well into the fall.
Is this a good choice for a blind buy?+−
No. Because of the polarizing nature of the floral notes and the discrepancy between the name "Bergamot" and the actual "floral-heavy" scent, it is highly recommended to sample this on your skin first.
