Bergamot

Bergamot has delightful, citrusy top notes that are perfect for spring and summer. Backing up the citrus is something a bit spicy, a bit mysterious. What I was pleasantly surprised at is the amazing staying power of this perfume. The first day I wore it, I applied it around 8 am on a day when I didn't get home till 8 pm. As I was standing in the kitchen, my husband came up to me and just started nibbling on my neck, exclaiming how nice I smelled. You can bet I'll be getting Bergamot again! ;)

The top notes are overpowering. Too strong, too much citrus notes. It feels to me that this is just a super cheap soap that my grandfather used to like. The smell is just too dated. Absolutely for mature people. (over 60). Dry down is much better.

I really like this scent a lot but I honestly haven't worn it enough to write a real review.

Very crisp Bergamont and citrus. Great for summer.

It smelled really good but it didn?t last long at all...... it seemed like it was watered down. Needless to say it didn?t last 2 weeks.

It smells like a margarita to me. While I love a good margarita - I don?t want to smell like one.

This perfume is fascinating and strange, but after a few hours the only note I can smell on myself is black pepper.

I sampled this one with my husband in mind as I love bergamot fragrance in general. I am so glad I tried it, I am absolutely in love with it and so is my husband. What more could you ask, right?! It is bergamot strong, with the black pepper coming through, and just enough citrus to balance. Long wearing you ask? I kid you not, it was still going strong after he gave our dog a bath!!

The smell of this cologne is amazing. It reminds me of a woody citrus clean smell. My only complaint about this cologne is the projection and longevity of the smell is horrible. I sprayed 4 sprays on my neck and I still could not smell the cologne when I left the room I sprayed the cologne on. Don't know for sure but I think it may be watered down or something. The only reason I am giving it two stars is for the projection and longevity. The smell is great, just wished it wasn't weak.

I really love the smell of this! Bell peppers, lime, and lemon. Very citrusy. It just doesn't last long enough for the full price. The sillage is good for about 3-4 feet for about an hour tops. The scent actually lasts about 2-3 hours. Which isn't long enough for me.

Strong initial scents include pepper, bitter citrus, lime. Not overly pleasant at first but it fades to a much more pleasing lime scent after a few hours.

Definitely enjoyed the scent. My wife said it went well with me. Only downside is the sileage, doesn?t last that long. GREAT summer scent for a warm day out.

I have a great deal of fondness for Malin & Goetz, though I recognize that their scents can be polarizing...it seems they inspire a love - hate dichotomy rather than a more inclusive continuum from love , working down degrees at a time to hate. I had been incredibly eager to try cannabis, having already been familiar with many of the M&G products, and while I enjoyed it, ultimately I had been more enamored with the IDEA and the description than the actually scent. Ac- I suppose...undeterred and fueled in part by a very true, lifelong love of real bergamot essential oil, I tried their version- IT DOESNT disappoint. I found it to be straightforward and unpretentious. The bergamot scent doesn?t get obscured or overwhelmed by unnecessary or competing hues. Minimalist, natural, straightforward, and uncomplicated. Classic and clean and accessible. Furthest it could be from low quality/ cheap, but neither is it an overwhelming, heady sickening attempt at smelling pretentious and sophisticated. ( let me allow a few qualifications- a caveat -should you forge ahead reading...I cannot say I fully subscribe to the idea that words can ever accurately convey smell in a truly precise or meaningful way relative to the person reading the description. Everyone?s personal experience, and the perspectives they adopt-a sum accumulated through a lifetime of very subjective and rich amalgam of every sight, sound,texture, smell, though, ETC AD INFINITUM, that they?ve ever encountered -inevitably will shape and color what?s I?ve written to fit their schema, in ways I can?t anticipate or prevent. If it helps at all to give my review context, in a nutshell...I?m an avid traveler, reader, live music enthusiast, unabashed hippie, activist, in love with the cósmic journey and everything in it. One love, no judgment and getting in sync with the flow of the universe. My faves are Histoires des Parfums 1969, patchouli, Amber, bergamot, Marc jacobs marc Jacobs, MJ Honey, Gucci Rush, gap grass, Givenchy simply irresistible, etc<<<<my hope is that may make my review more readily understood >>

This scent is perfect for summer. Light and airy.

Very clean, refreshing. i am obsessed. My new summer favorite.

The great smell of bergamot and citrus with a pinch of pepper.

This is a bright, clean, citrusy scent that?s not to over whelming and it develops well throughout the day. It?s great to wear during warm weather months. It?s a perfect scent if you?re going out with friends in a causal setting.

I?m conflicted about this one. It really is lovely - happy, bright, yummy even. I think that?s the problem. The mentioned bell pepper note that makes this so fine, also makes it almost food-like. And I am just not into gourmand fragrances to wear. If you are - JUMP on this one! It?s mighty fine. But I was brought up cooking southern/Cajun/soul food, and everything begins with ?the trinity?, of which bell pepper is a huge part. I?m looking for sexy, not good enough to eat! lol ?

I really like this scent. It?s a nice, clean, crisp smell, and it?s a very pleasant bergamot. I?m wondering if it will smell better on my husband though, but I do really like it for myself. It?s definitely a year round fragrance, in my opinion.

The second I spritzed this, i immediately felt my feet start moving and i really wanted to salsa. Spicy and sexy, this is definitely not a work place fragrance. The best time to wear this is to go out dancing, as this a fragrance that gets better mixing with your sweat due to the mandarin, green pepper and grapefruit notes. I would definitely buy a bottle of this. If you love feeling a little extra when you go out, this is the fragrance for you!

Awesome sent. But like the others said in the reviews low amount of longevity

Smell losses it?s strength quick

A lot of bergamot and citrus, it's nice if u like a bergamot/citrus base, still a good cologne. Valid.

I wanted to like this but the over powering scent of Lemon seems to destroy any hint of the other ingredients. There are no subtle overtones just LEMON PLEDGE. My wife agrees and also noticed it doesn't fade away as you wear it. It just stays lemon pledge until it dissipates after about 3 hours, then it gone and I mean like you never had any cologne on at all... no hints... not residual... nothing.

Overall I liked this scent but it took some getting used to. It wasn?t what I was expecting but it wasn?t horrible!

Wonderful Bergamot fragrance! Extremely likeable. Only 4 stars due to slightly weaker projection, sillage, and longevity. Scent is like cutting into a fresh piece of fruit and the zest filling the air. Summer - Day - Casual/Office/Hanging Out Total = 4 stars

This fragrance doesn't last very long and it's to lite for me and my husband.

Love love this perfume. It is a light everyday smell. It is the same as earl grey tea.

Just received this today and tried it. This is my favorite fragrance so far. Impossible to describe how much I like this. My two cents? I highly suggest you give it a try!

Like this alot. Citrus is strong at first but dies down or evaporates somwhat and then I smell mostly pepper and vetiver. Does anyone else smell vetiver? It is not mentioned in the description but I am almost certain I smell it.

I love the smell of bergamot and earl grey tea, so I?m always looking for something that has that feeling. This doesn?t so much have that warm tea feeling but it is very fresh and zesty. The smell of the pepper really comes through and it reminds me of spending a warm afternoon in the garden as a little kid.

Really like the fresh critus & bergamot notes along with bell and black peppers. As others have noted, it lacks legs and fades pretty quickly. Glad i tried it but wouldn't purchase a bottle of this stuff. For refreshing citrus I'd prefer acqua di gio or lacoste (yellow bottle).

Long lasting. Fresh citrus feel.

I love the smell of the fragrance but it just doesn't last long, I would say it lasts for 2 hours until it starts to die down. Still it does smell nice that's why I give it three stars.

I liked this juice a lot ! Summer in a bottle

Great scent. Light but noticeable.

Absolutly a great fragrence totally worth picking. Great all year fragrence

I liked this one, because I generally like bergamot. And this scent is not overly sweet, but to me it is a little too unisex. So, I lack masculinity.

the scent of this product, much like the Canabis sibling is close to some the best smelling fragrances i have in my collection. I have Creed Silver Mountain and Aventus. The only issue I am having is the longevity of the scent.

The smell was alright more of a mature smell for me, i like fresh scents. Still a good smell just not for me

Unique scent will buy full size

It is a matter of taste though. My friend loved it

I enjoyed this fragrance, clean and fresh. This is a summer daytime fragrance. Performance not so good.

Id like to say i enjoyed it but i never received it in the mail. Ive read other reviews where people never got the cologne or perfume they were charged for, but figured it was a joke or something. I was charged, but nothing came. Cancelling my subscription.

let me start by saying high quality scent lemon note comes on very strong at first but dies down pretty quick and becomes a great scent doesn't last on my skin very long but on my clothes lasts all day not quiet what i expected or wanted but still pleasant

This is a clean, citrus-y day time perfume. It's refined and sophisticated.

Big fan of this scent. Really interesting and unique smell, I definitely plan on buying the full-size version.

I have always been a girl for scents wit patchouli, however this one is a bit over powering.

My favorite so far!!! I will be purchasing a full size. I just wish the scent lasted a little bit longer but otherwise I absolutely love it!! ?

We are currently using this as an air fresher in the bathroom. It does not smell good at all.

This smells like alien.... The discription at scent bird says bergamot, patchulli, magnolia, pepper and sandlewood, The descriptive card says bergamot, mandarin, green pepper, lime and grapefruit..... Seems like a nice sent for someone else lasts a long time.... kind of manley. I dont like ctrius save for bergamot alone.

TERRIBLE! If I could give it no stars I would.

What makes this scent so captivating is that?s it has as many deep notes as it does light

I don?t know if I was picking up on one note in particular or if it was how they mixed together, but I did not like this scent.

I love the scent. Love the sandalwood base. On me it wears off quickly. I have to spray several times. It sux because Malin+Goetz isnt cheap

Great for the summertime.

This is a fresh, crisp, clean unisex scent that isn't over powering. I can easily wear this to work and not hear from others that its too heavy or overpowering. I've gotten lots of compliments on it as well.

I really like this one! I love the citrus and slight peppery notes. Great for every day wear.

I wore Dolce & Gabanna Light Blue forever. I was looking for a new signature scent, and feel like this may be the one. I love the ?pepper? and citrus notes.

This scent is definite strong but I love it! Go light for day to day or use it as a room spray. Definitely has multiple uses and I understand why women give it to their men but I love it

Loveeee

At first when I spray I am not impressed, but after few seconds it becomes this light, fresh and very pleasant scent for every day, perfect for the office or just right after shower.

hated this, it seriously smells like bug spray

Nice and fresh smelling, but doesn't seem to last long.

Love this scent! Inviting bergamot + citrus notes. Lingers on skin all day and is long lasting on clothing. Highly recommend if you enjoy bergamot.

I DID NOT LIKE THIS AT ALL! I?m so open to trying new scents, but this was absolutely terrible!!!! Threw it right in the trash....

It was strong and does last most of the day. It's just that it really smells like Lysol or some other cleaning product.

I can't stop sniffing this. The scent just sits so well with me.

Refreshing and bright! The more I've worn this, the more I like it.

Awesome

such a good smell. real cedary but citrusy too

This product is a sweet surprise. When I first tried it I felt it was too potent but after its initial burst of aroma it becomes a very enjoyable scent. Actually logged into to purchase a bottle when this review popped up.

Love this fragrance that is present but light. Sultry yet gentle.

I receive so many compliments when I wear this fragrance. Good daytime, office fragrance. Not too strong. Good staying power.

Smells great but it is not long lasting. Great for wearing at the job or movie date because the scent is not over powering.

I love the smell of Bergamot that orangey warmth but this scent starts off great and is gone by the end of the day. I do not dislike the fragrance I simply prefer to spritz once a day....unless there is an event later

I truly love the smell of this perfume.

The mix with the patchouli in with the rest of the ingredients makes this sent amazing it's not overbearing but it is bold and amazing. I found my new signature scent thank you so much scentbird!

Absolutely love this!! If you like Commodity Bergamot then definitely try this!! It is a little less sweet than Commodity?s version, a bit more earthy and I love it!!! You can?t go wrong - well unless you are a sugary, or rose kind of person then this is not what you want, at all.

This scent smelled very peppery on my skin. I had hoped with patchouli in it that it would have depth.

I love Malin+Goetz. Their scents are all feminine and masculine at the same time. I love citrus notes to this scent, but the peppery smell of the bergamot comes on a little strong at first. Once it mellows out, it is a beautiful scent.

Light, doesn't get there before you do

I loved this scent! I've always been a fan of bergamot but this was addictive! I found it energizing, stimulating, and clean. Like a double cup of Earl Grey!

Refreshing scent ! Works ! More of a Spring , Summer scent !

I have been into essential oil scents for a year or so now and enjoy bergamont, ginger and citrus scents which this perfume definetly has! If you do as well, this is a good one to try!

I wasn't sure at first. It was pretty strong at first but when it mellowed out it was great. I really am enjoying the scent and my husband really likes it which is a bonus.

To me (obviously) it smells like a man slowly sipping a glass of Earl Grey tea on a foggy afternoon.

Love the smell of this! Was exactly what I was looking for!! The only downside is I don?t think it lasts very long on me, but doesn?t really matter when you have another one coming in shortly!! So spray away!

In my own opinion this scent is more for a male than female. Starts off citrusy but ends up smelling a lot like bergamot at the end. If you like bergamot, you'll love this one. Not a bad scent just not for me

I wasn't a huge fan. There is a little too much musk in this for me.

Heavy wood notes ending with very sweet for me. I like clean crisp scents. This one did not work for me.

It was strong at first but I fell in love after it dried.
