How it unfolds
-
A bergamot-led idea
Antoine Maisondieu builds the perfume on natural Calabrian bergamot, so citrus is the subject rather than a passing sparkle. Bergamot has a bittersweet, slightly floral peel character, which is why it sits so easily beside flowers.
-
Three flowers, one accord
Rose petals, jasmine and ylang-ylang from the Comoros make up what the brand calls a floral accord around the bergamot. Rose is soft and a little fresh, jasmine rounder, ylang-ylang creamier. Together they form a bouquet that stays light and still has roundness.
-
Warmth from wood and tonka
Cedarwood brings a warm, dry wood, and Venezuelan tonka bean softens it with a gentle sweetness, as the brand describes it. The brand also stresses sustainable sourcing of the tonka beans and a replanting programme for the ylang-ylang.
Wearing it
When, who and why
Easy to place
A bright, floral-citrus scent that suits spring and summer, the office and daytime errands as well as lighter evenings. At 16% concentration it is a proper Eau de Parfum, so two or three sprays are enough; wrists and neck are the best places.
Who it is for
People who like citrus perfumes but want more than a quick burst of freshness, and who enjoy flowers when they stay clear and orderly. It is unisex and sits comfortably on anyone who prefers a bright line to a heavy one.

Questions
Frequently asked
Is Nice Bergamote only a citrus perfume?
No. Bergamot leads, but rose petals, jasmine and ylang-ylang give it a floral body, and cedarwood with tonka bean a warm, soft wood. Citrus is the theme, not the whole scent.
Which seasons suit it best?
Spring and summer, when brightness is welcome, though the cedarwood and tonka bean keep it comfortable on a mild autumn day.
How strong is it?
Fairly strong for a citrus perfume: it is an Eau de Parfum concentrated at 16%, according to the brand, which gives it more body than a light cologne.
Is it a perfume for men or women?
The brand lists it as unisex. Flowers and citrus work on anyone, and the cedarwood keeps the balance clean rather than sweet.

The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all excellent. I’m very satisfied. 👍💯👍
Very good quality profume, it last long and it has a good price for its incredible aroma and mixes of fruit and wood smell
A cozy, slightly sensual vanilla that feels like warm night air by the sea. Easy to love if you enjoy gourmand perfumes with a soft smoky edge.
This perfume is really well blended, I just removed a star because I personnaly don't like the top note (citronella)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Good cologne, love the citrus and ginger scent making it a playful combo while the tea base makes it a bit more mature. Great for the gym
FragranceGems is again really quick with their releases. I hope this one smells better than Too Damn Good. Already rating a 5 star because of previous experiences!!
Already pre-order. As always, FragranceGems is the first with good releases. Looking forward to my bottle!
The cap of the bottle came with a small part of it broken off and the glass pieces were in the box
