How it unfolds
-
The bergamot
Bergamot is the centre and the subject: the brand's word for it is dazzling. It gives the scent its bright, slightly bitter citrus-peel character. Le Labo gives no top, heart and base, so read the rest of the list as ways of shaping that one material. The brand names Reggio Calabria in Italy as its bergamot source.
-
Floral and bitter
Petit grain brings a floral side to the citrus, as the brand puts it, while grapefruit adds bitterness. Between them they keep the bergamot from being simply sweet or simply sharp. The result is a citrus with some tension in it, which is what keeps it interesting.
-
Amber, musk and vetiver
Amber and musk bring what the brand calls a flamboyant sweetness, warm and soft against the citrus. A touch of vetiver gives that sweetness a dry, earthy limit. The working title Fire Cologne fits: freshness with some heat underneath.
Wearing it
When, who and why
Warm days and daily use
Spring and summer days suit it best, at work or at the weekend. Two or three sprays on the neck and forearms are enough. Because amber and musk sit behind the citrus, it feels rounder than a purely fresh citrus scent, without becoming heavy.
Who it is for
People who love citrus but want some body in it: bitter grapefruit, a floral petit grain, a soft bed of amber and musk. It suits those who like clean-feeling perfumes with a little warmth and want something easy to wear. If you look for a dry, purely zesty citrus, it may feel too sweet.
Why choose Le Labo Bergamote 22
Six materials, all named, and one of them clearly in charge: that makes the list easy to read. Of the 22 ingredients the name counts, the brand discloses six. For anyone who wants citrus but not a plain one, the idea is clear before the bottle is opened. The concentration is Eau de Parfum, the size 50 ml.

A bright bergamot shaped by floral petit grain and bitter grapefruit, with a sweet base of amber and musk and a little vetiver.
Is it only a summer scent?

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
