Nice Bergamote
by Essential Parfums
Nice Bergamote by Essential Parfums is a clean, bright, and luminous citrus fragrance centered on bergamot with a delicate floral and musky drydown. It opens with a fresh, juicy bergamot that is softened by white floral notes like jasmine and ylang-ylang, creating an effervescent, almost soda-like freshness. The accord is unisex in spirit and ideal for warm weather, with a subtle woody base from cedar and tonka bean adding warmth without heaviness. The scent evolves into a soft, skin-like dry down with a gentle floral sweetness that lingers pleasantly but quietly. Although longevity is modest—around 2 to 6 hours depending on skin and conditions—and projection remains close to the body, many describe the fleeting experience as enjoyable, natural, and refreshingly restrained. The fragrance stands as a refined example of simple, high-quality perfumery where balance and clarity matter more than intensity.
