Caviar Bergamot
by Zara
Caviar Bergamot offers a bright, clean, and invigorating citrus profile dominated by Primofiore lemon, grapefruit, and bergamot, with a subtle spiciness from ginger and a faintly floral, powdery depth from jasmine. The scent evolves into a soft, musky finish with a slightly soapy or dust-like quality, making it feel refined yet unobtrusive. Though the initial sillage is moderate to strong, performance is notably weak—lasting only a few hours on skin, with minimal longevity on clothing. The fragrance is universally wearable, particularly favored in warm, humid climates and for spring and summer wear, and its fleeting nature suits daily casual or professional settings. Despite being inked with inspiration from Jo Malone’s oceanic collections, it lacks the depth or originality of those perfumes, sounding more like a pleasant derivative of Dior Homme Cologne or Versace Pour Homme.
Pros
- +A fresh, uplifting citrus burst that feels clean and crisp, ideal for hot weather and daytime use.
- +Effortlessly unisex with broad appeal—no gender-specific connotations, suitable for casual and professional settings.
- +Gentle, balanced dry-down with musk and subtle floral-sweet notes, making it approachable and easy to wear.
Cons
- −Very weak longevity, especially on skin—fades significantly within hours.
- −Performance is not accessible or satisfying to those seeking more lasting or impactful fragrances.
- −Feels generic and lacks distinctive character despite its pleasant composition, making it hard to stand out.
