Angel Schlesser Bergamota is a Cologne launched in 2016, created by Alberto Morillas. Bergamota opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of White Flowers, Jasmin Sambac, Orange Blossom, and Gardenia, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, and Benzoin. Angel Schlesser's Bergamota carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Don't let the 'cologne' tag fool you, this isn't some shrinking violet. It's a surprisingly assertive white floral with a sunny disposition, ideal for warm weather when you want to make a bright, yet clean, statement.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its moderate sillage and fresh, clean profile make it suitable for casual and daytime wear, including sport. The bright white florals might be a bit too vibrant for very formal settings or intimate dates, but it's perfectly fine for a relaxed office environment.

About

It opens with a zesty burst of bergamot and mandarin, sharpened by a touch of blackcurrant, before quickly transitioning into a heart of effervescent white flowers. Orange blossom and jasmine sambac lead the charge, with gardenia lending a subtly creamy, almost indolic edge. The dry down is a clean, musky affair, cushioned by soft sandalwood and a hint of benzoin warmth.
