Carolina Herrera Bergamot Bloom is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2017, created by Alberto Morillas. Bergamot Bloom opens with Bergamot, Lemon, and Ginger, settles into a heart of Jasmine and Pink Pepper, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Patchouli, and Ambroxan. Carolina Herrera's Bergamot Bloom carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

A divisive freshie, Bergamot Bloom is either a summer essential or an overpriced, scratchy citrus. If you're after a clean, uplifting scent and have cash to burn, give it a go; otherwise, sample first to dodge disappointment.

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Bergamot Bloom bursts open with a vibrant, zesty cocktail of lemon and bergamot, sharpened by a hint of spicy ginger. As it settles, delicate jasmine petals emerge, softened by a subtle pink pepper kick. The base grounds the bright opening with a clean, earthy vetiver and a whisper of ambroxan, creating a surprisingly airy and modern finish. Patchouli is barely there, adding just a touch of depth rather than a heavy hand.
