Commodity Bergamot is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Stephen Nilsen. Bergamot opens with Clementine, Bergamot, and Italian Green Mandarin Orange, settles into a heart of Jasmin Sambac, Geranium, and Mint, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vetiver, Patchouli, and Violet Leaf. Commodity's Bergamot carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

Commodity's Bergamot is a divisive freshie. Some adore its bright, natural citrus and green notes, calling it a perfect everyday scent. Others, however, are let down by its fleeting presence, questioning its full-bottle worthiness at full price.

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.

With moderate longevity and sillage, this fragrance is subtle enough for the office, yet its fresh and invigorating profile makes it perfect for casual wear, warm weather, and even active settings. Its lack of 'beast mode' performance prevents it from being a strong formal or date night contender.

About

This opens with an invigorating burst of zesty bergamot and juicy clementine, like peeling fresh fruit under a bright sun. Soon, a cool, herbaceous mint intertwines with delicate jasmine, adding a refreshing green dimension. As it settles, a clean, earthy blend of vetiver, patchouli, and subtle violet leaf emerges, grounding the lively citrus into a sophisticated, airy musk that lingers gently.
