Essential Parfums Nice Bergamote is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Antoine Maisondieu. Nice Bergamote opens with Bergamot, settles into a heart of Jasmine and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Cedar and Tonka Bean. Essential Parfums's Nice Bergamote carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A truly 'nice' bergamot for those who like their citrus gentle and floral-backed, but a miss for anyone wanting a bold, lasting scent. It's a clean, inoffensive crowd-pleaser for easygoing sunny days, though performance is a real sticking point.

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.

This scent is incredibly versatile for daily wear, particularly in warmer weather. Its light, clean, and inoffensive nature makes it perfect for the office or casual outings, while its refreshing qualities are great for sport, but its modest projection and floral lean might not suit formal settings.

About

Opens with a bright, zesty burst of natural bergamot, almost sparkling, which quickly mellows into a soft, inviting heart. Delicate jasmine and creamy ylang-ylang emerge, creating a clean white floral accord that feels like fresh laundry or a luxurious spa. A subtle cedar and tonka bean base adds a hint of warmth and sweetness, preventing the florals from becoming too sharp and settling the fragrance into a smooth, slightly woody skin scent.
