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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its moderate sillage and 'too sharp' or 'toilet cleaner' descriptors from some reviews suggest it's not ideal for all office settings. However, its fresh and aromatic character makes it suitable for casual wear and even sport, offering an invigorating lift. It could work for a relaxed date or a less formal event.

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

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood

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

Rêverie de Bergamote opens with a vibrant, almost punchy, aromatic blast of bergamot, orange, and basil, underscored by an unusual and intriguing caraway note. As it settles, lavender and rosemary emerge, bringing a cool, herbal earthiness, steering it away from pure citrus brightness. The dry-down reveals a deeper, more masculine base of vetiver, moss, and sandalwood, grounding the earlier aromatic freshness in a surprisingly creamy, woody finish.
