Molton Brown Orange & Bergamot is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Beverley Bayne. Orange & Bergamot opens with Bergamot, Orange, Bitter Orange, and Petitgrain, settles into a heart of Neroli, Rose, Ylang-Ylang, and Clove, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Vetiver, and Peru Balsam. Molton Brown's Orange & Bergamot carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A surprisingly tenacious and well-rounded citrus that sidesteps common pitfalls, though some find it a bit too mature or reminiscent of home fragrances. It's a crowd-pleaser for those who love a refined orange and bergamot blend, but prepare for diverse opinions.

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 fresh, clean citrus profile makes it highly suitable for casual wear and can even work for sport. While its longevity is noted, it's generally not overpowering, allowing for office wear, though its distinctiveness might be a touch much for formal events.

About

Molton Brown's Orange & Bergamot opens with a vivacious burst of bitter orange and zesty bergamot, underpinned by the green snap of galbanum and petitgrain. As it settles, a refined heart of neroli and ylang-ylang emerges, softened by a hint of rose and spicy clove. The base offers a smooth, lingering finish with creamy sandalwood, earthy vetiver, and a quiet musk, preventing the citrus from disappearing too quickly.
