Rosendo Mateu Olfactive Expressions NO 1 Bergamot, Tea Leaves, Sandal Wood is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Rosendo Mateu. NO 1 Bergamot, Tea Leaves, Sandal Wood opens with Bergamot, Lime, Lavender, and Rosemary, settles into a heart of Green Pepper, Smoke, Woody Notes, and Neroli, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Iris, and Clean Musk. Rosendo Mateu Olfactive Expressions's NO 1 Bergamot, Tea Leaves, Sandal Wood carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

A bright, herbal take on tea and citrus that settles into clean sandalwood and musk. It is fresh and tidy rather than showy, with enough rosemary, thyme and sage to keep it from being a plain citrus splash. Easy to wear and hard to dislike.

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.

About

It opens with bergamot, Italian green mandarin and lime, sharpened by rosemary, thyme, sage and lavender for a fresh, herbal start. The heart is built around green tea, neroli, jasmine and orange blossom, with cardamom, lily of the valley, green pepper, smoke and woody notes adding a dry, slightly spicy edge. The base is sandalwood, clean musk and iris, which leaves a soft, tidy finish. Overall it is a fresh, green, citrus-and-tea scent with a calm woody foundation.
