Rosendo Mateu Olfactive Expressions Rosendo Mateu Nº 1 Bergamot, Tea Leaf, Sandalwood is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Rosendo Mateu. Rosendo Mateu Nº 1 Bergamot, Tea Leaf, Sandalwood opens with Bergamot, Lime, Lavender, and Rosemary, settles into a heart of Green Pepper, Neroli, Orange Blossom, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Iris, and Clean Musk.

A divisive freshie that aims for 'luxurious soap' but occasionally drifts into 'toilet spray' territory. For every fan raving about its sparkling clean vibe, there's another getting green pepper and cleaning fluid. Try before you buy.

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 kicks off with a zesty burst of bergamot and lime, sharpened by a medley of aromatic herbs like rosemary and sage. The heart unveils a green, slightly spicy tea note, lifted by neroli and subtle white florals before settling into a soft, clean base of creamy sandalwood, powdery iris, and a gentle musk. There's a persistent fresh, soapy quality throughout.
