Bergamotto di Calabria opens with a sparkling bergamot lemon-like orange citrus... and that is pretty much what you get for the duration. Supporting the citrus to a very minor degree is a bit of transparent vetiver, slightly sweet vanilla-like benzoine and non-animallic light musk. The scent is completely linear throughout. Projection is below average and longevity is below average to average. There is not much I can say about Bergamotto di Calabria... It is a simplistic, pleasant smelling bergamot scent that delivers the goods for what it promises; noting more, nothing less. I happen to love bergamot and enjoy smelling it plenty while drinking Earl Grey tea and also as a dominant ingredient in far superior scents like Coeur de Vetiver Sacre by L'Artisan, but when near isolated like it is here it gets boring rather quickly. The fact that the fragrance is relatively short-lived and extremely linear does not help and I find myself looking to move on to more interesting compositions quickly. If you are looking for a bergamot soliflore, then this could very well be what you seek and worth a sniff but I give Bergamotto di Calabria a middling 2.5 stars out of 5. Agreeable, but mind numbingly mundane and disappointingly very average.

A wonderful blend of lime, bergamot, some floral note and greens finally softened by musk and by a touch of benzoin due to tame the earthy feel of vetiver and some corner around. Airy and a bit salty in the way it conjures slightly one of my favourite fragrances in the world, the lovely Sel de Vetiver.  It reminds my land, Calabria, in its meals consumed close to the sea and with the salty and floral breeze blowing on your face. Wonderful.

This is a pleasant, well-made scent. It doesn't make a big statement nor it is particularly original. However, it wears well and is enjoyable. Phase one is a very good citrus basket of lemon and plummy bergamot. This is clean, refreshing, and renders the citrus notes accurately. Phase two brings ginger and a bit of wood. These work well together. A hint of grassy and even nutty vetiver lurks in the background. The scent is not heavy or sweet. It sits quite close to the skin.

Fairly nice fragrance that presents bold orange / bergamo note throughout wear that is accompanied by woodsy cedar and a slightly waxy soapy candle note that can be a pleasant distinction but may make the "unisex" classification suspect. Men may not want to wear this and certainly wouldn't in any sort of mixed or formal/professional environment. Still, it is an intriguing fragrance worth trying out. The benzoin is there only slightly and isn't as medicinal as it often can be. Lasts 5-6 hours on skin.

Pretty much linear throughout the whole lifetime of the fragrance. Smells nice, but I would agree that it can become boring quickly. A great summer fragrance, and a good fragrance for teens and college kids.

Nice smell but longevity is short so is sillage. It's a natural smell, you can feel quality, it's well made, but it's a short lived pleasure.

I was looking for this kind of fragance for summer, but with better sillage and longevity, i can't spend so much money on 1/2 hour of scent.

Reminds me when I take a lemon wedge and squeeze it into my glass of water at a restaurant! All the lemon oils stick to my hands through the night. This makes me feel right at home, but I think I might need to buy the body lotion and use it with the EDT in order to get more lasting power out of it...
