I can smell the vanilla in the scent, but I still get more peach than black currant. I think that note comes from the amber and benzoin. I wouldn’t say it smells of gunpowder but it is a slightly smoky note at the back of the perfume. There is a grounding element to it so it isn’t sweet on sweet (although it is quite sweet). They aren’t over ripe, it is a much more subtle peach thread than that, but it is somehow present. Like those really ripe peaches that have been sitting in a shaded road side stand and have never seen the inside of a refrigerator. It is still floral, but for some reason I get a vague hint of peach. I’ve worn this for a week with no actual issues with the scent so I consider that a win.īut if it doesn’t smell like bergamot what does it smell like? With many bergamot infused products my eyes tend to itch and water, hence the warning to run away.
