Bergamot Brother
Bergamot Brother by Liquides Imaginaires is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with bergamot, mandarin, sweet orange, angelica and cardamom, moves into ginger, cinnamon and orange blossom and dries down to akigalawood, sweet orange, cedarwood, benzoin, musk and amberwood. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
- Sweet Orange Juicy and cheerful. The friendliest citrus there is.
- Angelica Musky, herbal root. Earthy and a bit strange.
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
Heart
- Ginger Warm, zesty and slightly soapy. Bridges citrus and spice.
- Cinnamon Sweet heat. Reads festive, sometimes to a fault.
- Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
Dry-down
- Akigalawood Patchouli with the earth taken out. Peppery, lightly spiced dry wood that makes a base feel expensive.
- Sweet Orange Juicy and cheerful. The friendliest citrus there is.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Amberwood Dry synthetic warmth, sharper than amber. Everywhere in modern masculines.
