On Essential parfums: Every now and again a brand comes along that really hits on every level. Essential parfums is one those brands. Superb perfumes, nothing superfluous or irrelevant in the lineup, a nice number of releases, Frederic Malle style focus on perfumers (all of which are fantastic master perfumers) with their name (and picture) pride of place on the bottle and marketing materials. A commitment to sustainability, in terms of perfume materials and packaging, transparency about natural naturals used and their source, and the really important thing to most consumers an pledge to keep prices affordably low without sacrificing quality. So a brand that truly adds value and brings a lot to the table. I have huge admiration and respect for them and they should be applauded for the whole concept of the brand. Nice Bergamot? Nice? What like Nice the place in France? or just like.... Nice? Either way it works. This is a pleasant, citrus floral, very well blended and lovely and all that. However, it's not quite what I like in a bergamot, I like a touch more zing and bite, This feel a touch muted, which is fine it's a lovely thing and a subsequent wear might have me loving it, and I'm not one of these people who finds it impossible to get up for a simple citrus scent because getting them to behave like this take a lot of skill from a perfume, more than moronic so called critique, gives them credit for. I think my ultimate citrus scents, well the best Bergamot lets say is Le Labo for me which is simulatiously sweeter, sharper and perhaps more musky or something? However, AGAIN, Look at the price and what you're getting here, if you love citrus don't pass this by! Despite how obsequious and what an arselicky shill type I've seemed over this brand (yes it makes me sick too!!!) I don't secretly work for or have any affiliation with them whatsoever. I paid for my discovery set and bottles, & gladly to be honest. I'm bigging them up so much because I genuinely want folks to get the scoop on perfume which isn't reinventing any wheels or breaking new ground in terms of the smell of the perfume itself but I want to pass on to you the value for money on the good (and sometimes great) perfumery and products on offer here.
