Overall Smell: 4/5 - It's a very nice, floraly and citrusy smell that's quite refreshing and good for everyday use. I've received a few compliments on it, but my experience with this and other Le Labo scents is that they don't last long (4 hours).
Not worth the price, but if you do like it I would buy the smaller bottle.
This is an outstanding fresh fragrance the initial burst of sharp grapefruit and bergamot is lovely. It's backed by cedar and vetiver and a little musk. The heart of the fragrance has petitgrain and as it dries down a bit the white floral nature of orange flower. In fact the white floral accord gets stronger as the citrus dies down but never becomes too much. To say the citrus dies down is true but it never looses that zing and that's impressive. Bergamote 22 is perfectly executed, well balanced but doesn't compel me to buy a bottle, I'd rather wear Acqua di Gio or even Acqua di Parma colonia as a much cheaper option. I'm not slating it though if you have the money this is as good a citrus as you can get, long lasting and utterly clean. A niche citrus worthy of purchase has to bowl me over and not many do. They really are few and far between, this comes close but not quite.
Bergamote 22 zaps me into believing I'm ready for a busy work day. Lasts a good 4 hours before fading into a nice musk and vetiver scent. This is my favorite Le Labo to date
