Radiant Bergamot, from Ferrari was released in 2016. The perfumer behind this creation is Mélanie Carestia. It has the top notes of Bergamot, Ginger, and Lemon, middle notes of Geranium, Nutmeg, and Rosemary, and base notes of Labdanum, Oakmoss, and Patchouli.
Gets compared to Acqua di Parma Colonia a lot, and I can see what people mean on that because, wonders never cease, I actually own a bottle of Colonia, so I’ve compared them, and there ARE a lot of similarities. The Ferrari is a lot brighter because of the nutmeg and ginger though which gives the bergamot a candied kind of feel, and it performs better, which isn’t to say it’s great, it’s just better than the Four Hours Tops I get from the Parma, and also it just generally smells less like a urinal cake than Colonia does. I’m not saying I don’t like that one because I do, it just has the aura of a public toilet about it.
I can’t believe I just wrote “THE AURA OF A PUBLIC TOILET” in a perfume review. I don’t know who I am anymore.
