  Tom Ford’s Venetian Bergamot is a very pleasant scent, fresh, floral, and with a spicy touch, where the spices are fresh and not warm. Upon application, some soft citrus is seasoned with ginger and pepper, making a transparent transition toward the flowers without losing the initial essence; this part seems more feminine. In the final dry down, soft woods and amber appear, giving it a more masculine character. The fragrance has been very pleasant for me, bringing tranquility and relaxation, as it’s not heavy but present. Although it’s unisex, I feel it’s slightly loaded with femininity, but a man can wear it without problems. Given its characteristics, I see it as ideal for any season, though with a preference for autumn and winter. Projection and fixation are medium on my skin. I recommend trying it.

  Tom Ford’s Venetian Bergamot smells great: fresh, floral, and spicy, but those spices are fresh, not warm. At first, you get soft citrus with a touch of ginger and pepper that cleanly fade into the flowers, maintaining that initial opening; this part feels more feminine. As it dries down, it leaves soft woods and amber, giving it a more masculine vibe. I’ve loved it; it brings me peace and relaxation because it’s not heavy, though it is noticeable. Although it’s marketed as unisex, I see it as a bit loaded with femininity, but a man can wear it without issues. Ideal for any season, though more suited for autumn and winter. Projection and longevity are medium on my skin. I recommend trying it.

  I absolutely loved this perfume for summer days. It’s fresh right out of the bottle; you can feel the spicy bergamot mixing with the other notes, making it fresh without being typically citrusy or having heavy florals. As Beto describes in his review, it’s very well balanced. I’d add that in its mid-stage evolution, it’s somewhat floral. Personally, this evolution isn’t always the same; maybe it depends on our mood or environment changing our famous pH, as there are days when the floral transition lasts longer than others. Similarly, once it’s fully settled, it retains that freshness—slightly soapy, slightly spicy, very pleasant and unique. Highly recommended. I tested it in a sample and when I got the chance, I bought it without a second thought; I don’t think my 50ml bottle will last through this summer. It can be worn daily without annoying anyone. I bought it in the Caribbean, and with the humid heat, it didn’t seem as fresh as in Chile, where the heat is dry, so you always have to test it for a while to decide if it’s right for you.

  This fragrance is fascinating. More than ‘Venetian Bergamot,’ it should be called ‘Sandalwood and Gardenia’ given its predominantly woody opening and floral dry down. How does anyone, even Tom Ford, think bergamot can be grown in Venice? Maybe inside a gondola on the canals? Unacceptable. While it might lean feminine for many men, the fresh species, woods, and amber push it into a true unisex dimension. If you’re looking for a truly long-lasting bergamote that endures over ten hours, look no further than BERGAMOTE SOLEIL by Atelier Cologne, a house expert in citrus that lasts over ten hours without distortion. Grab the original version before L’Oreal reformulates it for commercial reasons. Finally, if you want the best sandalwood in a perfume, find it in SANTAL CARMIN, also by Atelier Cologne.

  Watch out for the Venetian Bergamot—it’s not just a simple citrus cologne. I get the name: it’s not the star note, but from start to finish, a slightly rough, bitter citrus plays a role to keep things balanced and cut through the heaviness. Honestly, it’s sublime. I only had 15ml for testing, but it was more than enough: a bright, solar white floral, tempered by that citrus edge, woody, creamy, fleshy, and slightly green; with longevity and projection well above average. I remember the first few times I tried it, catching a note like chewing gum or bubblegum within two minutes… after the third application, it was gone. A brilliant modernized take on a classic. Really well adapted for our time. Even though I’m not a fan of amber-woody white florals (in fact, I almost hated them—go figure with Alien), this recognizable family made me feel comfortable, bright, and elegant wearing this Tom Ford. Seriously, chapeau!!

  Watch out for Venetian Bergamot. Note that it’s not just a citrus cologne. I understand the name: it’s not the lead note, but from start to finish, a slightly rough, bitter citrus plays a role in this perfume to maintain balance and eliminate heaviness. Honestly, it seems sublime to me. I only had 15ml for my tests, but it was more than enough: a bright, solar white floral, tempered by the citrus point, woody, creamy, fleshy, carnal, and slightly green; with longevity and projection well above average… I remember the first few times I tried it, how I’d catch a note like chewing gum or bubblegum within two minutes of applying it… after the third application, I couldn’t find it again. A brilliant modernized interpretation of a classic. Really well adapted to our time. Without being a fan of amber-woody white florals, in fact almost hating them (go figure with Alien), this very identifiable family has made me feel comfortable, bright, and elegant while wearing this Tom Ford. Seriously, chapeau!!
