• bergamot cologne - (106 drops) |
|
this is a [unisex] blend of bergamot fixed with patchouli (for depth) and light musk (for sweetness). note:
because of the evanescent character of this blend -- being mostly
citrus top note -- it is best blended with an oil carrier, e.g. jojoba,
(as opposed to alcohol), because the scent lingers longer on the skin. * additional note: increase the light musk to 4 drops for a more feminine "perfume".

are [subtle] differences between the two; the bergaptene-free clear
bergamot is a bit sweeter as well as being non-phototoxic; the regular
green bergamot is a bit stronger and has more depth of character.)
