    I really enjoyed Sebastian’s review of Bergamotto di Positano…The scent profile sounds amazing. I am a huge fan of the aquatics, but the spiciness and amber notes sound like they would add to the versatility of this fragrance. I’d love to win this drawing, but even if I don’t, it will be on my shopping list. Thank you, and I look forward to trying your products.

  • ron payne says:

    I love bergamot fragrances, and Sebastian’s review of the accords in this scent made it sound like a must-try (especially bergamot and ginger). I’ve heard of Floris, but have never tried any of their fragrances. I am in the US.

  • Emmanual Kreisman says:

    Sounds like a winner. Bottle looks beautiful btw. Sebastian is always on point with his reviews. Love that there is a gourmand base to deepen the Bergamatto top. Sounds like this will have an interesting progression.

  • Patrick Echevarria says:

    Bergamot,Green Tea,aquatic….sounds like a winner to me! Hope to win the full bottle giveaway for this! Awesome review as usual by Sebastian.

  • Ryan Huerta says:

    Another stellar review from Sebastian. When I think of the Floris line, I liken it to penhaligons for the simple reason that they are discreet and usually very proper scents. Fragrances for the gentleman who is both calm and debonair. I was able to get my nose on this at the Scent Bar and found it to be a very nice release. It did however seem to be on the weaker side for an EDP. I would love to test this one out again. I currently own four Floris frags: Leather Oud, Santal, Elite and Lavender.

  • Levon Muradian says:

    Really Enjoyed Sebastians Review. Im a big fan of fresh citrus scents.have a gourmand type vibe behind the citruses sounds amazing. and a big fan of the house of Floris i own Santal, JF. I live in Los Angeles,CA

  • Aaron Luke says:

    I loved Sebastian’s review. It was really informative. I would love to try this because it is had bergamott and I love bergamott haha.

  • Lynne N says:

    This sounds like a winner for me. I like that Sebastian mentioned a picture of drinking tea, eating Pastries with the salt air—– overlooking the sea at Positano hotel. Ginger, tea, bergomot, of course, & orange blossom,, and a vanilla dominant note,,, what’s not to love? I have tried many Floris fragrances, and I have a very old, rare bottle of Floris Malmaison. This carnation fragrance was a favorite of Cary Grant.

  • fazalcheema says:

    Like Sebastian, I am also not fond of aquatic notes but Sebastian finds the aquatic theme to be nice here. I do enjoy bergamot and other citrusy notes when they are well done. In addition, this has Ormonde Jayne like quality to it. I have several from Floris in my collection including 89, Jasmine, and JF. I am in the US.

  • Patty P. says:

    I enjoy bergamot and aquatics as some go to summer fragrances. Always great to have a video review now and again. Nice to learn this is not a true bergamot and hear the reviewer’s thoughts. The only Floris I ever smelled was Gardenia, and I liked it. 🙂 USA

  • Matt R says:

    Greetings,
    Thanks so much for this giveaway. I’m def in for the giveaway. I like summer fragrances. USA here.

  • Tyrone says:

    I really enjoy new product from the house of Floris. They have many nice quality smelling fragrances. Keep up the good work in what you are doing. I have learn a lot from them. I am sure this is a new and wonderfully smelling product. Never had a Floris product. Hope to get some samples in on this company. Have a great one. God bless!

  • kco88 says:

    Sebastian did a wonderful job reviewing this fragrance. I am a huge fan of bergamot, but it can often be “too strong” in some fragrances. What intrigued me the most about Sebastian’s review is that he mentioned so much more than just the citrus notes. The vanilla base he mentions captured my attention because vanilla is my all time favorite scent. In addition, my experience with Floris fragrances has not given me too many gourmand notes, so I’m excited to smell the vanilla for myself! Having the vanilla and citrus notes together is genius and I cannot wait to give it a try! Thank you Sebastian, Floris, and Cafleurebon 🙂 New York, USA <3

  • Christian G says:

    Sebastian’s review of Bergamotto di Positano has me considering purchasing a bottle

  • Ben says:

    Floris Santal is one of my all time favorites! I would love to get a nose on this beauty!

  • johnsmunro says:

    The more I read and hear about the Floris house, the more I want to explore it. To me, it sounds as though Floris was trying to create an olfactory image of a salty, sunny day. Not many fragrance notes do more for that than citrus. The marine note, vanilla and tea notes Sebastian talks about I’m sure add to layer that even more. Excellent video and I’m excited to eventually try Bergamotto di Positano!

  • Ian says:

    Sounds like a perfect frag to step out of the hot summer and start transitioning into Autumn.

  • SirBlastmore says:

    Bergamot fragrances work amazing with my skin and this scent sounds like a must try! As always, a fantastic detailed review by Sebastian. Floris is an amazing house, but I have never tried any of their fragrances. Pick me! I am in the US.

  • Carlos Aguilar says:

    Sebastian is the quickest to review new fragrances, enjoy his straight to the point review. YES, aquatic and citrus fragrances work well where I live where it’s hot and very humid and no unfortunately I have not tried this house ….yet!

  • Edward Gurango says:

    I have a sample of Floris Santal which I’m thinking of doing a full bottle purchase. If I would win this bottle of Bergamot di Positano, that would certainly push me to get the Santal! I’m in L.A., CA, USA.

  • Sean321 says:

    This was a great review of Floris Bergamotto di Positano. Definitely love summer fragrances

  • cdb73110 says:

    Oh my gosh, yes please, party of one. I also have been loving bergamot dominate fragrances but once in a while I do like a different take on the note. I really enjoyed the description Sebastian gave. I can almost get a whiff of it especially the marine note where it sort of floats and doesn’t slam you in the face. As you mentioned it wanders into the gourmand territory and I think I love that aspect of it. Most of my bergamots tend to stay on the citrusy realm. I enjoy a good tea note too. Vanilla and amber remain in the end. I’m really getting antsy to try. Floris No 89 and Limes are the only ones I have tried in the line up to which I really liked. You had mentioned owing honey oud and leather as those are two that I would like as well. Thanks for a great review on Bergamot di Postiano. Certainly look forward to trying in the future. I love these reviews as it brings attention to fragrances I may not otherwise think about. Well done. In the USA. Off to bergamot dreams…ahhh.

    This is exactly what I have been looking for, Sebastian has helped me without him knowing to build my fragrance collection. He always give great advise and I look forward to trying this house through sample and hopefully winning this bottle.

  • DEMETRE says:

    Absolutely loved your description of this fantastic sounding liquid vacation. Pastries and Tea with the ocean in full view. Wow .Isn’t that just fantastic.? I wanna goooo! Maybe someday. Some where along the way….Thank you. Demetre I live in Troutdale Oregon, The gateway to the Gorge..A beautiful place!

  • Logan says:

    Hmm, bergamott and marine notes combo. Very interesting! Would be great to try this one out.

  • Paulie Peanuts says:

    Another solid review, and the description sounds very intriguing. Would love to try it. Paulie from NY, USA

  • Hikmat Sher Afridi says:

    I am not a fan of aquatic fragrances but Sebastian review is impressive and well described.
    I have only JF from the house of Floris & who know this may be the 2nd if I win, LOL. I would like to participate for the draw as this is limited edition & by giving my relative address residing in US.

  • Charles Montgomery says:

    As always Sebastian just out of the park with his thorough reviews .
    Very detailed explaining the notes to bergamotto. I like the fact that this is a recent favorit more.of his. I feel the same way. I’m really a n oud musk leather type fragrance wearer. I’ve recently been interested in findina a citrus type summer scent that I can go to at least a few times a week. Floris is a quality company from what little I know about them. I’ve tried samples of floris honey oud and leather out I really liked. I’d like to try more of their offerings. I appreciate it if you add me on this week’s draw. Thank you.

  • Richard Potter says:

    Great review, Sebastian! You make this sound amazing. I have not yet tried Floris but have been dying to try Honey Oud.

  • Alex Mera says:

    Juicy review for a juicy fragrance 🙂 I like as always , Sebastian’s dedication about his work to give us the perfect feedback. I can blind buy almost all the fragrances that Sebastian reccomends.
    Would love to try this beautifull fragrance on my skyn !
    I’m US based ! Good luck everybody !

  • Lola says:

    This post got my attention right away with the photo of Marilyn Monroe’s receipt for 6 bottles of perfume !
    I have white rose for years and it is a classic
    I enjoyed the idea of a fragrance that was like having tea and confections on a balcony in Positano
    I need to explore this House more

  • Maura says:

    Bergamotto di Positano sounds delightful and quite easy to wear
    Santal is a favorite of my husband. Now I want to try Rose Geranium too because like Lola it would be fascinating to know what Marilyn Monroe wore. I don’t know if I ever smelled a bergamot gourmand so I am very curious

  • Steve A says:

    This Bergamotto di Positano according to Sebastian has neroli in it but is much more with the vanilla and tea etc. I could like this a lot. As far as Floris goes I’m sad to say I have never worn any. I’m in the US.

  • Froogle_jimmy says:

    Im a sucker for Bergamot. I love that this fragrance seems to be different than the typical Bergamot frags on the market. I am a fan of unique/different blends. They keep me interested in the scent for longer. Seb once again does a great job of painting a picture of what this frag smells and feels like. Outsanding job Seb. Id love to get a bottle of this fragrance!!!

  • taffynteddy says:

    Thoroughly enjoyed the review, I enjoyed the breakdown of the notes especially your thoughts on what inspired the scent, loved imagining taking breakfast in my balcony hotel room in Di Positanno overlooking the sea while sipping on green tea and biting down on a tasty vanilla infused pastry.

  • concertslover says:

    Firstly, Bergamot is my favorite. I find it so interesting that he describes this as a fragrance that transitions from aquatic to gourmand, all while focused on bergamot, mandarin and green tea scents. This sounds like such an intriguing fragrance. I really look forward to trying this one out one day, This was an excellent video review, thank you very much.

  • Eric Dunthorne says:

    I like how genuine Sebastians is. He’s not flashy and doesn’t use a crazy persona he stays true to who he is. The information he puts out speeks for itself, no extra flare. That’s why he has credibility as a reviewer thus I trust in what he is saying. Bergamotto di Positano sounds so good I’d really love to win a bottle. I really appreciated the giveaway, Thanks.

  • lamonte says:

    Great review Sebastian,I own Floris leather oud and honey our but I would like to try this one!!!!!!

  • Donovan Reich says:

    First off I have to say Bergamot is one of my favorites refreshing notes in perfumery! I absolutely adore it! With the addition of a marine accord in the blend, as Sebastian mentioned, I find myself salivating. Sebastian does describe the character of the fragrance so well and with ease. His reviews are always honest and I appreciate that! Thanks for the giveaway!

  • Rosa says:

    Wow, sounds great! I’m not a big fan of aquatic scents but I love bergamote, so excited to try this one. My favorite Floris London is Pink Grapefruit.

    Thank you.

  • JenD says:

    I enjoyed the vision of the stay at the hotel; I could use a vacation like that! I definitely enjoy both bergamot and aquatic fragrances, so this has me very interested. I have not yet tried any Floris scents before. Thanks for the chance!

  • Diana Devlin says:

    As usual, Sebastian has me wanting to try a new fragrance because of his wonderful YouTube review! I have always wanted to try a Floris scent, but have not as of yet. I very much enjoy acquatic scents. They are very tranquil and soothing.

  • Xanovia says:

    Sebastian did a wonderful job as always… I really like this house and it sounds like something I would love to try out…

  • bhaffar says:

    Floris is a house I’d like to explore more and what’s always nice about Sebastian’s videos is that he gives me idea of fragrances to try. Thanks!

  • Salim Khattak says:

    I love to wear fresh, sea breeze, lemony & bergamot fragrances as I belong to a place which is always warm like tropical. The notes are intriguing and perfect.
    Great review by Sebastian Jara and well described.
    Never smelled any of the fragrance from the house of FLORIS but I would love to get a bottle of this fragrance.
    Thanks for the draw

  • Lori L says:

    As usual, Sebastian has me wanting to run out to get my hands on a bottle of a new fragrance. I love bergamot and aquatics, so this sounds quite lovely! I’ve had the chance to sample Floris fragrances while in London and all of them were excellent. Patchouli, Honey Oud and Souelle Ambar are my current favorites. There are many, many more in the line that I want to explore. I live in the US and thanks for the draw! 🙂

  • David says:

    I love how Sebastain said wearing this is like being on the balcony of a hotel in Positano when your room serves breakfast order of tea and pastry arrives. I’m not a big acquatic fan, so I’d appreciate the gourmand aspect of this fragrance.
    I’ve never tried a fragrance from this line, but I’ve always wanted to try their Mahon Leather.
    I’m in the USA.

  • akashsriv1 says:

    Bergamot, Green Tea, little salty, aquatic….really sounds like a great scent! Fantastic review by Sebastian.
    Hope to win the full bottle giveaway!
