Wonderful Winter Scent - BSQ Natural Couture Bergamot Noir

BSQ Natural Couture Bergamot Noir 30ml RRP £25


As most of you will already know, the Bsq. Natural Couture collection is a range of fragrances and body care products produced in collaboration with the Victoria and Albert Museum, inspired by the work of renowned fifties fashion photographer John French, which depicts the elegant Golden Age of Couture. And, as the Natural part of the name would suggest, BSQ products contain no mineral oils, SLES, artificial colours or synthetic ethanol perfume bases. This autumn, the collaboration has been added to by the RNIB (Royal National Institute of the Blind) and has seen the launch of Bergamot Noir, which takes BSQ's award winning White Bergamot as its base and adds a musky, womanly touch. The scent is still light and a little bit brittle, as one would expect with a bergamot base, but with the softness of neroli and the warmth of amber and orange blossom showing through to create a more grounded fragrance. For the launch of Bergamot Noir BSQ and the RNIB commissioned a group of eminent blind and partially sighted artists to create artworks, taking the fragrance as inspiration and staged the Scents and Sensibility exhibition, the proceeds of will be donated to the RNIB. 
* Top notes: Bergamot, Mandarin, Neroli
