July 11, 2026 Fragrance Haul

A) Jean Rish Bergamot Intense

Price: $40 (website- sold out)

Purchase Price: $14.29

Company was founded with the belief that luxury should be expressive and accessible, creating fragrances that don’t just smell good — they have something to state.

They proudly make their products in the US, locally formulating and sourcing their materials with the idea that fragrances tell a story. They’re designed to be worn, remembered, and loved. It’s luxury rooted in care, precision and authenticity.

Fresh Bergamot with hints of Lemon and Mandarin, balanced by Orange Blossom, Lavender, and Rosemary. The scent settles into Patchouli, Cedarwood, and Amber, creating a clean yet powerful fragrance for the modern man.

TOP NOTES – Bergamot, Ginger, Cardamom
MIDDLE NOTES – Orange Blossom, Warm Wood
BASE NOTES – Patchouli, Vanilla bourbon
LONG LASTING – Crafted as an Eau de Parfum (EDP), Jean Rish impresses with a rich scent that lasts up to 6 hours, all wrapped in packaging as stylish as it is timeless.

Scent: Bright and citrusy

Fragrance Setting: A cool, but warm Summer evening wear.

Sillage: 6-7 hrs

B) Hopificio Firenze Oriental Wood

Price: $47 (website- eBay & Mercari)

Purchase Price: $14.29

Created by an Italian fragrance house, the fragrance has been compared to Initio Side Effect and Bvlgari Black. It’s a smoky, velvety concoction of sandalwood, vetiver, and patchouli. I don’t have bottom, heart, or top notes unfortunately.

Scent: Warm and woodsy

Fragrance Setting: A cool evening wear.

Sillage: 5-7 hrs

There isn’t much online regarding both of these fragrances, but my experience with them is enjoyable in fragrance and sillage. These were great and solid blond buys, saving roughly $60 for both. Currently enjoying Bergamot Intense as I head out to a friend’s home for some long overdue camaraderie.

For your consideration, Jean Rush Bergamot Intense and Hopificio Firenze’s Oriental Wood. As usual, your sillage may vary, fragrance discretion is advised.
