An ode to love and the floral poetry of the month of May, this relaxing elixir brings harmony, peace and sunshine to the heart.
Perfumer: Mathieu Nardin
"My grandparents, producers of Rose de Mai in Grasse, were passionate about this flower with its fresh and intoxicating scent. As a child, I would get up at dawn during the harvest season to help them pick them. Feminine and sensual, the Rose is the emblem of femininity. It is this fusion between the freshness of the Rose and its suave trail that is transcribed in Bergamote & Rose. Bergamot brings this sparkling facet while the Rose de Mai reveals all the voluptuousness of its essence."
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
For a morning that leaves room to pause: an open window, flowers being trimmed, conversation within arm’s reach. The bright citrus and soft rose suggest an unhurried, welcoming presence, with the lightness of a cologne rather than the weight of a formal floral perfume.
How to wear
A natural fit for spring and mild summer days, when the citrus lift and fresh rose can feel especially welcome. Start with two or three sprays on the neck and forearms for a light floral presence. Its eau de cologne format and light intensity favour gentle application, refreshed as desired rather than a heavy initial dose.
Who it’s for
For those who enjoy rose with a bright citrus edge rather than a dense, opulent treatment. It suits a taste for light floral colognes, gentle sweetness and understated fragrance that does not dominate a shared space.

The nose
Mathieu Nardin is a Grasse-born perfumer associated with Robertet, whose work combines an affinity for natural materials with a contemporary approach to floral composition. His creations include Miller Harris Scherzo. For Rose & Bergamote, he drew on childhood memories of harvesting roses with his grandparents, pairing the flower’s fresh, supple character with bergamot’s sparkle.
100BON’s story
100BON approaches French perfumery with an emphasis on accessibility, natural-origin ingredients and creative freedom for perfumers. The house prioritises the fragrance over elaborate packaging, pairing straightforward compositions with refillable formats and a less intimidating approach to choosing scent.
Rose & Bergamote’s concept
The fragrance’s inspiration lies in Mathieu Nardin’s childhood in Grasse, where he helped his grandparents pick Rose de Mai at dawn. His intention was to capture both the flower’s freshness and its softly sensual trail, with bergamot adding a sparkling contrast. Historical listings connect it with the earlier name Bergamote & Rose Sauvage.
Extra info
The current eau de cologne is listed at 99% natural origin. Beyond its namesake bergamot and rose, the official note pyramid includes litsea cubeba, geranium, cherry blossom and vanilla.
