Bonica Scent Memory: Brave Bergamot

Brave Bergamot came to life during a season when I was quietly carving a new path for myself, chasing a dream that felt both exciting and uncertain. I made it for anyone who finds themselves in that same space, wondering what’s next.

The inspiration struck in the South of France, when I stepped away from my ordinary routines and allowed myself to just be — a wanderer, a traveler, sitting with a cup of tea on a sunlit terrace. That quiet pause gave me the space to look inward, to see my own visions more clearly. Sometimes, you need to take a sip, watch the light shift, and simply breathe.

This scent carries that feeling: bergamot and lemon zest for clarity, green tea for stillness, oakmoss and vetiver for grounding. It’s bright yet composed — like a fresh page waiting for your first words.

Whether you’re starting something new, reimagining your path, or simply giving yourself a moment to pause, I hope Brave Bergamot is your companion in finding calm courage to step forward.
