There are certain scents that feel like a change of season.
The first warm morning when the windows are finally thrown open. A breeze carrying the fresh outdoorsy smell through the house - clean, uplifting, and full of promise.
That feeling is exactly what inspired Bergamot & Ginger, our new fragrance created to welcome spring and summer with effortless, Mediterranean ease.
A fragrance that opens like a Mediterranean morning
Bergamot & Ginger begins with a fresh, sun-drenched burst of bergamot and lemon - crisp and sparkling, like the first sip of something chilled on a terrace overlooking the sea.
Then, as the brightness softens, the heart of the fragrance reveals itself: airy aldehydes, delicate white blossoms, and soft musks that feel light on the skin - elegant, luminous, and quietly romantic.
Finally, the base settles into something warmer and more intimate. Precious woods bring depth and calm, while a gentle glow of ginger lingers underneath - grounding the fragrance with that comforting, golden warmth that recalls late summer evenings as the sun begins to fade.
Why we love it (and how to wear it)
Bergamot & Ginger is designed to be beautifully versatile - the kind of scent that feels right from morning to evening.
- For daytime: fresh, clean and uplifting - perfect with linen, bare arms, and a light-hearted mood.
- For evenings: the woods and ginger emerge more fully, giving a soft richness that feels close and personal.
It’s a fragrance for anyone who loves scents that are bright but not sharp, warm but not heavy, and always memorable and evocative.
Made in Northumberland, with a French & Wilder spirit
We’re proud that Bergamot & Ginger is lovingly created in Northumberland by Lilac & Thyme for French & Wilder.
It’s a little piece of Mediterranean-inspired escapism, crafted close to home - blending our love of French style and storytelling with the artistry of local makers.
A limited t-shirt collection to celebrate the launch
To mark the arrival of Bergamot & Ginger, we’re also releasing a limited edition run of fragrance-inspired t-shirts - designed as wearable artwork, with a beautifully illustrated, vintage-style label design.
If you love the idea of collecting pieces that feel très français (and a little bit unexpected), these are made for you.
The perfume and t-shirts will be available straight after Easter — keep an eye on the website and in-store for the official release.
