Perfect, so glad you got some! Much cheaper to buy the estagnon in the long run.

Hi Robin, thank you for your reply. I have bought the Estagnon refilling bottle from The Different Comapny. It did come with a spray. Works well itself. No need to pour into the chrystal bottle if prefer. Really enjoy for blog. I have learned a lot ! Thank you.

Yes, the 90 ml is refillable. I don’t know anything about the Estagnon though…didn’t even know it had a spray.

I really would like to know if the 90ml botlle is refillable ? and what do you thinik of the refill estagnon bottle ? did it work well as a spray ? Thanks so much for your help. The Different Company Osmanthus is one of my favorite.

Oopsy daisy. You wanted NOT green!!! I guess we can just turn around and scratch that little suggestion of mine. Sorry 'bout that!

Also, the discontinued DKNY, called just exactly that, in the tall, white frosted bottle, has orange and tomato leaf, so it's very, very green and crisp. Nice stuff. Might be what you're looking for. I've seen it around, so it's still selling through out there. . .good luck!

Just popped into my head — Santa Maria Novella Eva, also a unisex so don't let the name bother you, might be perfect.

Bergamot is VERY widely used as a top note. There are so many scents that open with a “huge blast of bergamot” that I couldn't possibly list them all. For scents that center on bergamot/orange blossom/neroli, you might try Czech & Speake Neroli, MPG Eau Pour Le Jeune Homme (spicy), Le Labo Bergamote (also spicy), Santa Maria Novella Queen's Cologne (entirely unisex), L'Artisan Fleur d'Oranger (also unisex). It's late, guessing other things will pop into my mind later.

For a law firm/golf course vetiver, try Paul Smith Story or the old classic, Guerlain Vetiver.

Hope that helps, and will see if I can think of more tomorrow morning after I've had some caffeine

Sorry, I haven't tried either of those. I should have been more specific – I basically want an opening exactly like that of TDC's Bergamote, with a huge blast of bergamot. I'm still exploring my options for summer scents, so I'm not sure what types are out there. I did try Un Jardin en Mediterranee today and I like it much better than Nil. Let's see… two of my current FBW faves are Gris Clair and Daim Blond – maybe something with lavender or apricot? Being an Armani Code fan, I do quite like Vetiver Tonka, so maybe vetiver might also fit the bill. I've also tried L'Artisan Jatamansi, though only on paper, and I liked it as well.

As a final consideration, I should probably note that I'll be working at a law firm over the summer, so my chosen scent would need to be something that wouldn't be likely to offend anyone, or seem overtly feminine (read: floral or fruity). If it works on the golf course too, that would be a bonus.

There are so many not-green citrus scents that it's hard to know where to start. Have you tried Annick Goutal's Eau d'Hadrien or Eau du Sud? Or can you be a little more specific about what you're looking for?
