Gualtieri's Fauxgere

Let me start by saying that I am a bit bamboozled by the marketing tricks played by Gualtieri here.
The naming would suggest that Bergamask is somehow linked to Northern Italy, perhaps in contrast to Terroni (do your research)... but no, Bergamask is a simple portmanteau between "Bergamot" + "Musc". So definitely more of a reference to a specific region of Southern Italy, which produces 95% of these lemons globally (more research required).
Anyway, some people - mainly on Trollgrantica - get bored of my essays so I will stop here.

Putting the naming hysterics to bed, it feels like Gualtieri played another trick, this time with the perfume composition. If you read between the lines, this is a fougere with all its typical notes... but they are all skewed and twisted up. The result is a very realistic and strong opening of bitter bergamot with a tinge of soapiness (lasting around 15 minutes).
After the first hour, the scent evolves progressively into a musc & florals (i.e. lavender) combo that slowly fades into the oblivion.

If you are looking for a lemony scent, I absolutely get the comparison with Casamorati - Fiero. The lemongrass in Casamorati's fragrance stays for longer and makes it more gentlemanly, whilst in Bergamask you'll find a marked muskiness which links it to an ungentlemanly and raw vibe. Raw as Bergamask bottle cap top.

Overall, Bergamask fits well into Orto Parisi's repertoire. It is not redundant to Risvelium (which is a very different beast), but it is relatively simple.
As others mentioned, the performance is there. I tested it at 25-30 C, and after 12 hours it was still present as a clearly discernible skin scent.

Natural bergamot with simple support

Bergamask is a simple fragrance, as I perceive it, of only 2 or 3 notes. The natural bergamot note is done so well that the rest of the fragrance doesn't need to add complexity, just support it. Sharp, bitter, and punchy, this is not a soapy bergamot, or the soft bergamot of Earl Grey tea, it's like peeling and cutting into a fresh bergamot right from the tree. Smooth and soft cedar and musks support this excellent accord, giving it very long longevity. Even though it is simple, it is actually quite unique, but pleasant. As with most Gualtieri compositions, the performance is phenomenal. Solid banger for spring/summer warmer weather!

A synthetic animal

I'm at a loss at the moment talking about Bergamask from Orto Parisi. I paid a few bucks for this fragrance and when I smelled it for the first time I wasn't wowed. Not at all and after a few more wears I'm STILL not. I mean it's not terrible but I've smelled better. This animalic themed fragrance with a hit of Bergamot is a most unusual scent that lasts a decent amount of time on the skin. There's also a big hit of synthetics that unfortunately last a good while while everything else fades. The look of the bottle is cool and the juice is a nice shade of orange. This Parfum is a nice addition to my vast collection and it is very classy. It's a Niche perfume house so I'm not surprised at the overall makeup of the fragrance. But to my great surprise is the almost non stop/constant compliments I receive every time I spray it on. I did not expect so much traffic over this fragrance and so far this particular scent has garnered easily the most positive comments. More so than any other fragrance I own and my collection is nearing 400 bottles!! I'm not sure what it is about Bergamask that people notice but I'll say this. Every time I get a positive comment from someone it really makes me feel good inside and I never get tired of it. When I tell people what I'm wearing they all say the same thing...Never heard of it! Lol They all want to get some for their boyfriends/husbands and i simply point them to ebay. One more thing. Even though I always get compliments from the Olfactory public it's not enough to make me wear this unusual fragrance more than only a few times a month if that but whenever I do wear it I know I'm probably going to have a pretty good day. :)

Citrus-y and woody powerhouse

Bergamask is a pretty good freshie which would really shine in summer. The citrus here is slightly dirty as is the entire fragrance. Even when it dries down and and the citrus disappears, there's still a great dirty-musky component to it.

Even though its longevity is great, the citrus unfortunately does not last very long and is replaced by a woody-spicy accord. Comparing it by memory to Fiero, which I have and used last summer, I think the citrus lasted longer with Fiero but it is not as dirty as in Bergamask. For the overall scent, though, I'd say Bergamask has the better longevity. Projection was pretty good for the first couple of hours.

I can definitely recommend Bergamask if you are looking for a masculine citrus freshie for summer. I like Fiero better because the citrus stays around longer and will stick with it. For other guys, I suggest you sample both before deciding.

My Sweden vacation

Every summer, I spend my vacation in Sweden. Ever since my first trip, I’ve had one problem: my perfumes never lasted long enough to keep me smelling fresh in the heat. So in the summer of 2024, decided to finally change that.

I had a vision I would find me one that lasts longer and is still fresh and perfect for the summer. One day, I ended up in this niche perfumery - and I mean niche of the niches where they literately had so much, it was a vibe.

Then I saw a perfume I remembered seeing praised online by so many people. So I gave it a try. And wow I was amazed how great it smelled. It had bergamot, some fresh Zitrus notes, and that typical Orto Parisi signature.
If You know, You know— but not in a bad way. It’s got this animalic power, but done in a fresh way. Not too much, just the perfect balance.

Throughout the day, I kept smelling it –it just wouldn’t fade away. At the time, I was wearing my leather-banded watch, and I had sprayed the perfume on the leather. It was AWESOME I literally still smelled it on the band a month later – and the scent, combined with the leather, was just perfect.

I had bought the perfume two months before my vacation, and I held myself back from wearing it until I was in Sweden. But trust me — it was worth it.

I had the best time with this perfume that summer. I stayed in a house by a lake, right in the middle of nature. We had a sauna there too. And all the smells combined, that wood from the sauna, the freshness from the lake, the nature everything is in this perfume.

I’m smelling it right now as I write this review, and every time I do, it takes me straight back.
