Great fragrance with incorrect name
Yesterday I received my blind buy Bergamask. I am always very excited about fragrances from Alessandro Gualtieri, but so far none of his fragrances have managed to land in my collection permanently, or to get beyond a bottling. My hope was that Bergamask could do just that. My problem with Alessandro Gualtieri fragrances until now was often this extreme synthetic or even a very strong animalic.

I would like to go now briefly on my opinion of the name Bergamask, because I find this not well chosen. A fresh component there is of course in Bergamask, but I find this has almost nothing in common with a bergamot except to trigger a feeling of freshness. Here I can only say the name just does not fit at all.

Bergamask is for me a synthetic fragrance, who does not like that should already take the legs in hand and run, because the synthetic is omnipresent here. I think that Bergamask also contains natural substances such as orange oil, which also creates this feeling of freshness, but this orange note never really appears. I am of the opinion here that orange oil was used for the fresh top note. After about 10 minutes, the fresh already increasingly retreats and gives the stage to the synthetic. I am 100% sure that a lot of Javanol is used here, which is supposed to create a woody smell, especially the smell of sandalwood. The next very dominant note is clearly musk, which has also been used in excess here. After a little over an hour, Bergamask is a sandalwood and musk bomb with occasional fresh breezes, which come out ever so slightly from the top note.

I've always felt with Bergamask that, like Fantomas, Alessandro Gualtieri has deliberately made the fragrance synthetically unhinged, that the scent keeps bouncing around between notes but never finds a proper progression. Bergamask is the complete opposite of Roja, for example, where the separation of top note, heart note and base note has top priority, as well as the gentle sliding into each other of the different levels. Bergmask is planned chaos in the bottle, there is simply no structure here except for a briefly normal-looking top note. Bergamask is fascinating dissonance in a flacon a fragrance without rules and typical structure.
I oscillate with Bergamaks permanently between extreme fascination and hatred, sometimes blows me again a breath of Bergamask where I think to myself just madly great and already 20 minutes later I think at the next breath Bergamask igitt, wash off immediately. It is a fragrance, which permanently roller coaster rides with the sensations of the wearer.

Bergamask has definitely now earned a place in my collection, because this fragrance manages to fascinate and excite me like hardly any other fragrance. Previously, I have experienced it with no perfume that my impressions change so much when wearing. Alone already therefore I would like to own Bergamask.

Bergamask is for me, nevertheless, the most accessible fragrance of Orto Parisi, it is not so difficult to like this, or to wear.

The durability is really extreme like all fragrances of the brand, this is of course also due to the synthetic, which was used here generously. I can smell Bergamask without problems 16 hours on my skin. The silage I find with a little over an arm's length even relatively weak for the brand, which is not bad for me. Bergamask holds this silage for about 9-10 hours before the fragrance then slowly becomes skin tight.

As a tip: Washes after spraying Bergamask the hands otherwise you have constantly the smell of the metal lid on the hands and smells this again and again. Therefore, there is from me also 3 points deduction for the bottle, because I find this somewhat annoying.

Summer hunting
Orto Parisi - The vegetable garden of grandpa Parisi. The second project Alessandro Gualtieris and how can it be otherwise, it is again incredibly thoughtful, creatively designed and elaborately processed.

Let's start with the fragrance. Bergamask was my first Orto Parisi. Bluntly thought one thinks it is a fragrance of bergamot and musk - end. The is with Nichten so.
It is indeed a citrus fragrance, but this is not a bright bergamot, but an overripe lemon that smells slightly bitter. At the same time you get a big load of musk (bright) and in the background you still discover woods(cedar?) and flowers (lavender, orange blossom ?). All in all, a great spring and summer fragrance with great radiance and durability.
So the recession could end, but not with fragrances from Nasomatto or Orto Parisi. There is more to it everywhere and things seem different after the story than before.

When you consider that Vincenzo Parisi (Alessandro's grandpa) was a butcher by trade, you wonder what is meant by garden. A garden where you use all your senses, smell flowers and grasses, feel, eat fruits, herbs and vegetables.
Orto Parisi's credo: Wherever bodily fluids come out, the soul comes out. Fluids in the butcher shop? Now with the background knowledge that it is a butcher shop / butchery, the picture turns once completely.
It is about a hunter who fails, who is too afraid (Brutus). It is about hunting and rushing the prey (Bergamask). The multiplying (Seminalis). It is about cutting, washing and curing the meat (Megamare), grilling or smoking (Terroni), and eating (Boccanera) and excreting (Stercus).

Hunter - wooden rifle - wooden emblem in the cap. The hunt - horn of a fallow deer / deer - bright horn in the cap. Smoking - coal - volcanic stone in the cap, you understand what I'm getting at...
Glass bottles, metal caps with emblem, packaging that you have to open 4 times, fragrance color to match the theme. It's all coherent again.

All Alessandro Gualtiere revealed fragrance notes is that all Parisis contain Boya Butter and Pisse de Chevalle.

With knowledge, Bergamask (named after a folk festival of the city of Bergamo) is about hunting, adrenaline in the blood, fear pee, sweat from exertion.
This good-smelling fragrance now makes a lot more sense!

Extra tip: At extremely hot temperatures necessarily wear. Since it shines even more and the musk combines really well with your own body odor - no fun!

Me Alessandro has again directly on the hook. Pure art!

Familiar complexity
Bergamask to understand is really not easy; it seems to disappear sometimes only to come back half an hour later even stronger. May well be due to the Javanol, which is also not perceptible to everyone, so at least my experience. This "flacker" effect already led to short-term disappointment to have bought here after extensive testing. But really only briefly.

At the beginning is a floral bouquet, definitely lavender, white flowers and perhaps also something very dry rose. Plus waxy zest of various citrus fruits, not just bergamot but also kumquat. The floral is replaced by sweet wood that lingers. I only became aware of the familiar Gualtieri musk like this on a tester after it had been lying open on my desk for a week. On the skin, other notes always accompany this familiar accord. Just this animalic makes Bergamask for me.

Overall, a beautiful and unique fragrance, especially in the summer. At temperatures above 25 ° Bergamask literally explodes and is full in the air, especially in the first hours. Which is not to say that it is then no longer there: it becomes softer, woodier as it progresses. Used in the afternoon, Bergamask easily lasts until the next morning. No unpleasant notes, not too intrusive, and still strong sillage and longevity. An Orto Parisi that you can wear for yourself and for others.

For me, the most beautiful Gualtieris fragrances that merge with me as perfumes I wear. This also includes this one

Love hate : Bergamask
Orto Parisi - Alessandro Gualtieri, a master of his craft and a master at putting together fragrances that polarize.

Bergamask is also a fragrance that polarizes.

I was recently in a Munich club and already when entering the rather large dance floor I perceived a very pleasant warm scent, he has filled the whole room, although many people have danced sweaty next to each other, fog machines are running throughout, etc.
The scent was always present but never intrusive perceptible. When I walked through the people, I passed a friend and now I knew where the scent came from. I asked him directly what a blatant fragrance he wears there please?! Orto Parisi Bergamask!

I have the fragrance all night until the early morning extremely perceived, yes you have him literally already smelled around the corner.

I had to order the fragrance immediately, of course.

Of course I know that a perfume does not smell the same with everyone, nevertheless, I was very excited about the fragrance.
When I got him and tested at home, I was no longer so enthusiastic, I felt him as quite citrusy and nowhere near as warm as my friend.

But well, some fragrances need time,
After the drydown, which takes a bit longer for this strong fragrance, the notes unfolded that I smelled that night in question. The initial very citrus, of which I'm actually not a big fan, develops into a very pleasant musk lastigen animalic smell, which radiates a nice warm.

It is not a fragrance that is well received everywhere, even I lead a love-hate relationship with him, there are days I have to smell again and again on my wrist but also times days where I regret it to have used him because he projects so extremely and that can sometimes be too much of a good thing

Lemon groves under the burning Italian sun
Crickets chirping, rays of sunlight penetrating the sparse canopy of gnarled olive trees, the view into the distance where the sea blurs with the azure sky, the bone-dry, stony ground beneath you. The scent of lemon groves mingles with your own sweat under the glistening heat - the result: bergamask.

It is Bergamask by no means a sweet, no much more a sour lemon scent. The freshness of the lemon is complemented by a woody, earthy, almost sweaty musk component, which makes the perfume very elegant and gives it depth. In the drydown, this musk note strengthens, it becomes increasingly stronger and displaces the lemon, but never to 100%.

Bergamask is hardly comparable to other fresh fragrances, because the lemon freshness is permanently accompanied by the heaviness of the musk. Sillage and durability are unbeatable, no question.

In my opinion, the ideal summer fragrance for those who like lemon, earth, wood and musk and are looking for a unique fresh fragrance that still has the necessary depth and elegance.
