Bergamask Orto Parisi 2014

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.
