Bergamask Orto Parisi 2014

Although I haven't really warmed to Orto Parisi's fragrances, Bergamask has completely won me over and has become an indispensable part of my collection. In the opening, it almost overwhelms you with its citrus, which always reminds me of the smell of an orange-lemon magnesium effervescent tablet dissolving in water. It takes me straight back to my childhood, which made the fragrance feel special to me right away. At the same time, that often-described "sweaty" musk comes through, making the fragrance a little more masculine in my opinion. Gualtieri describes this combination of citrus and animalic notes as "the cycle of life, shaped by attraction and repulsion"... very artistic and niche. Overall, though, it stays fairly linear.

Although the fragrance is, as described, very niche, it's highly wearable and versatile when applied in the right amount. It works for the office as well as special occasions, and in every season.
Longevity and sillage are truly enormous, and it creates a veritable "scent bubble" around you, which is always positively received by those around me and always considered pleasant. The fragrance lasts for about 2 wash cycles on clothing...

The price-performance ratio is entirely fair for what you get, and as soon as my bottle is empty, I'll order another one right away, since this fragrance, as mentioned at the beginning, has become an indispensable part of my collection.
