Laboratorio Olfattivo Bergamotto is a Cologne launched in 2021, created by Jean-Claude Ellena. Bergamotto opens with Bergamot, Bitter Orange, and Cardamom, and dries down to a base of Musk. Laboratorio Olfattivo's Bergamotto carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

This is a truly gorgeous bergamot that's been stripped of all pretension, creating an airy, refined citrus experience. Just don't expect it to last longer than a particularly good cup of tea - its fleeting nature is its biggest flaw, and for some, it's a dealbreaker.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Summer
Also Works:
Spring

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its intentionally subtle, close-to-skin performance makes it perfect for office wear or casual outings, where its presence won't overwhelm. However, its poor longevity and minimal sillage mean it won't make an impact on a date or formal event, limiting its suitability for those occasions.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Bitter Orange
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Imagine the purest essence of bergamot, bright and sparkling, not sugary, but with a natural sweetness. It's quickly joined by a whisper of cardamom, adding a delicate, almost leafy green spice, and a tangy hint of bitter orange. The whole composition floats on a bed of transparent musk, giving it an ethereal, hazy quality that feels effortlessly clean and subtle, like a second skin.
