Bergamask

by Alessandro Gualtieri

Orto Parisi Bergamask is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014, created by Alessandro Gualtieri. The fragrance opens with Bergamot and Lemon, settles into a heart of Lavender, Lily Of The Valley, and Orange Blossom, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, and Tonka Bean.

Our verdict on Bergamask: Acquired

Bergamask is a nuclear citrus and musk bomb that ignites fierce debate. It's either an addictive, masterful blend of clean sweat and sharp bergamot, or a synthetic headache-inducing scrubber that never quits. This isn't for the faint of heart, or those sensitive to powerful musks.

Given its 'nuclear' projection and longevity, Bergamask is too much for an office setting, but perfect for making a bold statement on a date or for casual wear. The clean-but-dirty musk and citrus profile makes it surprisingly versatile for hot weather and active settings, yet its sheer power might overwhelm formal events.

About

This is a riotous blast of bergamot and lemon up front, bright and almost photorealistic, like peeling an orange or lemon cake. As it settles, a clean, slightly powdery lavender and lily of the valley emerge, but the true star of the show is the muscular, animalic musk in the base. It gives a raw, sensual edge, complemented by a subtle cedar and tonka bean warmth that lingers for hours, often picking up a 'clean human sweat' or even a 'lemon cleaner' quality depending on who you ask.
