Perris Monte Carlo Bergamotto di Calabria is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Luca Maffei and Gian Luca Perris. Bergamotto di Calabria opens with Bergamot, Petitgrain, Pepper, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Neroli, Orange Blossom, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Vetiver, and Iris. Perris Monte Carlo's Bergamotto di Calabria carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This one's a proper debate-starter. Some reckon this is an unparalleled bergamot masterpiece, bursting with fizz. Others find the pepper far too aggressive, leading to an off-putting vinegary tang. A Marmite fragrance, if ever there was one.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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:
Spring Summer

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its fresh and clean profile makes it ideal for casual wear, office environments, and sports where a light, invigorating scent is preferred. However, its poor longevity and projection mean it's not a go-to for dates or formal events where greater presence is desired.

About

It kicks off with a sharp, juicy blast of bergamot, brightened by petitgrain and a distinct, almost fizzy pink pepper. That spicy kick mellows into a heart of delicate white florals, where jasmine, orange blossom, and neroli offer a hint of sweetness. The dry-down settles into a comforting base of clean musk, earthy vetiver, and creamy sandalwood, with a powdery touch of iris.
