Olfactory Laboratory Bergamot Eau de Cologne Unisex 100 ml

Laboratorio Olfattivo Bergamotto EDC 100 ml is a citrus eau de cologne for men and women. Master perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena, inspired by his love for Italy, has created for Laboratorio Olfattivo a collection called “Viaggio in Italia by Jean-Claude Ellena,” whose three stops are: Mandarin, Lemon, and Bergamot, representations of the typically Italian joy of living and good humor. Perfumes that are like “a ray of sunshine on a typically winter day.” “If other citrus fruits originate from China, Bergamot, on the other hand, is Italian. It is truly a shame not to know the creator of its birth, the one who crossed a Lemon tree with a bitter Orange tree: he could have received the same tribute as his colleague Clément, who invented the clementine. Italian merchants ended up selling Bergamot to the Chinese to flavor their second-choice tea, which they then resold to the English. I am often asked if I have olfactory preferences. I have always said no, wanting to hide the manipulations I perform on scents, since the work of a perfumer is very similar to that of an illusionist. Well yes, I do have preferences and they vary according to my needs, my desires. I experience passing loves, but also strong and lasting loves, to the point that I am very attached to Bergamot. It was time I made this bond official.” Jean-Claude Ellena
