SOTD: ORTO PARISI BERGAMASK

Today I’m wearing Bergamask. This is citrus with some attitude, a sharp, bitter bergamot character sitting over a substantial musky base.

The citrus brings brightness, but the musk gives it that slightly dirty, animalic character. Together, they create something fresh with a raw edge. There’s a push and pull between the two that makes this more interesting than a straightforward citrus fragrance.

Spring and fall are a good fit, along with summer evenings. I’d reach for it for a day out or a casual evening when I want something fresh with a little more character.

Bergamask is a good example of Alessandro Gualtieri’s approach to fragrance. Familiar scent ideas, taken somewhere a little unusual and that’s part of the appeal of exploring houses like Orto Parisi.

Bergamask has a reputation for strong projection, a noticeable scent trail, and long wear especially on clothing. This is one I’d start with a couple of sprays and adjust from there. Fresh citrus doesn’t always mean light performance.

Projection: 2-3 Feet

Sillage; 2 feet

Longevity: 10-12 Hours
