Bergamotto Eau de Cologne
Details
An olfactory love:
“Although citrus fruits mostly originate from China, bergamot is Italian. It is a pity that no one knows who created it by crossing a lemon tree with a bitter orange. This inventor would have deserved an honour, like Mr Clément, who invented the clementine.
Italian merchants succeeded in selling bergamot on the Chinese market, thereby bringing it to international prominence.
I am often asked whether I have olfactory preferences. Yes, I have preferences, and they change with my needs and my longings. There are fleeting loves and there are firm, enduring ones – and among the latter is my love for bergamot. It was time to make that official.” – Jean-Claude Ellena
