Essential Parfums Nice Bergamote Eau de Parfum (sample)

Bergamot is a hybrid of sweet orange and lemon, known for its exceptionally distinctive citrus aroma that is vibrant, fresh, and at times even slightly tart. It blends beautifully with a wide array of fragrance notes, making it a favorite among olfactory artists. It is for this reason that Antoine Maisondieu dedicated the unisex composition Nice Bergamote, created for the Essential Parfums brand, to this remarkable fruit.

The fragrance opens with a solo burst of fresh citrusy bergamot—rich, restrained, and cool. Here, its full depth, multi-faceted nature, and dimensionality are revealed.

Gradually, at the heart of the composition, it becomes more delicate, refined, and elegant, owing to the honeyed oriental jasmine and sweet, candy-like ylang-ylang notes.

The fragrance trail is adorned with woody and piney passages of majestic cedar and vanilla-cherry nuances of tonka beans.
