About this deal

Bergamot oil is a richly multi-faceted material, presenting bright, lemony, aldehydic notes at its top, as well as darker, woodier, spicier elements in its base. It is the entirety of the oil’s character that Demachy has attempted to present here, by and large with great success. The natural sweetness of bergamot’s opening has been enhanced with mandarin, its sour quality has been bolstered by grapefruit and its suave base has been enhanced with cedar wood and, of course, the brash elements mentioned above. They all come together to produce a portrait quite different from that seen in the original Bergamotto Di Calabria. That release was all about the fleeting, exuberant facets of bergamot: its most stereotypically citrusy aspects. But this Spugnatura limited edition delves further, making a convincing argument for the wholeness of bergamot as a perfume in itself. This Blu Mediterraneo fragrance, would be one that I could wear outdoors, on a sunny day and completely enjoy. BdC starts fresh, very simple. With, the inclined reader will already suspect it with bergamot. This does in combination with lemon an outstanding job. And when I trust my nose, it extends from the head to the heart to the base note. That's class, no question. In the dry-down the fragrance then becomes slightly woody and a pinch of vetiver is added. I find this mixing extremely successful. A summer fragrance par excellence. I like Cedro di Taormina from the blu mediterraneo series equally well, which is why both of them joined me.

So one might advise anyone loosely based on Friedrich Nietzsche's "Also sprach Zarathustra" who is planning a trip to southern Italy. Whether the flight goes to Naples on the Amalfi Coast, to Lamezia Therme in Calabria or to Catania in Sicily, a standard lemon from a German discount grocery store should always be carried by every traveler to these regions. Because such a thing, which one gets to buy with us, one will get there rather not to eyes. I advise to visit local markets. Or take a trip in a rental car over the country and then stop on narrow country roads to see what small farmers are growing on their fields. You've never seen anything like it, you can't even put a name to it. Size, colors, smells, flavors, structures of the peels, everything. And our discount lemons will be bought afterwards only out of pure embarrassment. Is so. The opening of Bergamotto di Calabria has an excellent citrus aroma. I think that it’s one of the freshest and least chemical smelling citrus notes, that I’ve come across. It is bold and definitely has a distinct citron tartness to it. The bottle: the typical AdP shape, but with an intense, sensational blue tone that evokes associations between noble, relaxed, casual and high quality. There's nothing to complain about.

Acqua Di Parma Bergamotto Di Calabria La Spugnatura review based on a sample provided by the brand in 2021.] Blue bottles stand per se in most cases for fresh fragrances, which makes it easier to find your way around. If they then still come in the retro pharmacist design and are named after Italian resorts, this is of course a marketing ploy that pulls quite. One should not forget that Acqua di Parma belongs 100% to the largest luxury goods company in the world: LVMH I must say that ADP has created a very good fragrance for the very hot days of the year. Since you don't roam around outside too much in very high temperatures, you can easily overlook the meagre shelf life.

The fragrance is definitely best for the really hot summer days. But since I bought this one, I can't stop wearing it. Some companies sometimes give their fragrances completely abstruse names. This one sums up everything you need to know. Italian bergamot. Point taken. Sometimes life can be very simple. Sillage: difficult depending on the dosage of course, strong at first, but just as strong but decreasing. What for a summer scent does not have to be necessarily negative, therefore from me here also no point deduction. A lot has been written about durability and this is often the big point of criticism. It is in the nature of things that a fresh and light fragrance cannot last so long simply because of the ingredients used. My summer AdPs stop somewhere around six hours ago. That things can get better is shown by the Profvmvm Romas, who put everything I have ever had in summery notes in the shade when it comes to durability - but also at a different price point. In summary, I find the durability in an acceptable range - but as often heard, durability is super often dependent on the wearer and his skin, so I can understand negative comments. If you just think the citric notes are slowly settling down, more bergamot follows. But I think that is exactly what you want for the summer. For me there are more wooden notes coming through in the dry-down than I would have guessed from the given notes. Overall, I cannot recommend this. The smell is really good but the performance isn’t. Plus it can be quite expensive. If they sorted out the longevity issues, I would be all over this one during the summer. That not being the case, I have to give it a pass.Cmq il mio voto e 6/10 , fragranza troppo volatile, naturale ma piatta , decisamente costosa per quello che offre. It starts off as a strong scent but it dies down rapidly, like it’s kind of unbelievable just how fast it all goes away. It really is a shame, because this would be an awesome summertime scent for either men or women. The opening is just great and upbeat. I absolutely love the lemon and bergamot combination, in the opening act. It has a cold freshness, which would be completely amazing during the summer months.

OK, so here’s where I’m going to go ahead and jump into the issues with this scent. Namely, the piss poor longevity and sillage after the opening half hour. Bergamotto di Calabria doesn’t last long. Acqua di Parma Unisexdüfte Blu Mediterraneo Bergamotto di CalabriaEau de Toilette Spray 30 ml 67,95 €If I double up the sprays, I can get a bit more out of this fragrance but not much. When it dries down into a skin scent, it has more of a musky soap quality to it, that is paired with the now much weaker citrus. Lame. To the fragrance itself remains with the headline probably not much more to say. The smells citrus-fresh and makes no secret of it. He still does not sting the nose, is definitely unisex and a great refresher. Whether Puglia, Calabria, Sardinia or Sicily is of course irrelevant in the end. Because the fragrance is flown faster than any plane from Germany to southern Italy needs! ;-) Unisex-Parfüm Blu Mediterraneo Bergamotto Di Calabria Acqua Di Parma 8028713570308 EDT (30 ml) Blu Mediterraneo Bergamotto Di Ca 62,20 € Outside summer. So something fresh. What Italian offers itself also, despite the vacation disaster. Bergamot di Calabria. The perfect companion for every summer appointment, also for a crutched person in the clinic.
