Acqua Di Parma Blu Mediterraneo Bergamotto Di Calabria Eau de Toilette for Him or Her 150 ml

Product Information

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. 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.

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. 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 fragrance is definitely best for the really hot summer days. But since I bought this one, I can't stop wearing it.How wearable it is will depend on each individual’s tolerance for those woody ambers. Certainly, their presence in the structure cannot be ignored. However, if we must have them, then please let it be in this manner: carefully dosed and concealed behind more pleasantly disposed materials. Demachy proves with this release that, when employed skilfully, woody ambers are just as important as any other complements of the perfumer’s arsenal. Here, they serve to focus and lend gravity to a release that may otherwise have been easy to dismiss as yet another light cologne, turning it into of the best Blu Mediterraneo scents we’ve had for years. 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. 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. It begins with such a strong bergamot note that you feel like you are sitting in a bergamot fruit. But the name already gives a hint of this. But in my opinion the Italians have managed to make this citric freshness come along without such a strange artificial touch.

Depending on the temperature and especially humidity, the scent develops sometimes faster, sometimes slower. Especially in sultry weather, the scent seems to me literally flow from the skin. This is unfortunately the weak point of this fragrance: He remains apart from the freshness prelude rather close to the body, so a very intimate fragrance and the shelf life is also very short with only one to three hours in some cases. Since the top notes outshine the heart and base notes by far, you can add the fragrance at any time, nothing gets caught, nothing interferes. And you have to put unfortunately, you want to come through the day unscathed.Acqua Di Parma Bergamotto Di Calabria La Spugnatura review based on a sample provided by the brand in 2021.] Some companies sometimes give their fragrances completely abstruse names.
