Classical Citrus

The nocturnal shadow, of Nice Bergamot.

Exterior, night. After a warm summer day, nature exhales delightfully lush scents in the cool evening air. Nice Bergamote Extrait transports us to the nocturnal side of the fragrance. More gourmand, more narcotic, more intoxicating, the scent reveals itself under a shadowed facet, unveiling a rare intensity thanks to a concentration twice that of the Eau de Parfum. The full intensity of a mediterranean Summer night.

The eponymous star of the Eau de Parfum, bergamot, reveals a new facet in the Extrait. While it releases its joyful and radiant top notes, instantly recognisable, it also unveils sweet, almost candied nuances, enhanced by the softness of bitter orange. Soon, the floral heart unfolds on the skin, more radiant than ever: to accompany the ylang-ylang, Antoine Maisondieu selected a jasmine sambac absolute, a variety with narcotic and fruity facets, to capture the nocturnal scent of white flowers, heady and captivating. The addictive trail lingers on a subtly chypre woody base, where cedar blends with patchouli, and the vanilla hints of tonka bean merge with a delicious ambered sugar accord.
