Laboratorio Olfattivo Bergamotto EDC 100 ml is a citrus eau de cologne for men and women. Master perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena, inspired by his love for Italy, signs for Laboratorio Olfattivo una collection called “Viaggio in Italia by Jean-Claude Ellena,” whose three stages are: Mandarin, Lemon, and Bergamot, representations of the typically Italian joy of living and good humor. Perfumes that are like “a ray of sunshine in una A typically winter day.” “If other citrus fruits originated in China, Bergamot, on the other hand, is Italian. It’s a real shame not to know the author of its creation, the one who crossed a lemon tree with a bitter orange: he could have received the same homage as his colleague Clément, who invented the clementine. Italian traders even sold Bergamot to the Chinese to flavor their second-rate tea, which they then resold to the English. I’m often asked if I have any olfactory preferences. I’ve always said no, wanting to hide the manipulations I exert on odors, given that the work of a perfumer is very similar to that of a magician. Well, yes, I do have preferences, and they vary according to my needs, my desires. I experience fleeting loves, but also strong and lasting loves, to the point that I’m very attached to Bergamot. It’s about time I made this bond official.” Jean-Claude Ellena
