Ortigia Sicilia Bergamotto Eau de Parfum 100ml

Ortigia Sicilia Bergamotto Eau de Parfum 100ml is a vibrant and invigorating fragrance that captures the essence of the Sicilian landscape, specifically the aromatic richness of bergamot. This perfume is distinctly green and strong, evoking the sun-drenched groves of Sicily where bergamot trees flourish. The scent is fresh yet complex, making it a versatile and energizing fragrance for both men and women.

The key ingredient in this Eau de Parfum is bergamot essential oil, which is derived from the leaves and zest of the bergamot orange tree (Citrus Aurantium Amara Bergamia). This tree, native to the Mediterranean region, is known for its small, green citrus fruits that yield a fragrant oil prized in perfumery. The essential oil is extracted through cold-pressing the peel, capturing the bright, tangy aroma of the fruit.

The scent of Bergamotto Eau de Parfum opens with a bold burst of citrus that is fresh and zesty, immediately uplifting the senses. As the fragrance develops, the green, slightly bitter and floral notes of the bergamot tree’s leaves and zest come to the forefront, adding depth and complexity to the perfume. The citrusy brightness is softened by a subtle floral undertone, which gives the fragrance a well-rounded elegance. The overall composition is crisp, clean, and refreshing, making it ideal for those who enjoy light, citrus-driven scents that are not overly sweet but have a sophisticated edge.

Bergamot has a long history in perfumery, particularly in Italy, where it has been cultivated for centuries. It is a key ingredient in many famous classic fragrances, thanks to its versatility and ability to balance other ingredients. Historically, bergamot was introduced to Italy in the 15th century, likely by Arab traders, and has since become a hallmark of Mediterranean fragrance and flavor. Bergamot oil is also famously used in Earl Grey tea, adding to its cultural significance.

Ortigia Sicilia’s Bergamotto Eau de Parfum pays homage to this rich history, bottling the essence of Sicily’s vibrant citrus groves in a perfume that is both invigorating and timeless. Its green, fresh character perfectly reflects the natural beauty and vibrancy of the island.
