NICE BERGAMOTE by Antoine Maisondieu
“Perfumery is a journey of constant learning and discovery. I imagined this fragrance as a vibrant tribute to the aristocratic beauty of Calabrian bergamot, sublimating it with a few rose and jasmine petals and some precious woods softened by Tonka bean.”
A sunny burst of the finest natural Calabrian bergamot leaves an impression of brightness behind, woven with a Natural floral accord of rose petals, jasmine, and Ylang Ylang from the Comoros Archipelago. Precious cedarwood creates a warm base, softened by Tonka beans from Venezuela. Nice Bergamote features a natural and sustainable variety of Ylang Ylang from Comores extracted by lowering the impact on the local ecosystem and by implementing a replanting program of trees. We source Tonka beans that support local Venezuelan communities, with an agreement to protect the surrounding fauna.
OUR STORY
With more than 25 years of experience in the fragrance industry, we founded Essential Parfums with a rebellious spirit and the mission to restore the essence of haute perfumery. At Essential Parfums, we grew from a simple approach: giving perfumers carte blanche to create, with no constraints or limits. We partner with the best master and senior perfumers in the world, carefully sourcing the finest sustainable ingredients whenever possible, to be transformed into olfactory masterpieces. The result is a place to buy uniquely luxurious scents at an accessible price — all wrapped in eco-friendly packaging. We created this brand to share a true passion for the art of scent — therefore, our priority will always be the fragrance itself, rather than the trappings that surround it (like fancy bottles, advertising costs, and licensing fees that tend to muddle the essence of perfumery). As for the ingredients themselves, the costliness and complexity of working with naturals makes them a far rarer find in the fragrance world, but we know that they are well worth the effort to produce perfumes that do justice to each note within. Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication, which is why we focus on a precious handful of natural ingredients over a cacophony of synthetics.
A signature scent should speak for itself.
