Bergamote de G. Franco Eau de Parfum

In a tiny area of Reggio in Calabria Italy, around the strait of Messina, crops provide the bergamot oil so crucial to perfumery, lending its bright, luscious, aromatic citrus qualities to untold number of fragrances. In Bergamote de G. Franco, named after L'Atelier Français des Matières' Italian partner Gianfranco, it's given star billing. Using both early and late-harvested crops of bergamot, the former imparting a very green quality and the latter a confectionary sweetness, Bergamote de G. Franco is combined with the sun-drenched honeyed mimosa flower, along with delicately sweet osmanthus, with its tea and apricot facets. In addition to the creaminess mimosa imparts, Kashmirin saffron gives Bergamote de G. Franco a leathery note, adding to the scent's subtle complexity. Sunny and elegant with gravitas, Bergamote de G. Franco is a bergamot-forward fragrance with more than one twist.
