Description

A cross between a lemon and a bitter orange, bergamot is the prince of perfumery, found in almost all the most popular formulas today. But because of its volatility, this particular prince has never received the honor it deserves. So Perris Monte Carlo went right back to extraction, following its ancient traditions. A curved knife is used to remove the pulp and leave the peel behind, also known as “Bergamot sponge”. It is then passed over a natural sponge to collect the essence. Its decidedly modern, invigorating freshness comes from additional exotic touches and lengthy experiments with Bergamot to make it persistent and zingy.

Longevity and layering

Did you know that fragrance longevity can be greatly increased by beginning your routine with clean, moisturized skin? We recommend starting with a shower gel or soap that is either neutrally scented or in the same scent family as your perfume. Then, add a moisturizer and/or body oil and allow it to soak in. Finally, add your fragrance on top. This added moisture barrier will hold the scent molecules for more time, allowing the fragrance to last longer. Think of it as a primer for perfume!
You can also layer scented products (including lotion, soap, body oil, perfume oil, and other alcohol-based perfumes) to add depth, intensity, or a variety of other facets to your final fragrance. We suggest beginning with similar scents (such as two different citrus or vanilla fragrances) and testing those layering combinations, then branching out to more experimental pairings. Feeling stuck? Shared notes, even in very different fragrances, can help bring the final scent together. The sky's the limit - have fun!
