Orto Parisi Bergamask
Slow to reveal, sharp when it stays
Bergamask is one of Orto Parisi's first perfumes, dated 2014 on the brand's own pages. The brand describes it as a perfume extract that reveals itself very slowly and then stays to play, with a sharp sting that cuts through everything. No notes are published, so that description is all there is to go on, and it is a vivid one.

On the skin
How it unfolds
-
Slow to show itself
The brand's central claim is about time: Bergamask reveals itself very slowly. By that account it unfolds gradually, so a first impression is only the start of the conversation. It is a perfume to judge late, once the opening has said its piece and you have lived with it for a while.
-
Attraction and repulsion
The brand tells it as a cycle of life shaped by attraction and repulsion, and its text reaches for something raw and wild, with a sting that cuts through everything. We keep to that framing without turning it into a smell, because the house does not say which materials are behind it.
-
Give it the time it asks for
An undisclosed perfume that unfolds slowly rewards patience. Spray it on skin when you have no reason to hurry, and come back to it now and then. Do not decide at the first spray; the brand's own claim is that this one needs time. A second day gives you a more honest picture.
Wearing it
When, who and why
Applying it
Bergamask is a Parfum, so one spray on the chest or the neck is a fair first test and two are plenty for most people. Wear it where its slow pace suits the day, such as an evening with time to spare. The brand names no season, so trust your own sense of when a sharper perfume fits.
Who it suits
Bergamask carries no gender label from the brand, so we treat it as unisex. It is for people who like some tension in a perfume's story and accept that the recipe stays hidden. If you want a perfume that explains itself quickly, note that the brand describes this one as slow.
Why choose Orto Parisi Bergamask
It dates from 2014, the house's first year, and it carries the founder's own voice: Alessandro Gualtieri, who signs as The Nose, with a cap of antique-gold metal and inlaid light horn from Ethiopia and Somalia. It has a clear point of view, told openly even though the formula is not.

Questions
Frequently asked
What are the notes?
Orto Parisi does not publish them, and the perfumer, who signs as The Nose, does not reveal the notes of his creations. For Bergamask the brand gives only a description of attraction, repulsion and a sharp sting.
What concentration is it?
A Parfum in a 50 ml bottle, which the brand itself calls a perfume extract. That is a rich, concentrated form, so a small amount is enough.
How long should I wait before judging it?
The brand says it reveals itself very slowly, so look beyond the first impression. Wear it on skin, come back to it a few times, and try it on a second day as well.

The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all excellent. I’m very satisfied. 👍💯👍
Very good quality profume, it last long and it has a good price for its incredible aroma and mixes of fruit and wood smell
A cozy, slightly sensual vanilla that feels like warm night air by the sea. Easy to love if you enjoy gourmand perfumes with a soft smoky edge.
This perfume is really well blended, I just removed a star because I personnaly don't like the top note (citronella)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Good cologne, love the citrus and ginger scent making it a playful combo while the tea base makes it a bit more mature. Great for the gym
FragranceGems is again really quick with their releases. I hope this one smells better than Too Damn Good. Already rating a 5 star because of previous experiences!!
Already pre-order. As always, FragranceGems is the first with good releases. Looking forward to my bottle!
The cap of the bottle came with a small part of it broken off and the glass pieces were in the box
