THE VERDANT, AMBERY BITTERNESS OF GUERLAIN BERGAMOT, IN ITS ULTIMATE CONCENTRATION

Bergamote Fantastico Extrait 11 reveals bergamot in its most perfect olfactory expression at Guerlain, unveiling a truly intense signature from within. Acting inherently as a top note, bergamot exudes an intense freshness along with the powerfully ambery trail of a grand Guerlain fragrance, in an ultimate concentration of 30%.

The Guerlain Perfumers have expressed bergamot in excess, strengthening the verdant bitterness of its petitgrain, the very essence of the bergamot leaf. Extending this intensity, a Guerlain signature ambery accord – the opopanine found in Shalimar – unveils a trail as potent as a base note, buoyed by the smoky and woody facets of guaiac wood essence.

Bergamote Fantastico Extrait 11 is part of the Les Extraits Signature collection of extracts, which embody the quintessence of the Guerlain scent trail. This collection pays homage to the alchemy of the Maison’s iconic signature, Guerlinade, by highlighting the six raw materials within it and revealing the golden number of each one.

EXTRAIT 11 FOR THE 11TH MONTH

11 is the golden number of Guerlain bergamot. Fantastico bergamot* – the fruit of a bergamot tree renowned for its superior quality – is harvested for Guerlain in Calabria at the start of the 11th month of the year. This early harvest is what gives the bergamot its explosive, exquisite bitterness.

THE ART OF BERGAMOT

BACK IN 1853, PIERRE-FRANÇOIS-PASCAL GUERLAIN CHOSE BERGAMOT TO BRING A BREATH OF VIBRANT FRESHNESS TO HIS EAU DE COLOGNE IMPÉRIALE.
