Yes it smells good, Its a go if you like bright crispy scents..
Here is how it smells to me, Its like a an expensive lemon/ lime & citrus house hold cleaner.
The bad, the performance is just bad, doesn’t last. Maybe a 30 minute blast of citrus, ginger and cedar, then nothing at all on the skin. You’ll have to spray every hour .
From a Mans’ perspective, ADP Ginepro, Cedro and Cipresso are the very best, classics at that.
More feminine
Perris Monte Carlos’ Bergamotto is way better. Try it
Isabella_fromAF – :
An effervescent bergamot opening leads to a rather non descriptive middle and end. It’s all about the top notes with this one. Fleeting as they may be, for those few glorious moments they do shine brighter than the sun, and take you away on a temperate summer vacation.
Sillage and projection are non existent
dimon2101 – :
Bitter orange and lemon, citrus, Froot Loops, fades quickly. No.
adv2000 – :
Very good scent, ruined by a poor performance. A pity, indeed.
maxB – :
Bergamotto is by far the better AdP Blu scent: very light and fresh top notes which fade too quickly.
serg_t – :
Nice scent and high quality citrus notes, like other Blu Mediterraneo line fragrances but always I have a problem with this line: weak performance on my skin 🙁
I love this line very much.
МаэSтRO – :
Apparently I wasn’t born with the right pH to allow me to enjoy hours upon days of longevity that other Fragranticans report. I unfortunately don’t get 24 hours after a gym workout and two showers with only a single spray which my wife delivered from the next room. It’s a shame because a fragrance budget of about $150 could last a lifetime.
ilya-gatilo – :
Gorgeous, gorgeous bergamot, lime, and lemon scent. Some floral undertones, but little in the way of base notes to lend it longevity. Even used in layering, it only lasts an hour or two, at most. Sillage and longevity are both quite poor, but it smells BRILLIANT when still on the skin. “Good-to-very good,” 85/100.
Inollaignipqe – :
Very high quality lemon citrus scent, perfect for summer. But as others have said, very poor longevity. So poor in fact, that I cannot detect this after just 20 mins. Such a shame as the scent is so good.
horsagreeks – :
I have to agree with Thee Maestro and say I don’t have any problem with the longevity either. 2 or 3 sprays and I can smell this all day. It’s a great bergamot scent, the type I’d been seeking for a while, from a lovely line of fragrances.
demon1983 – :
Sublimely bright and cheerful bergamot and citron to the 1,000,000th degree. Absolutely delightful.
And sadly, ever so fleeting. What a tease.
I am hopeful that I will eventually find the right conditions where this beauty can last a bit more than a few minutes — but it seems that 80 degree March weather is not ideal — on skin or on clothes.
Wathallethym – :
Fresh, pleasant, very short lived.
uay218intitytek – :
Crisp citrus scent that is so true to it’s name. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I enjoyed it for a long time.
I don’t get performance issues at all, it lasted a full work day. Sillage was effortless for this gem, projection was not bad either, I’m really confused by some reviews, it’s like we’re not reviewing the same scent at all.
Lovely summer scent, I recommend it, but having read the reviews here, I’d say beware the danger of counterfeit fragrances, especially with these niche fragrances!!
Gush – :
The most beautiful uplifting citrus scent I’ve ever smelled. Very pure and high quality bergamont and Italian lemon. The only drawback is the performance which is not the best in the world. I get 3-5 hrs of solid longevity.
kce955JeomiWogkig – :
It’s a nice fragrance, but on my skin it’s too acid and doesn’t smell as good as it sprayed in the air.
Very poor longevity. There are better fragrances in Blu Mediterraneo in my opinion.
Dyepsyamemo – :
Bergamotto di Calabria opens with an excellent blast of very natural smelling bergamot, along with a big dose of lemony citron. A slight but perceptible dash of ginger complements the herbal aspects of the bergamot for good measure. It’s a fresh and wonderful opening.
And then… nothing. Absolutely no sillage, no longevity. It’s gone in less than five minutes. If I press my nose hard against my skin, I can detect maybe a touch of musk, but that’s it. And that’s after a good few sprays on the same patch of skin.
I love a good Eau de Cologne, and I don’t begrudge their lack of longevity – they’re supposed to be fleeting, uplifting scents to refresh yourself on a hot day or lighten your mood. But Bergamotto di Calabria is no Eau de Cologne. It’s a mockery. Don’t waste your money.
aspid – :
A beautiful fresh citrus opening which turns into Yardley’s lemon verbena soap after five minutes (not a bad thing) and then lightens up a little and is joined by vetiver. As with a few of the other AdPs I’m finding I really enjoy the top notes but am left a little dissatisfied by what comes next. This is a beautiful fragrance, no doubt about it – if you’re after the definitive soapy lemon fragrance, this could be your dream come true.
roum – :
Citrus opening, drying down to a sweet, woody set of middle notes. If there was vetiver in the mix then It was subtle to the point of being subliminal. That said, for something that’s quite simple, this fragrance actually seemed to have a lot of character, for a couple of hours or so.
If I drew up a list of things I like about Bergamotto, it’d be a decently long list. But projection and value for money wouldn’t feature. This stuff is expensive, and, for the price ADP are asking, it should last a lot longer and have far better sillage.
likuper1982 – :
Whilst I agree that the initial zesty citrus fades in 20-30mins, what it leaves stays for a reasonable few hours. It is subtle though; but in a pleasing way that suggests it’s gone deeper into the skin… like how chlorine does after a swim in a public pool, but with no similarities in fragrance!
It’s sweet and floral, but believable. Some fragrances are strong enough to suggest they are masking something – this is not one of those.
Plus, I’m allergic to a lot of AdP fragrances, so far not this one!
aduserermlora – :
Totally agree with Happyme2009 below. Smells great, then evaporates in less than 10 minutes. Looking into if I can return it.
vik5vnt – :
One of the biggest wastes of money thrown away in my entire life as a parfume collector.
I wanted this for the longest time . It’s pricey and honestly, a mockery of a perfume.
Water with a few drops of bergamotte oil . Divine, zingy, sublime, for all the 30 seconds it lasts . After that it changes into a skin scent that lasts a little more, and then it vanishes without a trace . Even on clothes is gone in no time.
Absurd, and I was so expensive. I am really pissed off for wasting my birthday money on this . If I was the perfumerer who creates this , I’d be embarrassed . Seriously, not even worth $20, as for what I paid for it is simply obscene . $156 Ripoff. I am never buying another Blue Mediterraneo Edt, Never.
That being said, the smell, when you can actually smell it, it’s the most natural lime and bergamotte you could dream of. I have a bottle of essential bergamotte oil next to me, they are very similar. Except that the oil was one tenth of the price of the perfume. So I guess I’ll need to mix this edt with some essential oil and hope it becomes strong …. what a pity. It could have been the perfect summer fragrance . And keep in mind that I usually prefer not so strong fragrances.
My recommendation ? Don’t buy . I did and I regret it. Swap anyone ? 150 ml bottle, with box, booklet, everything .
Drammoveckiy – :
Verry lemony..like you would pour some of those lemon cake extracts on your skin..not for me.
mikele – :
I had a sample given to me at Holt Renfrew. I was very excited for this scent. I was like “maybe I’ll find a nice summer scent”. I’ll be honest I did, for about 10 minutes. Then poof! Gone. Has a sprite smell kind of vibe. Or rather it smells like what it tastes like. Not sure if I applied it wrong, but it was just after my shower. I’ll give it another go soon. But for now, not worthy of a purchase.
aldebarik – :
Bergamot üzerine konumlanmış bir parfümün Türkiye de işi zor. Bizler limon kolonyası ile büyümüş bir nesiliz. Yani limon ve bergamot kokusunu aslında zihnen tüketmiş durumdayız. Tabiki halen keyif alıyorum ama ilk başta zihnime hücum eden o küçüklüğün kolonya hissi, ballandıra ballandıra anlatılan parfümleri bir anda 3. Lige gönderiyor. ADP nin bergamotu da aynı kaderi paylaşıyor malesef. İlk dakikalar zaten tam bir limon kolonyası bir y dakika sonra biraz ama biraz odunsu hava oluşuyor ve kolunuza sıkıp burnunuzu dayadıysanız bunu alabiliyorsunuz. Yoksa o da mümkün değil. Kalıcılık ve koku dağılımı oldukça zayıf. Keyifli mi ? Evet, eğer bergamot istiyorsanız keyifli. Zaten bergamot için sadece ADP ve Zegna alıyorum. Zegna biraz daha taze duruyor ve biraz daha kalıcılık konusunda iyi. Ancak her ikisi de sadece kendiniz için keyifli. Etrafınız muhtemelen yeni limon kolonyası kullandığınızı sanacaktır.
ADP keyifli bir iş çıkarmış ama dediğim gibi bu coğrafyada büyüyen birisi için bu bir parfüm değil. Sadece kaliteli bir kolonya havasında.
pollll – :
I’m glad I didn’t get the full size bottle. I put this on… a lot of it and barely could smell anything. I don’t even know what it really smells like. They must know their fragrances are weak (this one esp.) I guess as long as we buy it they don’t feel the need to address the issue. The lotion lasts MUCH longer so I wear that now and to heck with the EDT.
lenka555 – :
I have a sample and I am HOOKED.
a casual, easy-to-wear, classy 09:00AM summer time fragrance.
I promise you, this will put a smile on your face.
**UPDATE: I actually bought this at a great price! This is just heavenly!
Garri999 – :
Fantastic smell. Fresh, tangy and sweet at the same time, it gives you a pleasant feeling of cleanliness and soapy freshness. I just love it!!!
P.S. I have read comments complaining about poor sillage and/or projection. This type of smell – as all the Βlu Μediterraneo series- is meant to be delicate and discreet in a classy way. In no way is this a powerhouse nor was it meant to be. This is European elegance. So , for those looking for class and european “chic” this is it!
Ssweexadeds – :
Absolutely fantastic throughout. The citrus top is so fresh and true. Pricey but well worth it.
Deroxxxwji – :
Love it! Great Fragrance for either summer or winter. Love the bergamot and lemon start with the soft Drydown, which is the best part. I keep smelling my wrist while wearing this one.
It also smells very natural.
Only wish the base would be stronger.
besides that the price is alright for 150ml.
cthutq rr – :
It’s a nice and fresh citrus scent.
Easy to wear, most suitable for summer. Totally unisex in my opinion. Not very feminine, but not masculine either.
Basic lemony scent, a little too basic for that kind of price.
Quite fine, but for that price I would be able to find at least two bottles of good perfume.
чайный пьяница – :
If only this (and many others from this house) worked on my skin, I’d be a very happy man.
I get very little from this beautiful fragrance. Very little at all. Spray, sniff – gone!
It’s a recurring annoyance for me with the house of Acqua di Parma. Classy and wonderful as most of them that I’ve tried are, I am always left feeling somewhat disappointed.
I love the smells but the strength is wasted on me.
I have tried all the Blu Mediterraneo collection and (most of the) Colonia collection too and none of them last more than an hour on my skin giving me practically no projection / sillage. I mean, like nothing.
Sure, I get the amazing smells and adorable flavours they permit but they are nothing more than a skin scent on me. Maybe it’s my DNA, although I have seen other similar comments.
It’s for those reasons that I find them far too expensive and over-priced for what they offer you as a buyer. I’ve spent a small fortune buying some of these fragrances but sadly, I simply can’t afford to justify making the same mistake again.
Yes, I know many people will strongly disagree with me and mention that we shouldn’t expect all fragrances to be powerhouses, sending passers-by into an olfactory frenzy; but I definitely want something more to show for my money than what Acqua di Parma have offered me to date.
Damn!
newplan – :
Tried this with my mother when we went out on my birthday. She liked it and said “It smells lemony.” “That’s the bergamot and lemons then” I replied. It’s nice but doesn’t seem to warrant the huge price tag for just a fresh citrus with a fairly generic and fast dry down. I am often disappointed with high end stuff. We ended up buying Next Eau Nude, which is quite sophisticated and Next Paradise, which my husband loves and is only £4 for 10ml.
kuzia_78 – :
Bergamotto di Calabria is a beautiful fragrance, simple, elegant and just lovely. I find it quite intoxicating.
Yes the performance is certainly not the best, but this is one of those rare moments for me when the overall effect of the fragrance makes up for it’s performance woes IMO.
It does remind me slightly of Sel de Vetiver but only briefly. It also reminds me of Dior Homme Cologne to some extent, but it is better to my nose than the Dior. It reminds me of many fragrances in part, however none capture the magic that this possesses for me.
This is what I might have imagined Grace Kelly to waft of in “To Catch a Thief”, though I realize the movie was in Nice.
I realize there are a million versions of this type of fragrance, but this for me is very, very special. It is the best of summer in a bottle.
8.5 overall while taking it’s lacking performance into account.
alexlev – :
smells great. but out of all the acdp blue line. This is by far the weakest. Gone after 1 hour. Too bad.
andranikbadalyan – :
Bergamotto di Calabria has a pleasant citrusy opening that rapidly adds a spicy soapy component. The dry down, which develops quickly, is all about the ginger, bolstered by hints of cedar, musk, and benzoin. If you like ginger this fragrance might be for you, but be advised you’re going to have to reapply it a lot: the longevity is very short. Very. I wanted to like BdC–I generally like all the notes that go into its formulation–but, at least on my skin, it really doesn’t work. It seems thin, linear, uninteresting, and weak.
Ramirezz – :
Such a nice juicy, bright opening. The bright opening of citrus tones stays for a good 20-30 minutes before the vetiver peeps through just barely.
Sitting on the beach, with a fruity drink in super hot weather is the picture this gives me. This definitely leans towards the masculine side.
The staying power is horrendous, which i am assuming is due to the bright opening which never really goes away. I’m not sure how anyone can justify paying the price of this fragrance for such lame longevity.
I will say if it lasted longer and has better performance, I would have to give in and buy it.
Scent: 7.5/10 (Nothing new, just smells really good)
Longevity: 3/10
Sillage: 3/10
Overall: Disappointing.
aidafaza – :
Acqua di Parma Blu Mediterraneo Bergamotto di Calabria is my first fragrance from the AdP Blu Mediterraneo line. This is a very fresh and enjoyable citrus fragrance, but for my money, Tom Ford’s Italian Cypress is a far better “mediterranean” fragrance. I’m sure I’ll try a few other AdP fragrances from this line. Suggestions are welcome.
Update: I’ve tried this several times now and although the opening is quite nice, I’m down to barely a skin scent in 2 hours. I’m sure it’s me but I’m not going to upgrade to a full bottle.
georgcun – :
Acqua di Parma Blu Mediterraneo Bergamotto di Calabria is a very pleasant citron scent with some bergamot and lime which sits next to the skin. As the lemony notes mostly fade away after an hour or two, it becomes a very gentle woody musk. It’s very delicate but it does last quite a long time, around 6 or 7 hours before it starts to vanish properly off the skin.
Bergamotto di Calabria is the nicest of the Blu Med range by far. It’s flexible in that it works day or night and any time of year and for any occasion. I like the bottle and the packaging too. However, I do think it is overpriced. The Blu Med range feels more like a marketing gimmick by AdP to get the cash registers ringing. The revivification of the company in the last twenty years has led to lots of new lines but very little of genuine top class merit for the money. BdC is a genuine unisex perfume and you could use it straight out the shower, getting back from work, going to bed, just about anything you want that relies on subtlety and discretion. If you want to make an impression or just smell your perfume after an hour, then it’s not the one.
I like it but I wish it was stronger and lasted longer.
иринаа – :
Green lime in a bottle .. That how I can describe it .
marinchik989 – :
Very fresh and clean scent! The lemon/citrusy notes are definitely noticeable. Unfortunately, this fragrance fades way too quickly and only lasts less than 10 minutes on my skin.
ko-brus – :
Very clean, very fresh, very ticklish on my nose. This scent is almost perfectly balanced on me. Perhaps it is a touch too ozonic, actually, but the lotion form of this scent rounds that out amazingly.
alexey250881 – :
Bergamotto di Calabria is a straightforward lemon and bergamot fragrance on me. The citrus is aromatic and gently sweetened. The presence of cedar renders the scent a powdery woody texture, while the ginger brings a subtle cool, crystalline feeling to the citrus.
The sillage is soft and the longevity is around 6 hours. Although I’m more drawn towards the tart, juicy, sparkling interpretation of lemon, I did enjoy the cool citrus breeze of Bergamotto di Calabria immensely. It would definitely make a refreshing experience on a sultry summer day.
ТОхА – :
I believe it’s unisex, so decided to try.
Very fresh, clean citrus with a dry understated woody finish. Didn’t get any of the described spices, just the citrus and woody notes.
I wouldn’t buy it for myself but would quite enjoy it on my man. Seems like a nice all-year round scent, mostly for daytime wear, but one would get away wearing it as a day-to-night fragrance too (might however need a top-up spritz towards the end of day).
valera294 – :
Amazing..!! The Acqua di Parma line is incredible and a “best kept secret” for fragrance perfumers…
I was reminded this morning of the clean and fresh feeling of wearing Acqua di Parma’s, Bergamotto di Calabria. This juice is good..!! Out of the bottle, you get the initial blast of bergamot notes followed by the dry-down into an extraordinary blend of citrus, ginger, green, and a whisper of vetiver notes. Somehow, I have managed to accumulate nine (9) of the Acqua Di Parma fragrances – each unique and amazing in their own identity, but all share a common citrus DNA. While Bergamotto di Calabria (BdC) is geared toward Spring and Summer wear, it does offer great flexibility during this timeframe – from casual outings to more formal events. I find that BdC lingers close to the body and unfortunately, last only about four (4) hours on me and clothing. But during that 4 hour window – whoa, this juice is good stuff.. Given the brevity and low sillage of the fragrance, I would suggest that BdC is “office safe” and will add that based on the note composition, BdC is totally unisex.
My final tally for Bergamotto di Calabria is 4.0 stars out of 5.0 stars. It is classy, refined, and will leave the wearer feeling clean and fresh. If this fragrance only had greater staying power, definitely a Top 5 fragrance. Based on my increased confidence level while wearing today, BdC comes with a solid recommendation to add to your collection and is a definite “love” in the fragrance community…
Enjoy your day and happy fragrance hunting…
Lianamianella – :
Bergamotto di Calabria embraces the semi-bitterness of the eponymous bergamot note, which stands out above all else and is mainly paired with a musk base.
I haven’t tried many fragrances that rely solely on bergamot, not coupling it with another citrus or top note, but this is almost a refreshlingy bitter take on a citrus-heavy fragrance. Its opening only is slightly saltier and more acidic than its dry down. Longevity and projection are on par with most other ADP fragrances, good but not great.
Most reviews cite similarities to Dior Homme so I’d have to try that to compare, but as it stands, this is a pleasant warm weather day fragrance. Still debatable if it merits the Acqua di Parma price, cheaper designer options notwithstanding, but something that I imagine most men and some women could pull off in the summer especially. I probably wouldn’t opt to buy this as I get a similar-enough experience from the cheap, grapefruit-based Elixir White by C.O. Bigelow, but some may find ADP BdC more compelling.
7 out of 10
tasha.19 – :
Overwhelming lemons. All I got was lemon. Not a deep or complex scent.
Edited to say after two hours of dry down I can’t smell anything at all.
tgq424bedyWelty – :
Lovely scent but try Dior homme cologne which is half the price…
BVetal87 – :
In my opinion it’s the weakest of the Blue Mediterraneo scents. It has a mild citric tone, so never sharp, harsh and even less strong. The citric notes never stands out alone, being for the begining to end always mixed with a sweet tone, not candy like, maybe more like a mild flowery note (I can’t identify it more acurately), just a bit sweet, to give a balance to the composition. As the others Acqua di Parma Blue Mediterraneo scents, everthing feels natural and in place.
el_tigro_89 – :
I didn’t love or hate it. It opened smelling exactly like orange flavored Pez candy and settled into a pleasant enough citrus zest smell. Not a particularly complex fragrance. You get all citrus all the time, at least on my skin to my nose. It may still be a little too cold in the Midwestern US for this, but it was warmish and sunny and I really wanted to try one of my AdiP samplers.
patrickpct1 – :
VERY similar to Atelier’s Grand Neroli, except this one has a slight bit more of a tangerine type of scent. It opens with a citrus blast, rapidly becomes a skin scent and then dies.
As much as I like the fragrance, I can’t spend this kind of cash on something that has so little longevity. Grand Neroli is a much better buy.
tier1 – :
This perfume makes for a very pleasant hour. First there’s a very nice blast of fresh citrus for ten minutes or so, and then the ginger begins to dominate on my skin and it starts to smell deliciously like cookies. Still some citrus in the background but mostly sweet ginger. This split personality makes it interesting and great for every season, and if it lasted more than an hour I think I might love it. As it is, I like it very much.
androyd1700 – :
A somewhat one note fragrance, this hesperidic offering from Acqua di Parma is definitely bright and cheerful. Intense citrus facets of bergamot are further amplified by citron, beautifully capturing both the sour and bitter notes found in the freshly peeled rind and pith of each. Unfortunately, this is all that one can appreciate, as the accompanying notes are so far relegated to the background as to be nonexistent. I am only able to note subtle nuances of ginger far into the dry down, which does pair nicely with the intense citrus. Rose and cedar are lost on me. Lastly, barely perceptible vetiver (here capturing its lemony and woody facets) is noted several minutes after applying. Like most other citrus based fragrances, its tenacity and sillage are weak. I prefer Creed’s Neroli Sauvage over this. (147)
Dinaram – :
My favourite of the Blu Mediterraneo iterations. It hits just the right tone for me in terms of freshness, with an intensely cool bergamot and lemon, but sadly lasts barely 30 minutes on my skin.
Dotesotte – :
To me, it smells like citrus, bergamot, soft pine and little ginger. Love it! It’s so fresh, little sweet and yummy! Easy summer scent, but longevity is not great around 2 hours on my skin.
I prefer this version over the other citrusy fragrance from Blu Mediterraneo – Arancia di Capri . Arancia smels more masculine on me.
soldat3499 – :
Zesty lemon !
This one is my forth favourite out of the blue line. Mandorlo being the first then Mirto then Fico Amalfi and now this. I am not sure if I will purchase it though because its true , the lasting power is not as good as with the others. But I usually don’t mind that and just take it along and respray every hour ;).
This one is like sweet lemon pie. Very good !!!! Its so lemony and the ginger and ceader with the tonka is quite gourmandish to my nose. I can’t resist it.
A great choice for warm summer days !
I still prefer Mirto and Fico as well as Mandorlo but if I ever add onto my colection it will likely be Bergamotto
KucJI9TuHa – :
Another great smell from Acqua Di Parma, which lasts for all of 20 – 30 min, shame, why do they do this.
yarik-86 – :
I can’t say that I like fragrances with the leading bergamot note.
But in this fragrance the bergamot note goes together with the citron note, so it smells pleasantly citrusy fresh enough. Luckily the musk note is not strong, so it’s crystal fresh enough. The vetiver and benzoin notes are far from being strong, too. And the red ginger note doesn’t seem spicy. Floral accents are also almost not noticeable.
Good citrusy fresh fragrance for the hot weather, but not my favorite in this line. And in general.
Meumd449intitytek – :
This is heaven for me very very strong zingy opening from the bergamot and citron which settles in quickly. It’s a classic combo of citrus & Musk with benzoin and vetiver to give it a lovely baseline and it works. This is a great scent I’ve not a negative thing to say about it. All of these EDT’s are not massively strong but strong enough and have average longevity and sillage…just spray a bit more if you want?
All in all Id have the entire collection as they’re just spot on really really good stuff again from Acqua Di Parma.
TuthNeulala – :
yes this is a beautiful smelling perfume.
In the opening its citric with a dominant bergamot.
It just fades too quick to smell the middle note and it ends in a nice flowery-wood scent with rose and vetiver.
A nice scent for all day use especially on warm summer days. It reflects a moderate Italian afternoon at a garden. Its longevity isn’t that great.
markander – :
Scent-wise, it’s a beautiful, natural-smelling citrus. Very pleasant and refreshing. Projection is between soft and moderate. Not sure about longevity yet. I’ll keep you posted.
UPDATE: Longevity is moderate. It’s been about five hours since I sprayed it on.
ktyffrbvjdf – :
Hot summer days are approaching and nothing can cheer you up!
But wearing Blu Mediterrano series which resembles sightseeing in wonderful Italy can make you feel better!
Here we don’t have sporty fragrance.
You can wear this fragrance when you wanna stay calm and relax!
Such as lying on a beach, camping on a green valley of mountain or being on a voyage!
And that makes these series a perfect choice for this damn wheather!
Now about Bergamotto di Calibria:
This fragrance starts with a fresh and very natural scent of citron and bergamot.
It feels like smelling fresh cut of bergamot but it’s a little sharp.
Then a bitter note of ginger with a warm note of cedar wood make it balance.
And finally we have pleasant (still very natural) woody-citrus notes of vetiver and bergamot.
I highly recomended this one for all citrus lovers specially fans of bergamot.
But sadly it doesn’t have a good power of sillage and longevity! 🙁
خوب دیگه روزای گرم مزخرف تابستون رسیدن و یه عطر خنک و آرامش بخش میتونه تو یه موقعیت مناسب حال ادم و جا بیاره.
و سری مدیترانه ی ابی اکوا دی پارما خیلی راحت این کار رو میکنن.
این سری از عطر ها عطر خنک ورزشی نیستن که بزنید و برید بدویید با هاشون.
یه عطر مناسبن برا وقتی که میخوایید یه جای اروم باشید مثل لم دادن زیر افتاب کنار ساحل یا اینک چادر زدید کنار یه جای سبز و میخوایین لذت ببرید از روزتون.
خوب حالا راجع به این عطر.
یه عطر فوق العاده دلپذیر و طبیعی بر اساس رایحه ی بهار نارنج یا همون ترنج.
این عطر با بوی دوست داشتنی نوعی لیمو و بهار نارنج باز میشه که من رو برد به یاد کوچه باغ های شمال.
بوی بسیار طبیعی داره مثل اینه که میوه ی تازه قارچ شدش رو بو کنید.
بعد چند دقیقه بوی ترش زنجبیل به همراه بوی چوب سدر با این معجون ترکیب میشن یکم عطر رو نرم تر میکنن.
و در اخر هم یه بوی شاداب از وتیور و ترنج دارید که روانتون رو شاد میکنه.
اما متاسفانه خیلی زود بوش از رو پوست میره ونیاز به تجدید داره.
اما من حاضرم انقد پول بابتش بدم.
به همه طرف دارای بهار نارنج پیشنهادش میکنم.

Fragancia cítrica cuyas notas principales: vetiver, bergamota y limón. Una fragancia que me transporta a mi querido Mediterráneo siempre sugerente, perfecta para los meses de calor.
slt748bedyWelty – :
This perfect hot weather scent makes me feel happy and reminds me of my youth when we used a suntan lotion called Bergasol which smelled very similar! Bergasol still exists but it doesnt smell the way it used to do. On me it lasts for aprox 2 hours but on my clothes it stays much langer!
I also tried Tom Ford’s Neroli di Portofino which costs three times more ( at least here in Belgium) and is also a perfect summer scent but that one lasted for a day or two on the paper testing strip but on me it also doesn’t last longer then two hours!!! For that price…
replicaw19569 – :
Gone in 30 minutes. I love all the Acqua Di Parma Blu Metirraneo fragrances I have tried. My favourites so far are Mirto di Panarea and Mandorlo di Sicilia, however they all suffer from poor longevity on my skin. This Bergamotto di Calabria has been the most disappointing so far, the bergamot and lemon are very prominent, and then the ginger kicks in and after that there is barely anything at all. What a shame. Perhaps it would be better and last longer in warm sunshine, but every time I have tried it the weather has been very British; dull, overcast and rainy. I am not going to give up though and will try the rest of the range. Unfortunately, where I live, no one sells Acqua di Parma and I have to go to another city. At their prices I don’t want to buy blind and have it all gone in a week.

I really like this scent! It’s got the citrussy freshness but also something soft and warm. It’s a really big shame this is gone after 30-45 minutes max.
The scent itself is beautiful, very natural and uplifting. But the very poor longevity and projection make this a very expensive fragrance to buy and wear in my opinion.

This was perfect to refresh myself with without having a shower getting home from work after a hot day… The bergamot/lemon freshness that came first was beautiful. Then I got lovely early whifs from a soft almost childish musk..dont know how to describe it otherwise.
The ginger makes the wear somewhat sharper and interesting .the benzoin and musk makes this a fluffy almost inttoxicating skinscent . Nice soft but not like what I expecred it to be. A nice wear when wanna smell clean I guess, but with style and no detergent feel too it at all !

Is a nice scent, nothing more. Good for day time use, on a summer day. Doesn’t really last long as almost all the Acqua Di Parma’s. This one was of course citrusy in the beginning and although I’m not a huge fan of citrus this one nailed it. It was fresh, it reminded me of the sea being somewhere in a yacht dressed in white and blue. A good fragrance, wished it lasted longer. Try it.

It’s a happy lemony ginger and vetiver smell , i meantioned vetiver because i get a little soapy effect in the background.
To me it smell like babies cologne , clean and fresh but not the quality that i was expecting.
weak in longevity and projection.
I’ll pass…

I have an on and off relationship with this perfume. I bought it two years ago and I remember thinking: “What’s so special about this?” I thought it was a waste of money.
So today I decided to give it a try (one more time)and took the time to smell it without any preconceptions.
