Similar to Guerlain Mouchoir de Monsieur. Not as complex as Guerlain MdM. It’s nice, a perfume as a cologne.
KEqginS – :
Starts with strong bergamot, natural and fresh. In the middle you smell a clean musk but as the time goes by, the sweaty musk kicks in and lasts a long time. I love it, very nice summer scent with characteur.
Larior – :
Tried it yesterday. My review would be similar to the one made by Anais Nin.
Update: Bought it today. There’s definitely more than two ingredients in this parfume.

Really not sure where people are getting Musk out of this. Perhaps it’s a name to note association? Bergamot, yes, but I don’t get musk out of this…I get Bergamot and Ambergris and that’s about it, from beginning to end, which by the way is about 24 hours later.
I know that Gualtieri does not reveal the note breakdown of his fragrances, so the association of the name Bergamask to Bergamot and Musk is understandable.
Anyway, I’m really not into citrus scents at all, but I do enjoy marine accords so maybe it’s the ambergris that I perceive that makes this one work for me. Or maybe it’s the pure potency of the juice as most citruses are rather fleeting; two sprays and your likely to gas people out, I know because I’ve done it. One spray to the chest under your shirt and a quick half spritz on your arm and you good to go…..Until the next day!
Overall, I’ll rate it an 8 out of 10, deducting points only for being too potent of a scent.
Edit: After a few more wearings I’ve really turned on this fragrance….it’s just too cloying and unforgiving. I have since sold it off.

Bergamask is a brilliantly minimalist citrus fragrance. The huge bergamot note is stunning, with both fruity and herbal aspects. It is bolstered by a forest of furry grey musk. And that’s it – bergamot and musk.
Bergamask is surprisingly dark for a citrus fragrance, and has monstrous longevity and projection, thanks to its parfum concentration and synthetic musk base.
This would make an excellent signature scent for a creative individual in a shadowy profession.

Fragrance from the perfume of eosinophils If you are a fan you will love it but I see that it lacks a lot of perfume becomes a fragrance of citrus Valberjmot and lime dominate the fragrance from the beginning of the fragrance until the middle of the fragrance fragrance does not change from the beginning until the middle after the musk to make the fragrance more vibrant and soft even sandal power It is known to be dull in fragrance

After a glorious and indisputable Citrus opening, the wolf unzips the sheep’s clothing to reveal an intense tarry-charcoal dry down. Is this Benzoin? It’s the strongest benzoin I’d seen, since Olympic Orchid’s Blackbird’s base note. While I love benzoin, it’s usually as a side dish, not the main course. Two sprays induced a 5-alarm migraine.
Aside from the headache, I actually quite love Bergamask. It’s a skillful play of light versus dark — the surreptitious subterfuge of a bright/ light opening, followed by serious darkness. It’s around the 15 minute mark when the ‘mask’ comes off, and the Jekyll meets Hyde.

LOVE THIS! I love bergamot. I love musk. If these are truly the only 2 notes…..they are blended perfectly :o) Mmmmmmmmmmmm……
text-song.ru – :
This is citrus smooth and super amazing but unfortunately the metallic note makes it awfully disturbing to my sensing. Only if there weren’t that metallic note it would have been the best of his creations.
EDDIE – :
Honestly, this is good juice, 10/10 for compliments alone, I was followed today and she smiled as she went past me but I can’t blame her, it is really beautiful.
I also went into the local curry shop for takeaways and the owner came in a few minutes after me and he said he knew I was there again, he smelled the magic down the road he said.
It projects well but it is not loud or egotistical or sharp.
Sillage is just perfect 10/10
Longevity is perfect from shower to shower 10/10
Smell is personally magnificent for such a simple composition, 9/10.
Price is great for real art. 10/10
Innovative / creative packaging 9/10
– – But here’s the most interesting part that just makes The Nose so great…
When I bought the orto, I had decided on Brutus and Stercus but I took the Bergamask instead. When I got home I unboxed the bottle and I sprayed my arm, it was beautiful… then I noticed a nasty smell and it was my fingers, really nasty like an old dirty dish-cloth smell, so I washed my hands in the kitchen with dishwashing soap. A few minutes later I noticed my fingers were stinking again, I wondered if I had not washed them properly, so I washed them again. I sat down again puzzled about what was making my fingers smell and I picked up the bottle… and then I realised that there was a small smudge of clear oil on the underside of the bottle, I had my friend smell my fingers and he was disgusted! Yet I still couldn’t explain the existence of the foul smell. A week later I bought the Boccanera and the same thing happened again. In each case I had to wipe the bottles carefully. At first I thought perhaps the juice leaked but the juice is beautiful. I thought it may be a mistake in production but no, the drop of foul oil was carefully placed in the ‘dimple’ at the bottom of the bottle such that it never even touched the cardboard box. I did read later that the juice was originally exhibited/displayed on a plinth of dry manure. I believe this foul smell is a ‘gift’ from the artist, I am grateful as we are all thoroughly entertained by this and plus the juice is heavenly.
Did anyone else notice the foul fingers after handling a new bottle?
Overall – 10/10 Bravo!!!

sometimes your ‘thoughts’ tarnish your ‘feelings’.
smell and scent is largely a feeling-based phenomenon for me. connected to memory, the impression a perfume makes on you is largely influenced by socio-affective factors. in and of themselves, a ‘basic’ scent with no artistry, depth of development has the potential to woo me to such an extent that i no longer categorise perfumes in ‘good’ and ‘bad’ camps.
there’s ‘like, love or hate’.
this is an example where this has been turned on its head.
we start off with a largely edible citrus opening (edible in that it’s not a lime or lemon, it comes across as an orange or pomelo.
then, we get the soft, candy-musk scent quite prevalent in the arabic oil/attar scene.
then comes the wonderful bitter-sweet ‘something’.
i was loving this ‘something’ that i was getting.
it was awesome.
it was amazing.
i was thinking of getting this.
then, my brain made the connection; the synth oud that amouage uses.
the wonderful bubble-fizz that i get is just the firmenech oud blend / black agar (i mix those two up all the time!) with a gentle citrus.
disappointing.
it smells nice.
i like it.
but it ain’t that special.
i think a perfume needs to amaze you with a “now what is that i can smell?” sensation.
this one, unfortunately, does not.
still nice though. definitely worth a try…

According to the creator Alessandro Gualtiéri, this fragrance evokes the dance festival of Bergamo, a small town in the north of Italy where strange creatures with bare bodies and head adorned with horned masks sweat animality. The bergamot ignites the golden back, burning with a beastly musk.
Bergamask is a passionate, lively, naked, unfiltered perfume in a bottle with an Ethiopian buffalo horn cap circled in metal.
To me, this fragrance is simply amazing if you like citrus fragrances.
I’m wondering why Kumquat is not listed in the ingredients because I recognize it in the smell of the fragrance.
There is no doubt about it.
For me a very good sunny release by Orto Parisi.
Krivbas – :
Starting with a citrus accord where the Bergamot is most present with hints of what I think is mandarin. What strikes me is the large amount of musk and sandalwood that penetrates the fragrance. I believe it is a large overdose of Javanol to be more precise. Probably some other sandal materials too. It is the first Orto Parisi perfume I had the chance to smell and I´m positively surprised. Longevity is good and the sillage is even better but, of course, flattens over time. Looking forward to try out more perfumes in the OP line.

I’m positively sure that I smelled something ( close ) to this one , but I struggling to recall it :- ..
Still , not as good as this one .

“‘Berga’mot is a very fresh citrus fruit. ‘Mask’ to capture the musky odor expelled by a fresh kill.” -The Nose, Alessandro Gualtieri
It is a bergamot with musk fragrance!
Bergamask opens with bergamot, hints of sandalwood. The bergamot is dry. A skanky note joins in, I love the musk on my skin, its my favorite part of Bergamask. As the fragrance develops I smell something herbal and a little sweetness.
The longevity on my skin is great and sillage is soft!!
If you like Alessandro Gualtieri as much as me, you should give this a try.
nero00romchick – :
Why? Why make this fragrance? This is like the most outwardly cynical thing I’ve ever put my nose to. Unromantic, just a navel gazing scent.
To me It smells of bergamot, with a teeny tiny bit of musk and a teeny tiny bit of sandalwood. That is essentially it, but don’t let the price fool you into thinking this is some high quality dainty natural citrus, it is headache inducing junk. Just synthetic twangy nondescript bergamot.
The only positive I can really give this is it’s performance, which is really over the top. If that is your biggest concern, and you really feel like doling out 200 bucks to smell like a bergamot on steroids and HGH, then check out bergamask.
It’s aimlessness is unsettling, I hope that this was just a result of deadlines or something. Nothing in the Nasomatto line is nearly this poor. When I was viewing the ad-copy for this i was imagining an artistic abstraction of bergamot, in the way that CDG often recreates imaginary factory flowers, and I don’t think thats is a bad concept. Sort of creating an imaginary citrus aroma that smells like it fits in with oranges and bergamots but is totally different and modern. Unfortunately that was my imagination filling in gaps and being optimistic because i’ll be damned if this isn’t just bergamot.
Anyway
1.5/10
Cazaam – :
I am not a big fan of bergamott in general but this one when i tried it on was quite pleasent, although i wouldnt make a purchase. The intensity of it comes from the woods added in it and it is quite interesting the way it develops. Lasts long and smells clean. An easy daywear.
6/10
Breatling – :
Bergamask opens with (who would have thought it) bergamot. But it’s a really untypical citrusy fragrance: it’s combined with sandalwoody notes in a nice way.
While the bergamot weakens, the woody and musky (which I perceive only slightly) notes emerge.
It can remain an open question whether the perfumer used natural or (partly) artificial components to create this woody effect but he has done it anyway well. So the backround consisting of sandalwood and musk is done very soft and tender.
The fragrance is definitely worth a try, especially for fans of Alessandro Gualtieri.
ogl986bedyWelty – :
was a blind buy because i like most of Alessandro creation i know i will get something different thatn other citruis fragrances so, did i like it ?
of course was a happy blind buy for me .
it is open with stronge citrus notes bergamote which i smell for mminutes later it is change to dirty musky and amber is there for sure .
first application i thought it is not last and the sillage is poor but i was so wrong about it
second time i was suprise how is it project like a monster and lasdt for a whole day on me .
this fragrance not as usual citruis fragrances it is citruis as Alessandro want not for everyone but if you like Alessandro creation try it.
now after trying all the Orto brand i own all 5 fragrances and all a bottle worthy for me .
smell 8/10
project 10/10
last all the day 10/10

My God Gualtieri, what have you been thinking!!!!
Bergamask, is an absolute disaster, it is not fresh, it is penetrating and annoying!
I like Gualtieri a lot but this one…I can’t see the point.
It smells like an attempt to reproduce a cheap men cologne that has been on clothes for over a week or so.
Not for me
miga200 – :
A drug: at first the scent seemed trivial, then I started to appreciate the drydown, after just an hour I was able to love in the middle of the essence …. I love the great longevity of smoked bergamotd, I love the aroma of dusty musk. Great….a drug.
vladpvo – :
A huge bergamot over a slew of powdery musks and vague white florals. Extremely compressed chemicals (you can tell he’s just layering the same note over and over through different molecules) that create a wall of bergamot with zero character and zero connection to anything natural. Mildly herbal, mildly honeyed, a handful of super-tame musks, but there’s really not much more to it than that. So, picture something like Neroli Portofino with any semblance of naturally-occurring materials removed and replace them with animatronic stand-ins and you’ll get what this is about. It’s probably the most loud bergamot available, and that’s not a good thing. An over-compressed illiterate bergamot train wreck.

IT. Sorprendentemente proprio questo profumo, apparentemente più “convenzionale” della linea provocativa “Orto Parisi” di Alessandro Gualtieri, si sviluppa con l’aggressività animalesca mescolata con l’aroma fresca che ricorda la fioritura di bergamotto. Alessandro propone una descrizione che solo dopo aver provato il profumo uno riesce ad apprezzare la sua precisione: “una danza durante la festa; giornata calda; corpi sudati; una miscela degli odori forti e lo stato d’anima”.
EN. Surprisingly this perfume, seemingly more “conventional” of the provocative line “Orto Parisi” by Alessandro Gualtieri, spreads with animal aggression mixed with the fresh aroma (reminiscent of bergamot blossom). Alexander proposes a description that only after trying the perfume you would appreciate its accuracy: “a dance at the feast, hot day, sweaty bodies, a mix of strong smells and the state of the soul.”
nemo1960 – :
Le parti del corpo che portano più odore sono quelle nelle quali si raccoglie più anima .
I forti odori sono diventati sgradevoli per noi, perché l’eccesso di anima è intollerabile al punto che il nostro animalismo innato è represso e bandito dalla civiltà.
Questo progetto è il mio giardino che ho piantato, concimato, coltivato e raccolto. Orto Parisi afferma che il nostro corpo è vissuto come un giardino, ed i suoi profumi sono un vero specchio della nostra anima.
Citazione di Alessandro Gualtieri
E finalmente, ho potuto esplorare la nuova linea di Alessandro Gualtieri: Orto Parisi grazie all’amico Giovanni Padovan titolare insieme alla moglie Lia Lo Brutto, della storica Antica Profumeria al Sacro Cuore, per ora mi limito a darvi qualche info e a consigliarvi, se avete la possibilità, di andarli ad annusare. Perché sono ben fatti, armoniosi, seducenti, con un gusto per la rotondità e la sensualità tipico della grande profumeria classica, e quindi con note corpose e coinvolgenti (note animali, resine e legni di origine sia naturale che sintetica). Annusandole, si capisce quanto Alessandro sia ormai diverso da qualche anno fa, quando il suo talento era sottolineato dalla voglia di stupire, di provocare. Oggi la provocazione è sempre lì -evidentemente lo diverte- ma è affiancata da una maturità, da una confidenza che non ha bisogno di dimostrare alcunché, e che trova soddisfazione nel rendere omaggio alle proprie radici, ad un nonno molto amato Vincenzo Parisi; l’Orto era, appunto, il suo,concimato personalmente.. .e ,alla sua vita semplice di contadino. Insomma, l’ho riconosciuto “grande” in una maniera che mi ha colpito.
Le fragranze sono proprio belle e testimoniano una vita fatta di odori, sensazioni e gesti antichi, considerati normali fino a qualche decennio fa, e semisconosciuti per noi: Stercus è l’odore caldo e rassicurante delle stalle che ospitano cavalli e mucche ed è senz’altro uno di quegli odori che chi ha avuto la fortuna di conoscerlo da bambino si porta nel cuore per sempre. Viride è l’odore verde e secco dei campi coltivati durante l’estate,una nota freschissima verde di erba e fieno che non svanisce ma si apre diventando poco a poco dolce quasi a ricordare un vetiver, Bergamask,si apre con uno stridio di bergamotto quasi del tutto coprente ,ed al primo impatto puo’ risultare troppo presente poi lentamente evolve diventa caldissimo ,ricorda i profumi dei nostri genitori ,essenze eleganti quelle che si mettevano solo alla domenica per andare alla messa molto elegante.
Boccanera ,parte violentissimo ,ricordandomi le camere fumose ,dove normalmente veniva posto il camino della famiglia e mi ricorda l’odore delle ceneri dei legni utilizzati per riscaldare la cucina ,resinoso animale quanto basta per poi nel passare delle ore ingentilirsi e dare al tutto un tocco soave un profumo che rasserena .
Brutus ,una overture quasi liquorosa di rum invecchiato ,poi ne ritrovo elementi canforati quasi a ricordarmi i vecchi cassetti dove venivano riposti i contenitori in legno dei vecchi orologi e dei pochi oggetti preziosi ,come le catenine e gli anelli che la famiglia si tramandava .
Queste sono le mie sensazioni ,sono profumi molto particolari e ben costruiti ,a distanza di cinque ore ancora stanno evolvendo e sara’ un vero piacere quando i veri esperti ci sveleranno le note di questo meraviglioso progetto.
. Ovviamente sono tutte fragranze indossabilissime, perché la visione estetica di Alessandro sarà pure provocatoria e originale, ma non dimentica mai un assunto fondamentale: che le fragranze devono, soprattutto, essere piacevoli da indossare. E queste lo sono tutte.
Nota a margine, mi piace molto il flacone semplice e morbido, senza frivolezze inutili, e ogniuno ha nel tappo un legno diverso incastonato in quello che sembra ottone,che mi pare rispecchi appieno sia il profumo che contiene, che l’ispirazione di fondo.
Ecco Giovanni come promesso ho tentato la mia personale recensione spero sia attinente e coerente al compito che mi hai affidato .
