A fresh citrus perfume in which the bergamot aroma at the core is gently wrapped in soft, musky orange blossom and green neroli.
As always, Perris go for the best materials they can source from around the world. For Bergamotto Di Calabria they acquired special “sponge extraction” bergamot oil from Capua. In this region the traditional artisans still perform the extraction manually. Each fruit is sliced in half, the pulp removed, and the rind pressed on a natural sponge in a circular motion to collect the essence. The bergamot rind extract obtained with this method has the most delicate and complex aroma, with a hint of jasmine.
The blend also contains orange blossom absolute from the Italian Capua, Paraguaian petitgrain (the distillation of the twigs from the bitter orange tree), pepper from Timor Island, Moroccan neroli, and Haitian vetiver.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
An unhurried morning with the windows open and the day’s work still ahead. Bergamot and leafy petitgrain bring alertness, while orange blossom softens the impression at close range: a composed presence that feels attentive rather than formal.
How to wear
A natural choice for spring and warm weather, when its citrus and green facets can feel especially vivid. Start with two or three sprays on the neck and forearms, leaving the skin uncovered to let the bergamot opening lift into the air. The floral, musky and vetiver facets provide a softer counterweight as the citrus settles.
Who it’s for
For those who enjoy citrus with botanical detail rather than sugary sweetness. Its green neroli, softly musky orange blossom and vetiver will appeal to lovers of cologne-like brightness who want a more textured floral foundation.

The nose
Gian Luca Perris and Luca Maffei. Perris combines creative direction with a close interest in raw materials and extraction techniques; here, he developed the initial formula around traditionally extracted bergamot oil. Maffei, an Italian perfumer whose work spans luminous citrus, textured woods and rich gourmand compositions, subsequently rebalanced it. The fragrance is their joint creation.
Collaborators
Gian Luca Perris established the ingredient-led concept and composed the initial formula, while Luca Maffei refined its balance. Citrus specialist Capua 1880 collaborated on the raw-material foundation, supplying the traditionally extracted bergamot sponge oil at the heart of the fragrance.
Perris Monte Carlo’s story
Perris Monte Carlo defines luxury through craftsmanship and the quality of its ingredients rather than outward display. Its fragrances explore distinctive raw materials, pairing respect for traditional extraction methods with contemporary formulation and technical innovation.
Bergamotto di Calabria’s concept
Bergamotto di Calabria began with Italian citrus materials and Capua 1880’s traditionally produced bergamot sponge oil. The peel is worked against a natural sponge after the pulp is removed, collecting its aromatic essence. Perris and Maffei sought to preserve that material’s delicacy while giving bergamot a more persistent, energetic expression within the house’s Italy Collection.
Extra info
At launch, Gian Luca Perris described the original citrus trio as having a 15% fragrance concentration. He also said that sponge-quality bergamot oil represented 30% of this fragrance’s formula—a separate figure referring to one ingredient, not the finished perfume’s concentration.
