Acqua Di Parma Bergamotto La Spugnatura EdP Limited Edition

Bergamotto di Calabria La Spugnatura is a limited summer edition of Acqua di Parma’s popular Bergamotto di Calabria EdT from the Blu Mediterraneo collection, inspired by the Mediterranean and the beautiful bergamot fields of Calabria.

The major difference compared to the original Bergamotto di Calabria EdT is the rare and demanding extraction process known as “La Spugnatura”, practised by only a handful of artisans worldwide. The bergamot fruits are cut in half and separated from the peel, after which the peels are gently pressed onto natural sea sponges that absorb the fruit essence. These sponges are then squeezed into terracotta jars. The result is a bright and luminous bergamot that enhances the purity and character of the citrus notes.

Bergamotto di Calabria La Spugnatura opens with sweet and soft bergamot blended with mandarin, grapefruit and bitter orange. The heart is floral and green with spicy nuances, while the base is woody with cedarwood and vetiver, softened by a subtly powdery woody amber accord that gives the fragrance depth and strength.

Blu Mediterraneo Bergamotto di Calabria La Spugnatura is an aromatic and elegant reinterpretation of bergamot that celebrates the ancient La Spugnatura tradition – a powerfully fresh and complex composition created for summer outings and outdoor dining. The fragrance is presented in a beautifully designed handmade porcelain bottle adorned with white and gold bergamot motifs.
