Pompelmo has taken my olfactory journey inspired to Italian Citruses to the end.
Born in Asia, where considered a sacred fruit to be offered to Gods, Grapefruit, as most citrus fruits, first appeared in Spain, in Seville, around the XII-XIII century during the Arab domination.
Probably, one of the greatest citruses, I particularly appreciate Grapefruit for its bitter flavour.
Unlike sweet scents which I find to be obvious and uninspiring, bitter represents, in my opinion, one of the brightest scents. This may be the result of my Italian background, where several beverages celebrate bitterness.
To make Pompelmo a unique and different fragrance, I have worked on both the lively and sour freshness of Grapefruit, while stressing its bitter scent.

Top notes
Italian Grapefruit, Pink Pepper, Lentisk, Patchouli, Vetiver.

Bergamotto Parfum Cologne

The Master Perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena, inspired by his love for Italy, has created a collection of Parfum Cologne, that are portraits of Italian happiness. Mandarino, Limone and Bergamotto are the fragrances of the collection “Viaggio in Italia”, a journey to Italy, fragrances that are like sunshine in winter.

« Although citrus fruits originate from China, Bergamot is Italian. It is a pity that nobody knows who created it by crossing a lemon tree with a bitter orange: this inventor might have been honoured in the same way as the colleague Clément, who invented the clementine. Italian traders managed to sell Bergamot to the Chinese Market to add fragrance to their second-rate tea, which they sold back to the English Market. I am often asked whether I have olfactory preferences. I have always said I do not, wishing to conceal the manipulations I perform on fragrances, as the work of a perfumer is always that of an illusionist. Yes, I have preferences and they vary according to my needs, my desires. I have passing loves, as well as solid, perennial loves, among which there is my love for bergamot. It was time for me to make that official ». Jean-Claude Ellen
