From the world of Acqua di Parma’s Blu Mediterraneo collection, introducing… BERGAMOTTO DI CALABRIA an uplifting, vibrant and sunny new fragrance. Be transported to a natural paradise on the southern shores of Italy’s Calabria region with the newest fragrance from Acqua di Parma’s Blu Mediterraneo collection.

This new creation, and the sixth installment in the Blu Mediterraneo collection, is a tribute to one of Italy’s most beloved natural ingredients, the Bergamot. A type of citrus fruit, the Bergamot’s natural aroma is both bright an effervescent and has played a supporting role in many of the world’s leading perfumes. Acqua di Parma celebrates this important ingredient with a skilfully-facetted composition rotating around two exceptional Bergamot essences, both of which have been protected by the DOP (Domination of Product Origin) by the Bergamot Consortium of Reggio Calabria (a governing agricultural agency). The other ingredients, just as natural and precious, have been selected one by one to highlight the different nuances of actual Bergamot.

Van Cleef & Arpels adds a new facet to its lineage for fall 2009: Collection Extraordinaire is inspired by the exquisite Les Jardins jewelry collection and is a reinterpretation of six extraordinary gardens with perfumes that pay tribute to nature: Gardénia Pétale (Gardenia Petal), Orchidée Vanille (Vanilla Orchid), Lys Carmin (Carmine Lily), Muguet Blanc (White Lily of the Valley), Bois d’Iris (Iris Wood) and Cologne Noire (Black Cologne). The fragrances, detailed below, are $185 each for 75ml and are available exclusively at Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman and Van Cleef & Arpels boutiques.

Gardénia Pétale (Gardenia Petal): A symbol of faithfulness and sincerity, the gardenia is a captivating white flower, exquisite and unafraid of its sensuality. Opulent and warm, gardenia intoxicates the senses and makes heads spin with a touch of freshness that dries down to leave the majestic flower in all its tantalizing glory. The perfumer was inspired by the scented breath of the gardenia, choosing not to emphasize its fruited, white-flower but instead to concentrate on its petals. An enveloping and very feminine fragrance based on floral lightness.

However, it was left unfinished in her lifetime and was gradually forgotten for many years.
