To extract the precious oils, the so-called bergamot sponge method is used. This traditional method is carried out exclusively by hand. First, the fruits are halved, then the pulp is removed with a specially curved knife. The essential oil is collected from the peel by dabbing and pressing it with a sponge. The resulting essence is exquisite and complex, reminiscent of the fruity and floral notes of jasmine.
The Italian collection from Perris
In the search for exquisite materials worldwide, the inspiration for these new releases comes from enchanting Italy. These selections of fragrances showcase the highlights of Capua's citrus fruits. Capua, a small town not far from Naples, has been the center of citrus essential oil production since 1880. Gian Luca Perris, the creative fragrance designer of Perris Monte Carlo, was fascinated by how the latest technologies and traditional methods of oil extraction are combined there. These fragrances are a tribute to Italian citrus fruits, capturing the warmth of the sun's rays and touching the heart. They emphasize the natural character of lemons with hints of cedar, mandarin, and bergamot.
