description
Jean-Claude Ellena has once again sublimated the main material of this olfactory composition The Different Company: bergamot. The perfumer wanted to build a deep and long-lasting trail from a material that is typically associated with colognes, with a light scent. Bergamot is combined with ginger and rhubarb, as well as cedar and musk to reinforce its character. Orange blossom accentuates the sweetness of this resolutely citrusy fragrance, while green notes add a touch of freshness. Jean-Claude Ellena succeeds in this composition to give glory to one of the most iconic raw materials of perfumery that is found along the Mediterranean coast for several centuries.

nose reviews

A true ode to bergamot, a note from Calabria that is the iconic ingredient of colognes. Once put on skin, the fragrance reveals a fresh and citrusy accord enhanced by ginger, with a gourmand facet brought by orange blossom. The fragrance surprises us when we discover the scent of rhubarb and musk, which prolongs the hold. A masterful composition that pays tribute to the most noble colognes while presenting a powerful hold and surprising fruity facets.

A perfect balance between fresh bergamot, a very musky base and light spicy notes.

journalist opinion

Those who only know him by his reputation, readily believe that Jean-Claude Ellena composes "minimalist and evanescent" perfumes. The man from Grasse, apostle of the olfactory illusion, demonstrates the opposite with this creation which is finally anything but a solinote (Bergamote, the pretty name, also minimalist, is one of these false leads that he likes). From a raw material that belongs to the mythology of cologne, the perfumer has managed to create a trail of luminous warmth structured around orange blossom and rhubarb, chaperoned by a generous dose of cottony musk. On the skin, Bergamot reveals itself to be a "winter water" radiating warmth and sensuality, the memory of which lasts long enough on the skin. Everything we didn't expect in the end.

The Different Company

Representing the high contemporary perfumery by imagining exceptional fragrances contained in artworks. That's the direction the perfumer Jean Claude Ellena, who created most of the Hermès fragrances, and the designer Thierry De Baschmakoff decided to take in 2000 by founding The Different Company, a new path towards olfactory perfection.
