Nice Bergamote ExtraitGourmand Citrus Extrait de Parfum

Nice Bergamote Extrait by Essential Parfums is a niche citrus, gourmand, and floral perfume extract, unisex, created by Antoine Maisondieu. It is the nighttime counterpart of the eau de parfum.

The perfumer takes center stage

Essential Parfums is a Parisian house founded in 2018 by Géraldine Archambault, which turns conventional logic on its head: the perfumer's name is on the bottle, and the creation takes precedence over the packaging. Its philosophy can be summed up in one sentence: "simplicity as the ultimate luxury". The house gives every nose the same brief: create a unisex fragrance around an inspiring natural raw material — in this case, bergamot. Its formulas are vegan and contain up to 93% ingredients of natural origin. This extract is concentrated at 32%, which is double the concentration of the eau de parfum. 30 ml bottle.

An opening of Italian bergamot and bitter orange

Italian bergamot opens with a zesty, luminous quality, while bitter orange adds a distinctly tart edge. Only two citrus fruits, but denser than in the eau de parfum.

A heart of jasmine sambac and ylang-ylang

Jasmine sambac brings its creamy whiteness, while ylang-ylang adds its sun-drenched facets. This is where the extract differs most from the original.

A base of cedar, patchouli, and tonka bean

Cedar provides a smooth woodiness, while patchouli adds an earthy root note. Tonka bean, vanilla, and an amber sugar accord create a velvety, long-lasting trail.

The house's signature touch

The same light, seen at night. Doubling the concentration does not make a perfume "stronger": it rewrites its balance — and here, the formula has changed along with it. Bitter orange deepens the opening, while jasmine sambac and ylang-ylang hold onto the citrus notes instead of letting them fade, before tonka bean and amber sugar preserve them in sugar. A sun-drenched citrus fragrance becomes a gourmand fragrance for the night, without changing fragrance family.

For whom, and for what occasions?

Citrus, gourmand, and floral, this extract is for those who already love the eau de parfum and are looking for its evening counterpart. Apply sparingly, preferably in the evening, and enjoy it as both women and men.

With Nice Bergamote Extrait Essential Parfums, a sun-drenched citrus fragrance transitions from day to night.
