Bergamote-Racines

Description

Another of Affinessence’s “diamonds of freshness”. In the beginning was Calabrian bergamot — sumptuous. Then came the sparkling lemon of Italy, then the sweet orange of Brazil. Ginger sharpens the citrus as it opens out, and iced musks stretch the heart into something cool and almost weightless, closer to sorbet than to eau de cologne. To give the whole thing body, Affinessence built an original vegetal lace from fresh fibres and roots — vetiver and carrot underneath, earthy and green, keeping the fruit from simply evaporating. Bright at the top, rooted at the bottom, and far longer-lasting than a citrus has any right to be.
