The Story

Italian Bergamot by Ermenegildo Zegna is a Citrus Aromatic fragrance for men. Italian Bergamot was launched in 2012. Italian Bergamot was created by Pierre Negrin, Frank Voelkl, Harry Fremont and Jacques Cavallier Belletrud. The fragrance features Calabrian bergamot, Neroli, Vetiver and Rosemary. Ermenegildo Zegna is launching a new collection of men’s fragrances - Essenze by Ermenegildo Zegna in collaboration with Estée Lauder Cos. Inc. The collection is expected on the market in December 2012. Five new fragrances embody values of the company - passion, commitment, vision. The fragrances are: Italian Bergamot, Sicilian Mandarin, Javanese Patchouli, Indonesian Oud and Florentine Iris. The designer was inspired by his luxurious high-end men’s Ermenegildo Zegna Couture Collection and hopes it will put forward the house’s name in the world of fragrances. Perfumers who worked on perfumes of the new collection are: Pierre Negrin, Frank Voelkl, Harry Fremont and Jacques Cavallier. All fragrances have one ingredient in common: Calabrian bergamot, but have very different compositions. An interesting fact is that Zegna owns the bergamot harvest used in this collection.Italian Bergamot incorporates Calabrian bergamot oil surrounded by neroli, rosemary and vetiver. The fragrances will be available in 124 ml (4.2 oz) flacons. Each fragrance and its flacon have a different color, to mark the central ingredient of the fragrance.

Born in Germany and trained in France, he brings Germanic precision to French artistry.
