Hesperides fresh perfume3/27/2023 To produce one kilo of essence or essential oil, 1,500 kg of fruit are needed. These bergaptens are now removed from bergamot essence and all other citrus fruits. Phototoxic components, such as bergaptens, tended to cause numerous spots on the skin (especially when the essence had been incorporated into sunscreen products such as Bergasol). This essence is then processed and its colour changes from dark green to pale yellow. The final product is dark green, with a delicious and very facetted sme ll (cf. The juice of the bergamots, called essence or essential oil, is then rejected from these presses (called machina). The zest of fresh, almost ripe bergamot is extracted cold, using huge presses. This fruit is the result of a natural cross between the lemon tree and the bitter orange tree. The pulp is not eaten because it is too bitter, only the bergamot peel is used in perfumery. It produces bergamots, a fruit with a greenish almost yellow skin. This citrus fruit comes from the bergamot tree, a tree that has been cultivated for 600 years in Calabria (in the region of Reggio di Calabria), in the south of Italy. It is also said that the bergamot takes its name from the city of Bergamo where it was originally grown. The name bergamot comes from the Turkish "beg-armûdi" meaning "lord's pear". Here are the main citrus fruits belonging to the citrus facet used in perfumes: The citrus notes are all produced from the essential oils contained in the zest of the fruit. This facet can also be called citrus facet in other classifications. The latter brings together all the citrus notes that are so characteristic of their freshness and dynamism. This Greek legend gave the name to the citrus facet. This fabulous orchard hid in its bosom golden apples (oranges) representing immortality and fecundity, fiercely guarded by the dragon with a hundred heads, the hesperides that Heracles then stole. The hesperides take their name from the three nymphs, daughters of atlases and Hesperis, who were charged with watching over the garden of the gods. The fruity notes give a different olfactory effect to the fragrance. The citrus notes are composed of citrus fruits and should not be confused with the fruity notes (peach, apple, pear, and red fruits, among others). The citrus facet becomes the main theme and thus determines the family to which the perfume belongs.Ĭitrus, such as lemon, bergamot, orange or grapefruit, give the first impression of the perfume, also called the smile or the flight, it provides fresh and invigorating scents. The citrus facet dresses fragrances for both men and women and is found in greater quantities in eaux de Cologne or eaux fraîches. It is volatile, therefore not very tenacious and gives a smile to the perfume. The citrus facet is present in almost all perfumes. The citrus family also known as the hesperide family, is the oldest family in perfumery. Indeed, the notes interlock with each other, respond and sublimate each other. This scheme seems simple and educational, but in reality it is much more complex than it appears. Above all, it represents a set of notes chosen for their ephemeral or, on the contrary, tenacious side.Ī fragrance is very often represented in the form of an olfactory pyramid, where top notes are on the top, the heart notes are in the middle and the base notes are on the bottom of the pyramid. Indeed, a perfume is complex, refined and delicate. The olfactory pyramid and the citrus facetĪlthough perfumes tend to evoke dreams and emotions, it is important to know that they are nevertheless based on advanced scientific and physical notions. The accord, or main theme, can be dressed in several facets (the more facets there are, the greater the complexity of the perfume is), including the citrus facet. The main accord will define the essence of the perfume, its soul, and will classify the fragrances by olfactory families (according to the Comité Français du Parfum - CFP): Each fragrance is made up of various components that form an accord.
