Aftelier Perfumes launches Bergamoss solid perfume by Mandy Aftel. Bergamoss features the sumptuous marriage of oakmoss, with its aromas of the wet forest floor, and the bright freshness of bergamot. It harkens back to the substantial and transporting chypres of old. “I was after a particular kind of chypre — one that was both rich and fresh, bright and heavy, sweet and loamy”.
Bergamoss solid perfume is made in a base of organic unfiltered beeswax and organic jojoba oil. It is available in a one-quarter ounce sterling silver compact ($240), and in a one-quarter ml sample ($6) at www.aftelier.com.
