Acqua di Parma presented in 2021 Bergamotto di Calabria La Spugnatura Limited Edition, a fragrance that encapsulates the essence of Calabrian bergamot through artisanal craftsmanship and natural richness. Originating from the old sponging technique, a traditional method practiced by Calabrian artisans, the fragrance is created through manual extraction of bergamot essence by rubbing the fruit on sea sponges. This meticulous process, requiring precise gestures, yields a limited but uniquely rich essence.
Fragrance
The fragrance’s olfactory pyramid is a symphony of notes, including mandarin, orange, grapefruit, ferula, and geranium, enhancing the multifaceted aroma of bergamot.
Packaging
Designed by Matiz Barcelona, the porcelain bottle embodies both craftsmanship and sustainability, featuring a deep blue hue achieved through careful production techniques.
On the blue background, the golden bergamot fruits stand out as white and golden strokes, faithfully reproducing the original watercolor illustration from the creative team.
The packaging echoes the brand’s commitment to sustainability, with the cylindrical box wrapped in FSC certified paper, and labels made from waste powder from marble quarries. Bergamotto di Calabria La Spugnatura Limited Edition is a celebration of human ingenuity and the natural world, offering an exquisite olfactory experience coupled with meticulous craftsmanship.
