Beschreibung
001 ist ein klassisches Cologne und startet mit einer prickelnden Note von Bergamotte. In der Herznote verbindet sich Lavendel mit der Sanftheit der Orangenblüte. Ein angenehmer, zarter Nachklang von Moschus findet sich in der Grundnote wieder.
Die Düfte von Bon Parfumeur lassen sich untereinander mischen bzw. „layern“. Dazu kann man, je nach gewünschter Intensität, die in der Produktbeschreibung empfohlene Kombinationsmöglichkeit mit dem eigentlichen Duft übereinander aufsprühen. Dieses Parfum lässt sich besonders gut mit 801 für eine aquatische Note oder mit 201 für eine fruchtige Note kombinieren.

Behind the Fragrance
What is a cologne?
It is said that these fresh fragrances, a firm favorite of men and women alike, were invented by the Italian Giovanni Paolo Feminis in Cologne. Containing aromatics and citrus fruits like lemon, bergamot and mandarin, at the time these refreshingly scented alcoholic solutions were seen as more of a medicine than a refined fragrance. They were miraculous tonics used for their energizing effects. Todays colognes have been reinvigorated to give them enhanced depth, contrasts and wear. Their resurgence shows a search for authenticity and purity.
How are these citrus fruits extracted?
In perfumery, several techniques are used to extract olfactory components from natural ingredients. Those found in citrus fruits are very sensitive to heat and need a gentle touch! This means distillation cant be used to obtain these essential oils. Citrus rinds are covered in little oil-filled sacs, which can be seen with the naked eye. Expression involves using 001 – a sweet floral cologne 001 – a sweet floral cologne orange blossom petit grain bergamot 001 pressure to pierce these tiny bubbles. The mixture is then decanted to collect just the oily portion, which is lighter than water. Like oil and vinegar, two different phases are created. Prior to industrialization, expression was carried out by hand using a very tedious process called sponge-pressing. The rinds of citrus fruits were rubbed with a sponge, which soaked up the oil and juice. It was then wrung out, draining the water and allowing the oil to be collected.
Did you know?
Around 1,500 bergamots are needed to obtain 1 kg (2.2 lbs) of essence! Bergamot has a fresh scent that fluctuates between green and floral-fruity. It makes for a one-of-a-kind beginning but it is also the most versatile of all citrus notes. Coming for the most part from Calabria, Italy, it reveals different notes depending on the plot where it is grown: fresher in the south and more floral in the north. In a way, its similar to wine, where the characteristics of the surrounding land play an important role. The harvest time is also a factor; the start of the season is green and zesty, becoming fruitier toward the end.
