The Bergamot achieved its first success<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

in France, in the magnificent setting of Louis XIV\u2019s court at Versailles. A Sicilian gentleman, Francesco Procopio, who was either from Palermo or the province of Catania, presented himself at the palace together with some copper phials containing a mysterious liquid with a very strong scent. The amber-coloured solution was in fact a concentrate derived from a citrus fruit he had discovered after travelling across the Straits of Messina.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n\n \"\"\n \n
\n \n

\n This was the start of his good fortune. Bergamot<\/b> water, as this mysterious liquid was known, intoxicated and delighted all who were present. There were about 15,000 people at the court of Versailles<\/b> at that time, including nobles, dames, courtiers and servants: a phenomenal audience for an equally extraordinary debut. <\/p>\n <\/span>\n \n

\n In fact, Bergamot water proved to have exceptional cleansing properties, offering a solution for the problems caused by a contemporary ban on the use of water for washing, which the medical profession of the time blamed for the spread of plagues and other infections. <\/p>\n <\/span>\n \n

\n The miraculous liquid lent the royal residence a new and unusual freshness, and a healthy atmosphere more in keeping with the grandeur of the location. <\/p>\n <\/span>\n \n\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Bergamot water quickly replaced the strong, spicy scents.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/a>\n \n
