About us
Summer of 2016, Rome’s Trastevere district, and a game of chess with an unusual stranger sparked an unexpected journey that would soon blossom into a passion and forever shape our destiny.
In front of the building where we stayed, an older gentleman radiated elegance and unassuming confidence as he gazed at the chessboard in front of him. After finishing his game, he invited us to test our skills, but his mastery quickly outmatched us.
As we watched the moves he made on the chessboard, we couldn’t help but wonder—was every move a part of a larger strategy for life? Were those moves, much like the strategies he crafted in silence, shaping both his destiny and his story?
Noticing our admiration, he smiled and said:
“In chess, you must have a plan. You must know exactly what you aim to achieve with every move, and that’s why every move must be the right one, made at the right moment…
…just like the perfume you’re wearing now—pleasant, subtle, ideal for this time and occasion.”
Those words set our thoughts in motion and opened the door to a world we never dreamed of.
A Journey into the World of Fragrance
We soon discovered that this extraordinary man was not just a master strategist but also a gifted artist who created refined fragrances for his own pleasure. He invited us to his attic studio, a treasure trove of scents we couldn’t even imagine.
When he opened the door, the scent of rose—deep and tender—enveloped us like a breeze on a Roman summer evening. At that moment, we realized that scents could tell stories words could never describe.
His studio resembled an ancient alchemical laboratory. The shelves, like a gallery of masterpieces, were filled with bottles that gleamed like jewels. Each fragrance revealed a story, but only to those ready to listen. Moving through his studio, his every gesture exuded elegance—his linen shirt, slightly creased from the summer heat, his confident movements, and his passionate stories about fragrances spoke of a life immersed in art, philosophy, and a profound understanding of beauty.
As we left his studio, one moment remained etched in our memory. He looked at us, smiling softly, and said:
“Remember, perfumes are not made for the market… because that’s how they lose their soul.
Perfumes are made for the hearts of those who seek eternity in a single moment.”
These words became the foundation of our work and vision.
The Birth of BARGOT
In 2020, we founded BARGOT. For years, we patiently honed our craft, dedicating ourselves to creating for clients around the world. That same year, our first two fragrances were born, meticulously refined through years of relentless effort and devotion. These two fragrances were finally launched in 2025 as a celebration of our journey and commitment to excellence.
Our fragrances, crafted in the quiet of long nights and inspired by a life-changing encounter, are not just perfumes. They are a tribute to vision, passion, and the art of connecting people through olfactory experiences.
For the name of our brand, we chose “BARGOT,” an acronym of the name Bardomiano Gotto, to honor the man who introduced us to the enchanting world of perfumery.
BARGOT is an invitation to a world where precision meets passion, where elegance endures, and where every fragrance becomes your personal signature.
Perfumes as the Perfect Move
Every note—from the refreshing hues of citrus to the opulent warmth of vanilla and sandalwood—is carefully crafted, much like the moves master players make on the chessboard of life, with passion and precision.
When you wear BARGOT, you’re not just wearing a perfume. You’re wearing a story, a philosophy, and an art form. You become part of a world where sophistication and elegance meet courage and power. You wear a crown with which, like a king or queen, you make bold decisions that shape your destiny and the destinies of those around you.
BARGOT is for those who reign, for those who run boldly toward life, and who know how to turn every moment into eternity.
Each BARGOT fragrance tells a story, but only you decide how it will end.
