The roots of modern perfumery lie in Italy, where already in the 14th century aqua admirabilis, later known as cologne, marked the dawn of the perfume era in Europe.

Particularly relevant was the role of Venice, which, exploiting its position as a commercial hub for spices and raw materials from the East, emerged as a fulcrum in the production of high quality perfumes intended for the aristocracy. Here, the famous Murano glassworks were instrumental in providing refined containers for these fragrances.

Caterina de' Medici had a decisive impact on the spread of Italian perfumery in Europe, bringing her personal perfumer, Renato Bianco, with her to Paris and introducing the use of perfumes to the French court.

Today, Italy continues to excel in creation of high quality fragrances, preserving a tradition that has evolved without losing its historical charm. Furthermore, Italy, with its breathtaking landscapes, has inspired numerous international perfume creators, which have captured in their essences the rich characteristic aromas of the country.
