“The embarrassment of choise” by Beatrice Brandini

Banner FRAGRANZE

“It’s the basic, unforgettable, unseen, fashionable accessory that anticipates your arrival and prolongs your departure.” So Coco Chanel called the perfume.

At Leopolda Station every year in September goes to Pitti Fragranze, the appointment for the top names of global artistic perfume, for the most important noses and for the operators of the best perfume boutiques, Italian and international.

It is not wrong or exaggerated to use the term boutiques as these perfumes, their essences, their formulas, the alchemies to create them, just like their envelopes, precious bottles and extraordinary packaging, are entitled to a special place as if they were small but precious works of art.

There are 220 brands in Leopolda from all over the world. Testimony of what we could call artistic perfume.

ESSENSES The House of Oud. Collaboration between an Italian Maestro Perfumery and a Jakarta Producer. Both lovers of art, travel and of course perfumes. Beautiful these bottles, almost Fabergé’s eggs.

KAON Profumo Beaufort London. Marine tradition for creating a very evocative fragrance.

UNSCENT Fragrance is what you are. An artistic installation born of the collaboration between Toshy, a Dutch artist combining art and beauty, and Celso Fadelli, prominent personality in the field of artistic fragrances, as well as CEO of Intertrade Group, high perfume and art. The result is always very impressive.

SOOUD, lacquered flasks that leave a small transparent glass slit in the central part, like the niqab, the veil that lets you see only the eyes of the wearer. Oriental contamination, style and fragrances, very sensual and intriguing.

Francesca Bianchi. Create your own scents (in a lab in Amsterdam) personally, and in a completely crafted way. A degree in art history makes everything easier, in what I would say to be a natural artistic inclination.

GABRIELLA CHIEFFO. Another interesting Italian reality, authentic fragrances, artistic installations where the perfume becomes the protagonist.

ATELIER OBLIQUE. Wonderful and fragrant candles, made by hand. It all comes from the creative and refined mind of Mario Lombardo.

Visiting Pitti Fragranze is like entering a magical garden, scents are everywhere. But, above all, reading the stories of some of the many exhibitors you know that is commitment and research, passion and work, to make their creations special. Talking “only” of perfumes can not suffice…

Good life to everyone!
