WOMENS FRAGRANCE
OFFICINA DELLE ESSENZE
Out of our five senses, the smell is undoubtedly the most
significant one. The aroma tells us a lot about a person and
his or her personality. Fragrances have the power to render an
individual or environment unique and this special feature inspires
Officina delle Essenze to make own creations. This is a story of
a small perfumery in the heart of Rome that became a familyowned
business and made an absolute value out of Made in Italy.
HISTORY
It all begins in the 50s, the Lembo family has a perfumery among
the streets of central Rome. We are in a full economic boom,
middle-class ladies do handicraft shopping and first small cars cross
Bel paese. There is still the scent of Dolce Vita in the air, the Fiat
Cinquecento is a status symbol and Italy feels the eyes of the world.
Foreigners admire Cinecittà Studios and ask for Italian products,
unique in their quality and style. Shortly after the creative spirit of
the time, made of intuition, luxury and uniqueness, will be exported
all over the world under the name of Made in Italy.
