A Masters Class with arguably Florence’s most famous living perfumer

Enter the rarefied world of one of Florence's most celebrated living master perfumers in an exclusive experience that reveals fragrance not simply as a luxury, but as an artistic language, a cultural journey, and an expression of memory. With decades devoted to the pursuit of olfactory excellence, your Maestro is internationally recognised for creating deeply evocative fragrances that transcend conventional perfumery. Working almost entirely by instinct, experience, and an extraordinary sensitivity to natural materials, he has developed a signature style admired by collectors and connoisseurs around the world.

This intimate Masters Class explores the philosophy behind artisan perfume creation, where every ingredient tells a story and every composition is conceived as a living work of art. Guests are introduced to some of the world's most precious raw materials—from rare ouds and ancient tree resins to sacred incense, balsams, spices, precious woods, and botanical extracts—discovering how each evolves, interacts, and transforms over time.

The Maestro's distinctive approach is rooted in a remarkable dialogue between East and West. Drawing inspiration from the rich traditions of Middle Eastern perfumery while remaining deeply connected to Florence's heritage of Renaissance craftsmanship, he creates fragrances that are both timeless and contemporary. The warmth of oud, the mystical character of frankincense and myrrh, and the depth of rare resins are balanced with refined Florentine elegance, resulting in compositions that are richly textured, sophisticated, and profoundly emotional.

Throughout the session, guests gain a unique insight into the creative process behind haute perfumery—how memory, architecture, travel, music, and nature become invisible ingredients within a fragrance. Rather than following formulas or trends, the Maestro demonstrates how intuition, patience, and uncompromising craftsmanship combine to create perfumes with soul and enduring character.

The experience concludes with an opportunity to explore individual scent profiles and appreciate the subtle complexities that distinguish truly artisanal perfume from commercial fragrance. Guests leave with a deeper understanding of perfumery as one of humanity's oldest artistic traditions, and an appreciation for the extraordinary craftsmanship that continues to flourish in Florence through one of its greatest contemporary masters.
