Italian Niche Perfumes: the Best Artisan Fragrances

Italian niche perfumes are in essence an olfactory poetics, they are artistic and artisanal perfumes that are characterized by constant research and continuous study of the
raw materials, which are selected from around the world and put together in unconventional ways.

The best handcrafted fragrances are the result of the inspiration of great
master perfumers
who offer their noses for the creation of skin jewelry, fragrance drops
unique and eternal, characterized by great permanence and strong individuality.

Niche perfumes are a journey through memories; they are genuine and simple as they are aimed at enhancing the personality of the wearer.

Niche Perfumes: What Are They?

Also called “Artistic Perfumes,” niche perfumes are exclusive perfumes that do not follow the logic of fashion or the market and, therefore, are eternal.

These are handcrafted perfumes created with refined and precious raw materials, blended together in unique and often unusual ways, which is precisely why they have little to do with ordinary fragrances.

Niche perfume is an artistic act and not pure and simple commerce.
Niche fragrances need to be welcomed in intimate, cozy settings, such as our Boutique Bottega di Sguardi in Florence ‘s Via del Parione 54r, where a staff
expert is ready to welcome you for a very personal journey through the olfactory notes of
Profumum Roma
.

Italian Niche Perfumes: the History of Profumum Roma

The story of the niche perfume Profumum Roma, is a story of love, memories, encounters and dreams, as the fragrances of this now world-famous brand are
olfactory hallucinations, evocations capable of taking us anywhere … “north of any south, east of any west …”

Immediately after World War II, two young lovers set out from a small town named St. Helena for Rome, and thus began to write their
history in a small Roman store where they displayed shaving soap sold by the pound, hair lotions and a few colognes, and eventually became the most important perfumers in the Eternal City.

But it was in 1996 that the Durante brothers created Profumum Roma, and their first creation was their best-selling Salt Water.

How to choose a Niche Perfume?

A question many customers ask us is “how to choose a niche perfume.”

Assuming that Profum Roma’s fragrances are journeys ofself-discovery, we must let ourselves be carried away by the emotions that a scent can evoke in us, pay attention to the feelings, desires, emotions or déjà vu that such an aroma arouses in us.

How do we know we have found our very own personal scent? We immediately feel intoxicated by a swirl of emotions that envelop us like honey, making us experience a moment of enviable well-being.

This is precisely the peculiarity of Profumum Roma, its ability to describe us, identify us and rekindle memories we thought were lost.

Persistent Niche Fragrances: Which Fragrances to Choose?

A widespread phenomenon among craft fragrances is precisely thatniche fragrances are persistent.

Profumum Roma’s fragrances are composed of a very high percentage ofessential oils , unlike most perfumes on the market, which results in their enviable persistence.

However, we must consider an additional determining factor for the longevity of the fragrance on one’s skin, and this is precisely the ph of the skin itself, that is, the acidity of the skin, which affects and alters the persistence and thus the perception of the fragrance.

In fact, this is a topic that even more helps us to understand whether or not we have found our perfume from Profumum Roma, because when we have found our essence, the one that most represents us, it will combine perfectly with our skin, returning electrifying emotions.

Here in Florence, we at Bottega di Sguardi are able to accompany you on this magnificent adventure in search of yourself , the scent that best represents you.
