After several months of pandemic our desire to travel has grown. And today more than ever we can travel in our splendid Italy thanks to the new fragrances of Laboratorio Olfattivo .
Master perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena , inspired by his love for Italy, has created three different fragrances, as a portrait of Italian happiness. The collection “Viaggio in Italia by Jean-Claude Ellena”, is an olfactory itinerary that evokes the sunlight even in winter and the smells…the flavors…the colors of our ancient land with great cultural beauty. Three are the citrus fruits that represent our Italy.
Mandarin is the first fragrance created for this collection. The master perfumer says, “It is the most joyful of all citrus fruits. When I want to give my fragrances a radiant smile (which I often do) I use mandarin essence. You can wear it alone but it is also compatible with any other fragrance, to which it gives the smile you would like to accompany you throughout the day. And as if that were not enough, it lasts a long time. So smile!”
Our journey continues and we meet Limone , with its ginger, orange leaves, lemon and white moss. At every turn we make, the landscape is able to surprise. Understanding and respecting the magic of nature, in Italy men and women have built terraces to lovingly cultivate lemon trees. It is impossible to resist the beauty of these places, where the lemon yellow stands out against the copper blue of the stone walls. 
At the end of our olfactory journey, Bergamot awaits us. Master perfumer Ellena says, “If other citrus fruits originate from China, Bergamot is Italian. It is a real shame not to know the author of its birth, the one who crossed a Lemon tree with a Bitter Orange tree.” Italian traders went so far as to sell Bergamot to the Chinese to flavor their second-rate tea, which they then resold to the English.
A discovery of colors and smells that evokes all the wonder of our country.
