Giardini di Toscana Perfumes – Tuscany in a bottle

Giardini di Toscana: Tuscany in a bottle

Giardini di Toscana, a family story born in 1942 in Bibbiena

The story of Giardini di Toscana fragrances begins in 1942 in Bibbiena, a medieval village in the Casentino, Tuscany. Four generations of the same family have passed down a love of perfume there, through to Silvia Martinelli, co-founder and nose of the contemporary house. Research, development and production remain 100% Italian, as detailed on the official Giardini di Toscana website.

What is the best Giardini di Toscana fragrance?

Bianco Latte is the house's best-seller at Soleil d'Or: a milky gourmand of vanilla, honey and caramel, creamy and enveloping. It is followed by Bora Bora, a sunny escape of tiaré, coconut and vanilla, Celeste, a crystalline freshness of violet and raspberry, Shabby Chic, rose and peony on a creamy wood, and Oro e Miele, a cocoon of honey and almond blossom.

The olfactory signature of Giardini di Toscana

All of the house's creations are composed by Silvia Martinelli, who draws on the gardens and light of Tuscany for legible, generous compositions: vanilla, honey, sunny flowers and soft woods. The palette ranges from unabashed gourmands to aromatic greens such as Verde Respiro or Ricordami.

Who should wear a Giardini di Toscana fragrance, and when?

The house is unisex and designed for everyday wear. The gourmand and floral creations can be worn all year round, while elegant woody ones such as Rosso Rubino gain depth in the colder season. If you love Giardini di Toscana, also explore Profumum Roma, Nobile 1942 and Casamorati, three other Italian houses at Soleil d'Or.

How to choose your Giardini di Toscana fragrance?

Hesitating between Bianco Latte and Bora Bora is perfectly normal: niche perfumery is a deeply personal affair. Our bespoke discovery box, made up of 5 samples of 2 ml of your choice, lets you try them at home before choosing. The house also offers its discovery set of thirteen eaux de parfum in 2 ml and its Layering Kit to compose your own signature. For a guided fitting, our boutique at 22 rue de la Clef in Lille welcomes you.

Giardini di Toscana at Soleil d'Or, a Lille perfumery since 1953

Founded in 1953 by Jeanne Muyllaert on the Grand'Place in Lille, Soleil d'Or is an independent perfumery handed down from generation to generation. Hubert Maes (third generation) made it a benchmark for niche perfumery; today, his daughters Victorine and Apolline Maes (fourth generation) carry on that same high standard at 22 rue de la Clef, Lille (59800). The entire Giardini di Toscana collection is available to try there, with expert advice.
