19-69 – Swedish artist, photographer, and product designer Johan Bergelin’s tagline is “Bottling Counterculture.” The year 1969 represents an era of freedom, tolerance, and counterculture – and the year he was born. Bergelin rejects gendering fragrance – all his scents are “for any gender.”

Multilayered creations that are often incredibly complicated but represent a passionate green statement.

Acqua Delle Langhe – Acqua delle Langhe comes from an extraordinary land that exports distinctive wine excellences.

Francesca Bianchi – Constant research combined with quality raw materials and a passion for contrasts: this is Francesca Bianchi’s signature, who in her laboratory in Amsterdam designs a biting and at the same time cultured collection of fragrances.

A dedication to the contrast between Beauty and Terror expressed in William Blake’s The Tyger.

Gabriella Chieffo – Throughout the 2022 Collection, there is an emphasis on resilience, the ability to overcome pain in order to be able to face everyday life successfully.
