Viaggio in Italia Limone – Eau de Cologne

Laboratorio Olfattivo - Viaggio in Italia - LIMONE - Eau de Cologne

Inspired by his love for Italy, renowned perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena has created a collection of eaux de parfums that capture the joy of Italy. Mandarino, Limone, Bergamotto, Arancia Rossa and Pompelmo are the fragrances of this collection called "Viaggio in Italia", a journey through Italy whose scents are like a breath of sunshine in winter.

"The origin of LIMONE by Laboratorio Olfattivo lies in one of my journeys along the Amalfi Coast. The narrow coastal road winds its way along the shore, which reflects the blue of the Mediterranean. Around every bend, the landscape unfolds with new surprises. The terraced hillsides are carefully planted with citrus trees, a loving testimony to man's dialogue with nature. The bright yellow of the lemons stands out against the deep blue of the stone walls, creating a scene of irresistible beauty. In this contrast of vibrant yellow and noble blue, I found the inspiration for a new Eau de Cologne that is both unique and aristocratic."  His composition combines Italian lemon with notes of ginger and orange, rounded off with white moschus.

Jean-Claude Ellena began his career in perfumery as an apprentice at a small company in Grasse, before gaining more extensive experience at companies such as Givaudan and later Sisley. His breakthrough came in the 1970s, when he began working for major fashion and fragrance brands. One of his most famous roles was as house perfumer for Hermès from 2004 to 2016. During his time at Hermès, he created many of the house's iconic fragrances, including Terre d'Hermès, Un Jardin sur le Nil and many others in the Un Jardin series. These fragrances are known for their fresh and transparent quality, with Ellena's signature. Ellena's approach to perfumery has often been described as intellectual and highly creative. He is known for using a limited number of ingredients to create very clear and precise fragrances, often inspired by nature and personal memories. His work is characterised by a great attention to detail and a strong emphasis on the art of olfactory composition.
