We are in Rome in the 1950s. We imagine Vespas, girls with long, flowing skirts and tiger-coloured sunglasses and men like Mastroianni in "La Dolce Vita". We imagine well. That was the environment in which the Lembo family moved.

The Lembos had a small perfumery in the centre of Rome. There they sold historic brands such as Guerlain, Penhaligon's, Chanel, Lanvin to a clientele eager to smell good, very good.

This is the environment in which Maurizio Lembo grew up. It was inevitable that he would decide to launch his own fragrance brand and want to reproduce what he had seen and smelled as a young man. He launched Officina delle Essenze in 2001 with clear inspiration from his family's shop.

With his fragrances he wanted to unite ideas that he had seen at home (and in Italy) since he was a child, such as craftsmanship and luxury. He wanted to transmit well-being through his perfumes and colognes and that when someone wore them they would feel that emotion that is always awakened by something made with delicacy.

From all the fragrances of Officina delle Essenze we have chosen a line  which is, just like that,  a great generator of well-being. Puro Lino, Puro Talco, Puro Neroli... are clean, with personality and perfect examples of Made in Italy. Who can resist.
