Perfumery Collection was born from the desire to share Gianfranco Radice's extraordinary collection of 20th-century perfumery objects.
Born in 1939, Gianfranco has dedicated an entire lifetime to the world of perfumery, building over the years a collection born of passion, research and expertise. A unique heritage made up of vintage collector's perfumes, historic bottles, original editions, powders, perfumery objects and fragrances that trace the evolution of the art of perfumery from the origins of modern perfumery to the great houses of the 20th century.
Each piece in the collection is far more than a simple personal care product: it represents the reflection of an era, a culture, and the creativity of the great Maisons and independent ventures that helped write the history of perfumery. Many of these vintage perfumes, now rare or discontinued, retain original formulations, unique compositions and olfactory structures rarely found in contemporary production, making them authentic testimonies to the fragrances of the past.
Perfumery Collection was created with the goal of preserving, documenting and celebrating this extraordinary heritage through a collection of rare perfumes, vintage bottles, historic objects and limited editions. It is a project dedicated to those who love perfume collecting and wish to rediscover the historical, artistic and cultural value of creations that have marked entire generations.
Each piece is selected not only for its contents, but also for what it represents in terms of design, art and the history of perfumery. The shapes of the bottles, the materials, the packaging, and the collaborations with artists and designers tell the story of how taste, style and fragrance communication have evolved over the decades. Many of these bottles are true miniature works of art, capable of capturing the aesthetic trends and culture of their time.
The collection includes creations from some of the most prestigious Maisons in the history of perfumery, alongside Italian and international brands that helped shape the identity of 20th-century perfumery. Each object stands as a precious testament to the evolution of the industry and the ongoing creative research that has defined this world.
Today, Perfumery Collection shares this experience and heritage with enthusiasts and collectors through a project that combines education, research and the online sale of selected vintage collector's perfumes and perfumery objects. A point of reference for those who wish to rediscover the charm of rare creations, preserve their memory, and pass on their value to future generations.
