Elisabetta Grillo is an entrepreneur and the founder of Redess, an innovative company focused on research and product development based on sumac (Rhus coriaria), an aromatic Mediterranean plant known for its antioxidant and functional properties.

Through Redess, Elisabetta Grillo has developed the first certified organic sumac supply chain in Italy and Europe, a project that combines agriculture, scientific research, and the development of new ingredients for multiple sectors, including food, cosmetics, and wellness industries.

The company’s work is distinguished by an interdisciplinary approach that blends Mediterranean botanical traditions with technological innovation, collaborating with universities and research institutions to explore the potential of sumac as a high-value natural ingredient.

Within the broader context of perfumery and olfactory culture, research on aromatic botanical raw materials plays a key role in understanding the relationship between nature, fragrance, and sensory perception. Elisabetta Grillo’s work therefore offers a unique perspective on the importance of natural ingredients and sustainable supply chains in the innovation processes that also influence modern fragrance and cosmetic industries.

During Snouf – Fragrance Niche Event, Elisabetta Grillo will join the program of talks dedicated to perfume culture, sharing her entrepreneurial and scientific perspective on the development of natural raw materials and sustainable botanical ingredients relevant to contemporary perfumery and cosmetics.
