Snouf Academy | Curator: Fabio Meloni
The Fragrance Agora, curated by Fabio Meloni, is a space for dialogue and inspiration where perfume experts engage with artists, writers, doctors, and scientists. A continuous program of workshops, talks, and debates unfolds day by day, exploring fragrance as a cultural, scientific, and sensory language.
The first three days will be open to enthusiasts and curious visitors, while Monday the 23rd will be reserved exclusively for industry professionals.
Snouf Academy | Curator: Fabio Meloni
We explore the beating heart of perfumery: matter itself. In a world rushing toward the virtual, we return to the earth, to extraction and self-production, but through a new lens.
Technology is not a limitation, but a tool to certify quality and make the origin of fragrance finally transparent and digital.
