Sulmona Essenza tells the authentic story of a determined woman who transformed a childhood memory into a unique olfactory creation. Born in 2008 from the meeting of memory, passion, and a deep love for her homeland, this fragrance captures the soul of Sulmona, an elegant town in Abruzzo renowned for being the birthplace of the poet Ovidio and for its historic tradition of sugar-coated almonds.

Sulmona Essenza is the one and only original confetto-inspired perfume from Sulmona. It does not follow fashions or trends, nor does it belong to time. It is discreet, never excessive, with a slightly childlike soul. It evokes purity, elegance, and a subtle sensuality. It is a fragrance that wishes to be discovered by those who can truly appreciate its delicacy and identity — ingenuously provocative, feminine, and refined.

“As a child, when leaving the confectionery shops, I loved the feeling of being wrapped in the scent of almond and vanilla, though only for a very short time. Always searching for a fragrance that could bring back that memory, I was never able to fully satisfy it until I realized that only I could recreate it. With patience and determination, I devoted every spare moment to fulfilling this dream — to encapsulate in a perfume the soul of my city: Sulmona Essenza.”
