Born in the city that gave the world the art of perfumery, Antiqua Florence is an artisan fragrance house rooted in the centuries-old tradition of Florentine perfumery — a tradition that traces its origins to the 1300s and reached the courts of Europe through the legendary Catherine de' Medici. Founded by master perfumer Enzo Galardi, who grew up in his grandfather's artisan fragrance laboratory learning to recognise each note and mastering the secrets of traditional technique, Antiqua Florence is the result of a deeply personal and historical journey. The house blends the excellence of rare raw materials, processed with the utmost respect for their natural properties, with a modern sensibility free from unnecessary excess. Each fragrance is born in an artisan workshop where the world's most precious ingredients are transformed into works of art — carrying an echo of the great Kings and Queens of the past, and the magnificence of Florence with every wear.
