Paolo Gigli is a Florentine luxury fragrance house with roots stretching back to 1948, when founder Nello Gigli — a Florentine man captivated by the city's ancient perfumery heritage — began his journey into the world of scent in the aftermath of the Second World War. Headquartered in Sesto Fiorentino, in the hills surrounding Florence, the house has spent over 70 years refining an art form that is as much about the vessel as the fragrance within. Paolo Gigli's bottles are handcrafted masterpieces: made from Venetian glass fired three times at 550°C using an ancient technique, then hand-decorated with silver, 24-carat gold and platinum embossments by skilled artisans — each one truly unique, never exactly the same as another. The fragrances themselves are bold and distinctive, drawing from the natural beauty of Tuscany and the sensory richness of the wider world. Every Paolo Gigli creation is a singular work of Italian luxury.
