Emanuel Ungaro
Unapologetically you.
Emanuel Ungaro opened his couture house at 2 Avenue Montaigne in Paris in 1965 after seven years working under Cristóbal Balenciaga. The collections were known for sharp tailoring, draped silk jersey and a saturated, often clashing palette that set the house apart from the more restrained Parisian couture of the period. The perfume line began in 1977 with Diva, a leathery oriental that became the brand's signature, followed by Senso, Fleur de Diva and the Apparition series in the 1990s and 2000s. Fragrance development has run under licence at various points with Bulgari, Salvatore Ferragamo and most recently YSB Beauté. Ungaro stepped back from the couture house in 2004 and the ready-to-wear business has changed hands several times since, but the fragrance archive — and Diva in particular — continues to be reformulated and redistributed under the Ungaro name.
