Gandini
Italian perfumery since 1896, built on natural materials.
Gandini was established in 1896 by Alessandro Gandini, founding what would become one of Italy's longest-running fragrance houses—an operation that has survived two world wars, economic upheaval, and the transformation of the global fragrance industry through more than twelve decades of continuous production. The house built its identity on natural materials and classical Italian formulation technique, producing floral colognes, toilet waters, and eaux de parfum that honor a pre-industrial approach to ingredient sourcing. Currently distributed through Eurocosmesi, Gandini occupies the niche market tier, where its extraordinary historical depth becomes a genuine differentiator: consumers can access fragrances from a house whose formulation heritage predates synthetic aromatics. The catalog includes compositions in classical Italian registers—citrus, floral, and aromatic structures—executed with the material generosity of a house that has never needed to optimize for volume manufacturing.

Each column is an era. Each colored band shows that family’s share of accord weight across every perfume the house released in that window. Bigger band = the house leaned harder on that family.
