Lancetti
Lancetti is an Italian fashion label founded in Rome in 1961 by Pino Lancetti (1932–2007), the Umbrian-born couturier nicknamed the "sarto pittore" — the painter-tailor — for his habit of drawing on Kandinsky, Picasso, Modigliani, and Matisse for prints and cut. He dressed Audrey Hepburn, Silvana Mangano, and Queen Paola of Belgium across four decades of Roman haute couture. The fragrance arm extended the house from the early 1980s onward. Releases such as Lancetti Pour Femme, Madame, and IL trade in classical Italian compositions — aldehydic florals for women, fougère and aromatic structures for men — produced in collaboration with perfumers including Mark Buxton, Paolo Cerizza and Arturetto Landi. Lancetti retired in 2001 and the couture house wound down, but the perfumes remain in circulation through Italian distribution networks. They suit wearers drawn to vintage-style continental perfumery at modest prices.
