A DEBUT AT ESXENCE

FOR THE BRAND

INSPIRED BY THE STARS

Each of the fragrances is dedicated to a star. Through
an artistic interpretation of the main characteristics
of each star, the most representative olfactory
notes are selected to tell stories of emotions and
sensations. Esxence is the occasion for the launch of
the latest creation by the talented sisters. This new

a floral soul, inspired by the brightest star in the night
sky, Sirio. It tells a tale as old as time of the Bold and

the creative talent of two sisters, Sofia and Fabiola
Bardelli, respectively the “nose” and the artistic
director of the brand, their fragrances are inspired by
their two great passions: the art of perfumery and
astronomy. In the fragrances, the aim is to draw a
parallel between the stars and perfumery; both are
present, even without being visible and both do not
apparently move yet they are in constant evolution.
Just as the stars gradually change over the course of
their lives, fragrance also reveal themselves gradually,
thanks to their top, middle and base notes.
