Gritti
The Story of the Brand
The Gritti family is one of the best-known names of sixteenth-century Venice: major spice importers and statesmen, among them Doge Andrea Gritti and his son Alvise, a merchant and diplomat. In the early 2000s Luca Gritti took over the family business, which for years had produced fragrances for major cosmetic brands. In 2010 he founded his own brand. The family coat of arms carries the motto Sustinet nec fatiscit: don’t let difficulties stop you.
The Signature of the House
Luca Gritti selects the raw materials himself and travels the world in search of the finest ingredients, such as the vanilla matured in hollow baobab trunks in Madagascar for Vanilla Tanà. His style is expressive yet wearable: classic families such as fougère, chypre, oud and musk receive a fresh, sometimes mischievous twist. The house is a family business with its own production in Bologna; from the idea to the hand-filling of the bottles, everything stays in-house. The bottles recall the books in the perfumer’s personal library.
Perfumers and Collections
Luca Gritti is the nose and creative director of the house. Each collection has a world of its own: the Black Collection with scents such as Noctem Arabs, Preludio and 19-68; the White Collection, inspired by Italian lace, with Macramè, Chantilly and Tutù Blanc and handmade caps; I Turchesi, built around the citrus of the Italian coast, with Pomelo Sorrento; Gritti Privè with rich extraits in velvet boxes, such as Rialto, Duchessa and Florian; and the Ivy Collection, where Luca Gritti experiments most freely, with Vanilla Tanà, Kill the Lights and Super Nova among others. Special Editions such as Monica complete the range.
Popular Fragrances
Pomelo Sorrento is a fresh classic of the house and Macramè a beloved ‘hidden rose’. Rialto and Duchessa show the rich side of Gritti Privè, while Vanilla Tanà and Muskaria reveal Luca Gritti’s personal signature. Tutù and Tutù Blanc translate the grace of ballet into a soft, fruity gourmand.

Why Fragrance Has No Gender
Niche perfumery is about experience rather than categories. Many niche houses do not create their fragrances specifically for men or women; they tell a story, evoke a memory or bring an emotion to life. At ParfuMaria we believe a fragrance has no gender. Every scent unfolds in its own way on the natural chemistry of your skin, so the same perfume can smell surprisingly different on two people. Let yourself be guided less by labels such as women, men or unisex. A fragrance does not choose a gender. A fragrance chooses a personality.
What the ParfuMaria Team Thinks About This Brand
Gritti has something rare: Venetian grandeur combined with a good measure of humour. The fragrances are expertly made and dare to play, from a rose with raspberry mousse to a mineral scent with gunpowder. Above all we appreciate the breadth of the house; there is always a Gritti that suits someone’s character.
