Maria Candida Gentile
The Story of the Brand
Maria Candida Gentile works with precious natural materials and ancient techniques such as enfleurage and spagyric preparation. Her scents are inspired by places, artists and memories: from the Ligurian coast in Sideris and the end of Europe in Finisterre to Billie Holiday in Lady Day and Marcel Duchamp in Rrose Sélavy. With Syconium, Kitrea and Leucò she created the Calabroni triptych, an ode to bees and insects.
The Signature of the House
Characteristic are the artistic, narrative compositions, the use of rare materials and a palette ranging from salty and citrus to incense, rose and gourmand.
Collections
The collection includes Sideris, Finisterre, Exultat, Cinabre, Elephant & Roses, Noir Tropical, Lankaran Forest, Gershwin, Viridarium, Yazemeenah and the Parfums Burlesque, Lady Day and Rrose Sélavy.
Popular Fragrances

Why Fragrance Has No Gender
In niche perfumery, it is not about categories but about experience.
Many niche houses do not create their perfumes specifically for men or women. Instead, they tell a story, evoke a memory or bring an emotion to life. The scent takes centre stage, not the gender of the wearer.
At ParfuMaria, we believe a fragrance has no gender. Every scent develops in its own way through the natural chemistry of your skin. At Maria Candida Gentile, too, you are free to choose, however a scent is described.
So try not to be guided too much by terms such as women, men or unisex. The most beautiful fragrance is not the one that fits a certain box, but the one in which you recognise yourself and which you enjoy wearing.
A fragrance does not choose a gender. A fragrance chooses a personality.
What the ParfuMaria Team Thinks About This Brand
We love Maria Candida Gentile for the poetry behind every bottle. Sideris and Exultat show how soft incense can be, Lady Day is for us the truest gardenia we know and Lankaran Forest smells like a cup of black tea in a forest after rain. The scents are refined and never loud, yet they last long and develop beautifully on skin. Feel free to start with a 15 ml bottle: that way you calmly discover which scent suits you.
