Maria Candida Gentile

Since Maria Candida was a child she was always fascinated by perfumes.

Her first memory comes from the roses in her's family garden: when the roses where blooming, she used to collect the petals and created her own rose water which she then offered.

It became very clear that creating fragrances was the passion of her life, so she decided to learn the mastery of fragrance in Grasse, well known for having trained the best noses in the world.

She was very lucky to be coached by Carol André who taught her the little secrets that only the maitres parfumeurs pass on to the others. These are small details that make the difference and make the fragrances magic.

For Maria, a good fragrance is a fragrance that does good to the one that wears it.

The only way to make it happen is to use natural essences, the ones that our body and soul understand and love instinctively, and to make it with our heart. Only what comes from the heart can touch the heart.

Maria Candida used to work for big fragrances houses and launched her own brand about one year ago. Her portfolio includes six classic fragrances from six mediterranean natural treasures. The luxurious packaging is all handmade.
