Eau d’Italie

Some scents begin in a lab; this one began in a hotel. Eau d’Italie is the house fragrance of the legendary Le Sirenuse in Positano, created by Marina Sersale — whose family has run the hotel since the 1950s — and Sebastián Álvarez Murena. The first scent, composed in 2004 with the Paris perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour, captures the feeling of a summer on the Amalfi Coast: warm stone, wild herbs, citrus blossom, a breath of incense. What followed is a kind of Grand Tour of Italy, scent by scent. Made in Italy.
