i Profumi di Firenze Odissea is considered a unisex fresh floral fragrance.
Just steps away from the Piazza della Signoria in Florence lies the tiny Spezierie Erboristerie Palazzao Vecchio which houses the incredible line of i Profumi di Firenze. This line is an all non-synthetic line inspired by the original formulas of the XVI century, commissioned to the Florentine cosmetic artisans by Caterina de Medici. They are all handmade. Perfumer and chemist Dr. Giovanni di Massimo found these recipes on an original manuscript buried in the mud after the big flood in Florence in 1966.
The majority of these fragrances are not distributed in the United States and this is the only location in which to purchase them. Odissea is one of those fragrances. Released in 2018, this fragrance was inspired by the Knights of the 15th century who, before going into battle, kept pieces of cedarwood with mint leaves and artemisia in their pocket. This superstitious habit was said to help them free their mind and always be ready for battle. Odissea features the same notes of mint leaves and artemisia with added notes of fresh lemon, Italian bergamot and lavender. A very warm, elegant and sexy fragrance. It is an eau de parfum, edp.
