VanesiaPowdery Musky Eau de Parfum

Vanesia by Epicò is a powdery, musky, woody niche eau de parfum, unisex, understated.

Perfume as a narrative

Epicò Parfum is an Italian house founded in 2018 by Federico Gucciardi, an artist born in Bologna and recognized as "the poet of perfume". The name says it all: Epicò means "narrative". Each fragrance is born from a story that Federico writes himself — pages of emotions, dreams, and memories that he then translates into accords, into "liquid verses" — and each perfume is accompanied by this short text, which reveals the soul of the fragrance. "Every drop is a word," he says, "every perfume is a chapter of our story." After years of artistic studies and a career in the great Italian beauty houses, he now composes with Fabio Bernardi and Giulia Brigliadori. The black bottle bears a handmade antique copper label made by artisans, which makes each piece slightly different. 100 ml bottle.

An opening of yellow mandarin and bergamot

The yellow mandarin opens round and sunny, the bergamot brings its bitter zest. Only two ingredients, and the opening is already discreet.

A heart of Iso E Super, ginger, and violet

The Iso E Super establishes its woody transparency, the ginger a fresh spiciness and the violet a floral powder.

A base of musk, cedar, and tonka bean

The musk establishes the skin effect, the cedar its dryness and the tonka bean an almond sweetness. The sillage remains very close to the body.

The house's signature

Iso E Super is named in full, in the heart. Few houses admit it: it is a woody and transparent molecule, known for its ability to blend into the skin and disappear intermittently. Here it is not hidden but claimed, between a spicy ginger and a powdery violet. This is what makes Vanesia a second skin rather than a statement.

For whom, for what occasions?

Powdery, musky, and woody, this eau de parfum is for those who prefer discreet fragrances. It is worn daily, at the office, in any season, by both women and men.

With Vanesia Epicò, a molecule that others hide is written in full.
