Giuseppe Arcimboldo was the 16th century Italian painter famous for his fantastical portraits of human heads composed of vegetables, flowers, fruits and books. In this extrait, the grill is a canvas, delicately charring an abundance of greenery. There’s the bitterness of artichoke, the aquatic gleam of celery, the sweetness of tomato, the richness of carrot, the umami of mushroom, the spearmint of nepetella, the fresh-cut grass of bell pepper. Rosa cymosa’s syrupy compote nuance brushes a jammy glaze across this artwork.

Important notice:
Zanini blends are living botanical compositions, crafted entirely from natural materials and free from synthetic fixatives or stabilizers. As with all things living, subtle variations are part of their nature: over time, you may notice a gentle evolution in colour, texture, or the appearance of natural sediment. These are not imperfections, but part of the character of the raw materials themselves.
These blends are olfactive smellscapes (but neither aromatherapy, nor ‘spray-and-go’ perfumes) and sensory experiences, closer to works of art created in the scented plane (rather than, say, visual or audio).
Certain essential oils and absolutes that are used in Zanini’s 100% natural blends may potentially cause allergies in some people. Please spray Zanini’s blends on fabric (on sleeves, scarves, etc.).
Zanini advise that those who are prone to allergic reactions, pregnant and nursing women, as well as people with chronic illnesses to be extra careful. Before trying natural blends, study the list of ingredients and consult with a doctor if you are not sure or a had a history of allergies. If you do decide to put these blends on your skin (unable to resist the temptation) always test the blend on the inside part of your elbow first and wait.
Do not spray these blends liberally as a cloud in the way you would spray a conventional perfume. Zanini’s smellscapes need to be… carefully applied and experienced. Be mindful that some oils can also make your skin hyper-sensitive to UV.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is a fragrance for close range and curious company, when you want something that reads as artistic before it reads as perfumed. It suits intimate rooms, quiet conversation and the kind of setting where its savory-green oddness can be noticed rather than explained.
How to wear
Best worn sparingly, especially in cool to mild weather, and preferably on fabric rather than sprayed broadly into the air. A light application lets the vegetal facets stay crisp while the smoky woods and oud unfold slowly; too much will make the composition feel dense and dry.
Who it’s for
For wearers who like unconventional naturals, green bitterness, savory facets and compositions that feel more like an olfactory artwork than a conventional perfume. It will appeal to those drawn to earthy woods, moss, smoke and unusual vegetal textures.
The nose
Filippo Zanini. Zanini’s work sits in the natural, small-batch niche, where raw materials and texture matter as much as structure. His approach favors experimental compositions that feel handcrafted and materially vivid, which suits Arcimboldo’s vegetal, smoky palette.
Zanini’s story
Zanini is a young Italian niche house built around natural materials, limited production and an art-led approach to scent. Its philosophy is less about conventional polish than about evoking emotion, atmosphere and the tactile strangeness of living ingredients.
Arcimboldo’s concept
Arcimboldo draws its concept from Giuseppe Arcimboldo, the 16th-century Italian painter known for portraits assembled from vegetables, flowers and other natural forms. The fragrance translates that visual wit into scent: a charred, edible-green composition where produce, herbs and woods are arranged like a surreal still life.
Extra info
Limited to 35 bottles at 38% extrait. The name references Arcimboldo’s fantastical food-and-flower portraits, and the formula is built from natural materials with visible variation over time, including possible sediment and color change.
