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
The table is still lively after the vegetables come off the grill, with torn herbs and garden roses close enough to mingle with the embers. Arcimboldo suits that unhurried, tactile register: savory rather than conventionally sweet, with smoky greenery and a rose glaze that reward attention at close quarters.
How to wear
Its green, herbal character echoes summer, while the smoky, woody elements make it worth exploring in cooler weather too. Apply sparingly to a sleeve or scarf rather than spraying a cloud, as Zanini recommends fabric application for these natural blends. Test an inconspicuous area first: the composition may stain light or delicate textiles. Review the ingredients carefully if you have sensitivities.
Who it’s for
For wearers drawn to bitter greens, earthy vegetable notes and smoke rather than familiar citrus freshness or dessert-like sweetness. It will appeal particularly to those who enjoy botanical experimentation, unusual natural materials and rose interpreted as a savory glaze rather than a conventional floral centerpiece.

The nose
Filippo Zanini creates the house’s botanical “smellscapes”: compositions conceived as sensory artworks rather than conventional perfumes. His practice centers on natural materials and the translation of real or imagined places into scent. In Arcimboldo, that approach brings vegetables, roses and aromatic herbs into a deliberately savory composition.
Zanini’s story
Zanini treats perfume as an autonomous art form, building “smellscapes” from exclusively natural raw materials rather than following fragrance trends. Much of the harvesting and processing is handled in-house, with each bottle filled, packaged and numbered by hand. These small-batch compositions invite patient attention rather than immediate, universal appeal.
Arcimboldo’s concept
Named after Giuseppe Arcimboldo, the painter celebrated for portraits assembled from vegetables, flowers and other objects, this fragrance imagines a grill as a canvas. Its creative scene is a summer Sunday barbecue, where roasting vegetables, charcoal smoke, garden roses and nepetella converge. The composition translates that gathering into a botanical portrait, with jammy rose brushing sweetness over bitter, earthy and charred textures.
Extra info
The edition comprises just 35 bottles of 30 ml, at 38% extrait concentration. Its botanical palette includes Jerusalem-artichoke flowers and porcini mushroom alongside roses and oud. As an entirely natural composition without synthetic stabilizers, it may evolve in color and texture or develop sediment over time.
