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 belongs to an unhurried, close-range encounter: a sleeve lifted toward the nose, the first impression almost culinary before roses emerge from the salty, fermented darkness. It suits a quiet stretch of time when an unfamiliar scent can hold your attention without needing to charm everyone nearby.
How to wear
Its rich, savory profile lends itself to cooler weather and restrained application. Follow Zanini’s guidance: apply sparingly to fabric rather than skin, first testing a concealed area because the natural materials may stain. Avoid spraying a cloud; keep the experience localized. Review the ingredients carefully if you have allergies or sensitivities.
Who it’s for
For rose lovers willing to leave sweetness behind, and collectors drawn to fermented, vegetal and savory compositions. The appeal lies in the tension between a luxurious floral bouquet and miso, seaweed, olive and tea—not in a familiar, conventionally pretty rose.

The nose
Filippo Zanini creates botanical compositions conceived as olfactory landscapes rather than conventional perfumes. His approach combines natural materials with hands-on extraction and processing. In Rosa Umami V2, fermented roses and miso give the floral structure a distinctly savory dimension.
Zanini’s story
Zanini treats fragrance as an autonomous art form, making small, hand-bottled editions from exclusively natural materials. Its smellscapes explore real and imagined places through unconventional textures and painstaking material preparation, asking for attention rather than promising immediate, familiar pleasure.
Rosa umami V2’s concept
Rosa Umami V2 revisits the original fragrance’s meeting of roses and fermentation. Japanese Rosa rugosa brings a sensual, powdery facet intended to lighten the earlier edition’s long-cooked character. Kombucha-fermented roses, enfleurage and koji-fermented soybean miso underpin the composition, while seaweed adds salty, vegetal-earthy depth.
Extra info
V2 is limited to 59 bottles and presented at 48% extrait concentration. Its official presentation features an anonymous Japanese poem, replacing the Emily Dickinson quotation used for the original edition. Natural sediment and changes in colour or texture are part of the botanical blend’s possible evolution.
