The name Mendittorosa has a meaning only founder Stefania Squeglia knows, and she is not telling. The house was born in 2012 from a life-altering experience on Stromboli, the volcanic island off Sicily, and everything since has followed from that moment. Fragrances are built around mythology, astrology and ancient ritual, divided across two collections: Odori d'Anima, scents of the soul, and Talismans. Production is strictly limited. Every bottle is finished by hand in collaboration with Italian artisans working in wood, metal, stone and ceramic, and no two pieces are identical.
A perfume and an object to live with
Mendittorosa suits someone who collects perfume for its emotional meaning as well as its composition. Begin with the symbolism behind Odori d'Anima or Talismans, then spend time with the scent that holds your attention. The handmade finish makes each bottle individual, so the object is part of the experience. For a personal gift, the story can carry as much weight as the fragrance, especially when it connects with something meaningful to the wearer.
