The story

Les Folies Du Parfum grew from Valentina Tecchio and Raul Paronetto's shared experience in niche perfumery. The Italian house turns extraordinary lives into an olfactory collection, describing its figures as people who shifted conventions or deliberately crossed them.

The brand pairs that narrative idea with concentrated compositions, handmade bottles, and a distinctive visual world. 22.22 opened the collection, while Nemea and Tigris continue the Private Collection Semiramide.

01 · Two founders, one idea

Perfumery as narrated personality

Valentina Tecchio and Raul Paronetto describe Les Folies Du Parfum as the result of years spent with niche perfumery and carefully chosen raw materials. Their collection looks toward figures who deliberately shaped their lives as works of art. The approach gives each fragrance a narrative frame without reducing it to a simple historical illustration.

02 · Fragrance art with a master perfumer

Bertrand Duchaufour gives the idea form

The official brand page names Bertrand Duchaufour as master perfumer and Giovanni Castelli as art director. Duchaufour created 22.22, Constricteur, Nemea, and Tigris. Les Folies Du Parfum therefore connects historical subjects and strong characters with a clearly credited olfactory signature.

03 · Bottle and object

A fragrance can remain an object

The official 22.22 product page describes the bottle as handmade in Italy. A magnetic cap, dark glass, and a wooden box make the packaging part of the narrative. The brand presents the box as suitable for a second life, giving the opulent presentation a practical continuation.

What the community says about Les Folies

9/10

„Very beautiful soft, vanilla scent that reminds me of Dans Paris by Celine. It has good longevity.“

7/10

„At the beginning, you are struck by a sharp-sour blend of cinnamon and orange that immediately evoked the association of snake venom for me – dangerous, intense, and fascinating all at once. Gradually, the warm resin moves more into the foreground, giving the fragrance depth and warmth. The composition also features a surprising facet in the base reminiscent of anise, even though anise is not officially included. It has something of bee resin in the base.“

„Most beautiful, most harmonious and most profound scent. The eighth color of the rainbow.“
