Rosso Radice

• Evening
• Night out

Rosso Radice opens on a dry, slightly spicy feel, with a very pronounced rooty, almost earthy side. Then the fragrance grows denser, with woody and green notes that bring depth and an impression of raw material.

With time, the whole warms up slightly, as musks and woods smooth the scent while keeping that dry, grounded feel. The result stays very textured, almost mineral.

The story of Giardini Di Toscana begins in 1942 in Bibbiena, a medieval village in the Casentino, one of the most unspoilt valleys in Tuscany. It was there that Giovan Piero and Emma Ducci opened their first shop, specialising in handmade perfumes and ointments. Silvia Martinelli, granddaughter of Giovan Piero and Emma, a self-taught perfumer trained in that same space filled with recipe notebooks and age-old techniques, is the one who brought the house into the era of auteur perfumery. Silvia combines the family heritage with a twofold ambition: to honour Italian tradition while exploring a free, deep and resolutely modern creativity. Her source of inspiration is the Tuscan garden, a meeting point between architecture and nature, between the work of human hands and the generosity of the land. That is where the fragrances are born: mist in the undergrowth, morning citrus, childhood biscuits, evening flowers. Precise images, never abstract. Production is entirely Italian, responsible and transparent: bottles blown by a historic glassworks powered by renewable energy, boxes printed locally on recycled paper. A house built over generations that still smells of Tuscany.
