Ars Mirabile

The term fragrance originates from the Latin per fumum, meaning “through smoke,” referencing ancient rituals in which oils and incense were burned as offerings to gods and ancestors. Over time, this practice evolved into a refined art form, deeply connected to alchemy, craftsmanship, and cultural identity. In Renaissance Europe, fragrance played an essential role in courtly life, symbolizing status, refinement, and personal expression. The development of perfumery was notably influenced by the Florentine court and its exchanges with France during the 16th century, where skilled perfumers elevated the craft through distilled essences and innovative compositions.

Ars Mirabile draws inspiration from this historical legacy, reflecting the transformation of perfumery into an ars mirabilis—a wondrous art.
