Acqua di Portofino celebrates Italian heritage through its attention to detail, art and the finest raw materials.
Acqua di Portofino embodies a silent luxury. That of sailing ships gliding past at dawn, of sailors tattooed with salt and tradition, of a refinement that is whispered rather than displayed.
The brand combines heritage and boldness, ancient gestures and intuitive modernity. Inspired by the beauty and biodiversity of Portofino, it evokes authentic emotions and timeless elegance. Rooted in craftsmanship and creativity, each Acqua di Portofino fragrance carries the quiet elegance that distinguishes those who have nothing to prove.
Acqua di Portofino was born in 1999 as an ode to Mediterranean elegance, where Italian lifestyle, historicity and elegance come together.
Driven by a desire to capture the essence of the village, its founder transformed the scents of sea breezes, citrus fruits and wooden boats into a refined olfactory experience. His passion gave birth to a brand rooted in authenticity, craftsmanship and Mediterranean elegance.
Today, the house is breathing new life into itself: a renaissance project carried out alongside the best talents in perfumery, to reinterpret with modernity the spirit that has driven it since its beginnings.
"Acqua di Portofino is Italy at its most noble: an art of living shaped by sea, sun, stone and wind. Portofino, with its secret coves, ochre-coloured houses and liquid light, inspires a perfumery rooted in reality: that of exceptional raw materials, the hand of the craftsman, and detail that is meticulous to the point of purity. Nothing ostentatious - everything is just right. Each creation is a sensory interlude. A reminiscence of forgotten shores, an emotion close to the skin, a harmony between raw nature and Italian sophistication. In a world that seeks the exceptional, Acqua di Portofino follows its own path, faithful to the essential."
