Les Fleurs du Mal
Les Fleurs du Mal celebrates the sacred bond between flowers and bees, where sensual blossoms melt into beeswax, honey, and propolis in a decadent embrace, surrounded by rare ouds, spices, and resins. Inspired by these precious essences, each fragrance captures their richness and finesse, revealing the subtle balance between sensuality and poetry, and translating botany into a delicate olfactory story, true to Extra Virgo’s refined approach.

Forbidden Botanicals
Forbidden Botanicals explores ingredients which throughout history have been both medicine and poison, idolized and demonized. Plants of great spiritual significance and power, such as cannabis, mushrooms, coffee, cacao, and tobacco, give life to an intoxicating collection, the signature of Extra Virgo, deep, natural, oudy, spiced, and sensual. Each composition reveals the density and uniqueness of these materials while exploring the mysterious and almost magical dimension of plants, where memory, botany, and emotion converge.
about
BOTANICAL HERITAGE
Extra Virgo is a sanctuary, an oasis that welcomes, a Garden of Eden embodying the elegant yet rebellious energy of nature. Inspired by Alex Postiglione’s singular heritage and the richness of the plants from his “secret gardens,” the house creates exceptional fragrances at the castle of Montecucchi in Florence. Each composition, designed like a potion where ancestral traditions meet contemporary experimentation, expresses the life-giving power of plants, primordial, wild and sensual, and transforms the olfactory experience into ritual, memory and emotion.
