Bois 1920

The Italian perfume house Bois 1920 was founded in 1920 by Guido Gallardi. Gallardi's first formulas centered on lavender gathered from the hills surrounding Florence. The original company existed for only a short time and closed its doors in 1925. However, it was revived in 2005 by Gallardi's grandson Enzo, who sought to trace his creative roots by reinterpreting the fragrances his grandfather had created. From formulas to research, the Bottega Italiana Spigo expression, from the first formulas developed in Guido Gallardi's artisan workshop to research refined over time, became one of the five scent expressions that shaped Italian perfumery around the world. Bois 1920 is therefore an artisanal fragrance brand from Florence that expresses the Gallardi family's passion for the art of perfumery. As the company itself puts it, its craft is passed down from one generation to the next. This same passion brings the company's fragrance line to life, inspires it, and carefully enriches it. Today, the line includes more than 44 fragrances. In addition, research into raw materials combines tradition and innovation, bringing harmony to unique and captivating scent compositions. Bois 1920 and the scent of lavender The story began in 1920, when grandfather Guido Gallardi started experimenting and researching his first formulas in his tiny workshop in Florence. He began gathering the "Spigo" (lavender flowers) that ripened on the hills of Florence. In his work, he blended different expressive elements: essential oils, fragrant solutions, and scented sachets. All these elements inspired and shaped the Bottega Italiana Spigo brand (BOIS 1920), which gradually gained worldwide importance over the years and earned international recognition. In 2012, it won the Oscar of the fragrance world. Every creation from this brand is an alchemical product, unique in the way it feels and born of an ancient perfumery culture, with a focus on the excellence of the raw materials used to create precious new versions. Bois 1920 fragrances are distinguished by their strong emphasis on the character and scent of the essences, created in the past and still enduring to this day. The brand's collections and attention to detail To date, the brand has created 44 different fragrances. There are three collections: the Philosophy Collection, the Gold Collection, and the Youth Collection. Most of the fragrances are intended for both women and men. What defines and distinguishes this brand is its fundamental philosophy: every fragrance in the Bois 1920 collection is the result of skilled, meticulous research, bringing ideas and imagination to life through concepts and design. Based on these principles, every ingredient used makes a difference and enriches the final product, and should in fact be considered a work of art. This is also reflected in the attention to the smallest details, such as the bottle. Here, light, color, and shape come together to create unique colors, thanks to the skill of Italian glassmakers. The bottles are sandblasted, laminated, and painted. They form an exclusive, vibrant collection that showcases the capabilities of Italian craftsmanship. The bottle cap is made of wood and chrome, and harmoniously adorns each bottle. Together, they create a perfect blend of beauty and elegance. Every part is decorated with a logo, enhancing the uniqueness and personality of each fragrance created by Bois 1920. Every detail has been considered, including the box, adorned with its distinctive gold frames and colors that distinguish the fragrances and collections. The attention to detail makes the boxes distinctive in their features and refinements, and elevates the brand's standing in niche perfumery.
