AN ITALIAN SUMMER: BY PATRICK DOUENAT

“For me, summer smells of warm places, dried fruits, white flowers caressed by the sun. Every fragrance is a journey. An invisible gesture that leaves a trace.” – Patrick Douenat

With the arrival of summer, Patrick Douenat, alma mater of Ladenac Milano & Vila Hermanos, shares his personal selection of fragrances that capture the essence of Italy in its most evocative season. From a Roman terrace at sunset to the enveloping mystery of the desert, these creations invite you to experience summer with sophistication and authenticity.

Five fragrances, five ways to live Italy.

VELOURS ANIMAL
Ladenac Eau de Parfum

A bold, unexpected body fragrance, perfect for hot days. Its blend of bergamot, vetiver and white moss conveys mystery, elegance and an unconventional freshness.

AROMATIC LOUNGE
Urban Senses Collection

Mediterranean citrus, warm woods and evocative notes of well-being. Ideal for an outdoor dinner on a Roman terrace, with the distant sound of a fountain and the sky painted orange.

ORIGAMI COLLECTION

A citrus-floral perfume with orange blossom and dried lavender. It evokes the luminous calm of a secret garden at noon, the lightness of a walk through Tuscany.

OASIS COLLECTION

Inspired by four desert landscapes, this collection offers a more introspective vision of summer. Gourmet and delicate fragrances, with dried fruits, warm essences and enveloping textures. “Designed for a calm, romantic summer, full of sensory contrasts.”

“Summer fragrances should be subtle, emotional, almost ethereal. They don’t just refresh: they tell a story.” — Patrick Douenat
