Anna Paghera Fragrances

Anna Paghera Indoor Fragrances | Eco Artisan Italy | The Aficionados

Brand Intro

A highly attuned eco-thinker, Anna Paghera channels her creative senses into the fields of design, interiors and fragrance. All linked by a love of nature, each project she approaches comes from the soul.

Products

From cliffside gardens to chic city hotels, fashion boutiques to stylish people the world over, Anna Paghera has made her mark whether that’s through intriguingly styled interiors brushed with nature, carefully conceived outdoor landscapes or fragrances that bring nature to life. Enter her world and become part of an enchanting sensory experience brought about by her use of scent, tactile materials and nature: trees, flowers, grasses and sunlight.

Alongside her work with hotels, fashion houses and brands to create sensory spaces, Anna Paghera’s perfumes speak volumes about her olfactory ethos. Formulated as antique potions for the soul, eight different light-hearted fragrances aim to ‘trigger fun’… whilst creating seriously unparalleled olfactory experiences in themselves. Her home fragrances and tonics promise to ‘sanitize the air and thoughts’ while the ultrasonic fragrance diffuser transforms water into a light mist that you might find by the side of a waterfall. We like the look of the Micro-Spa for the modern traveller – a box of curiosities from mild milk moisturiser, pomade soap and cooling leg gel, beautifully wrapped in mulberry paper.

Story

Anna Paghera speaks candidly about how her ideas, work and creative output is formed, saying ‘eco-green thinking is part of my DNA - it instinctively pushes me towards whatever is nature and natural.’ By utilising these green inclinations, she is able to create eco installations that bring nature inside, making her popular with hotel brands and fashion houses, alongside her natural fragrances that create a story whether on the wrist, in a room or simply on the breeze.

However, she is equally happy outside, designing and forming landscaped spaces that are perfectly tamed yet encapsulate nature’s wild side. With a surname that translates as ‘fir wood’ and five green-fingered generations before her, it was no surprise that Anna would be predisposed to nature. This family connection with nature allowed Anna to join a company founded by her brother, Gianfranco, a landscape architect and working side-by-side under a mantra that ensured a freedom from restraint, Anna prospered within the fields of interior design, gardens and of course her eponymous fragrances inspired by nature.

Stand Out

A lifetime campaign to bring a sensory eco chic to stylish hotels, homes, brands and fellow creatives via natural furnishings, green design and the scents of nature.

Vivere Suites and Rooms
