Nestled among the majestic Alpine peaks and bathed by the crystal-clear waters of Lake Maggiore, the Val d’Ossola is a region where nature and tradition come together in perfect harmony. In this enchanted place, the land holds a unique treasure: an Italian tea plantation, among the largest in Europe, where a passion for craftsmanship intertwines with a love for the region.
During a stay at Lake Maggiore, Paolo and Tiziana paused to take in the breathtaking landscape, where time seemed to slow down and every breath was filled with the scent of the land and its traditions. A local resident, overhearing their conversation about their search for a unique ingredient to create a fragrance, led them to the tea plantation in Premosello. In this corner of paradise, Paolo and Tiziana were struck by the dedication and passion that permeated every aspect of tea production, from the cultivation of Camellia sinensis plants to the artisanal care given to each leaf. This encounter led them to create Osola, a fragrance that captures the essence of the Ossola Valley and celebrates the authenticity of its roots.
Osola opens with bright, fresh notes, a tribute to the valley’s vibrant energy. Verbano Green Tea and Black Tea blend with the liveliness of Brazilian petitgrain, Lake Maggiore mandarin, and Sorrento lemon. Hints of coconut milk and Brazilian coconut lend a velvety creaminess that envelops the senses in a comforting embrace.
At its heart, the fragrance becomes enveloping and sophisticated. Thai ylang-ylang and Mexican tuberose intertwine with orange blossoms from Lake Maggiore, while cedarwood from Lake Trasimeno adds a refined, woody depth. A note of Sicilian almond enriches the composition with its warm, inviting sweetness.
The base of Osola is a tribute to the indescribable strength and beauty of nature. Madagascar Bourbon vanilla blends with musk and Piedmont oak, while ambergris rounds out the fragrance with a sensual, lingering trail that evokes the magic of the Ossola Valley with every breath. With Osola, every fragrance becomes a poetic whisper, an interweaving of notes that tell the story of the art of savoring life in all its essence.
