Passion

Acqua dell’Elba began with a shared passion for perfume among its three founders: Fabio, Chiara and Marco. The fragrance line is inspired by the Italian Mediterranean island of Elba and is best known for incorporating aquatic themes into its perfumes and bath products.

Today, Acqua dell’Elba has 32 single-brand stores — 27 in Italy and five abroad — and a distribution network of more than 1,000 perfume retailers across Italy and the rest of Europe. The brand is also expanding into foreign markets, aiming to bring the beauty and essence of the sea to the rest of the world through its products.

Aside from perfumes, Acqua dell’Elba also offers bath and skincare products, home fragrances, scented candles and fabrics, such as bathrobes and towels.
