Bruno Acampora in Candles & Home

Bruno Acampora invites you to join him on his 40-year-old voyage of the senses. London, Paris, Milan: the mood swings of high fashion and the revolution of prêt a porter. The passion for Africa on the hunt for rare resins and roots in the suks of the Sahara. The transgressions of St Tropez in the sixties and the pop art of New York. The unsettling wickedness and depravity of Venice. Then Rio de Janeiro, the Caribbean, the Antilles – taking in the smell of tropical flowers and spices from the equator. And moving on to the trading routes of India, China and Japan – but always returning to the magical island – his beloved Capri. It is the olfactory memory of a lifetime. A precious collection, variegated like a Roman marble, dedicated to lovers of beauty and intense emotions.

The essences are contained in small aluminium phials, unchanged in 30 years, with the correct volume of air inside and sealed by a cork stopper as used by artisans of the perfume trade.
