Claudio Zucca is an Italian perfumer and architect who founded Claudio Zucca Parfums, a niche fragrance house known for its elegant and character-rich scents. Born in 1985 in the province of Milan, Zucca developed an early passion for perfumery, influenced by his mother's love for fragrances. Although he pursued a career in architecture, earning a master's degree from the Politecnico di Milano, his enduring fascination with scents led him to explore the art of perfume creation.
Zucca's journey into perfumery was self-directed; he spent years experimenting with natural extracts and aromatic chemicals, studying formulation and compositional chemistry. This dedication culminated in the establishment of Claudio Zucca Parfums, co-founded with his wife, Nadia. The brand aims to offer original and expressive fragrances in a market saturated with conventional scents.
Each fragrance in the collection is crafted as an Extrait de Parfum with a 35% concentration of raw materials, ensuring an intense and evolving olfactory experience. Zucca's creations are characterized by their composed elegance and whispered strength, reflecting his personal experiences and vision of perfumery.
Notable fragrances from Claudio Zucca Parfums include:
Bois Primitif: A warm, spicy scent featuring notes of bergamot, blueberry, cinnamon, damask rose, lavender, ambroxan, cedarwood, musky notes, and vanilla.
Deep Water: An aquatic-fruity fragrance with top notes of lime and blackberry.
Idi di Marzo: A complex composition with top notes of Isabella grape and peach.
Zucca's approach to perfumery is deeply personal and intuitive, often drawing inspiration from his own experiences and emotions. He views each fragrance as an olfactory narrative, aiming to evoke memories and feelings through scent.
