The Inspiration Behind the Fragrance

The Art of Crafting the Scent

Maria Candida Gentile meticulously blends these components to produce a harmonious composition that evokes memories of the island's wooden planks and lush greenery. Each element in the fragrance serves as a tribute to the island's past and present, offering wearers a glimpse into its storied existence. Available in multiple sizes, this Eau de Parfum allows enthusiasts to carry a piece of Vis with them wherever they go.
