Inspirations

My thoughts fly far, far away, to my childhood home, to my universe closed in time, to our room where several generations grew up, each with their own lives and stories. I look at our room, back home after many years, and it's as if time has stopped here, all things have remained like this for decades, even though my people left a long time ago, only now they are dusty and from one place to another you can still see every cobweb that has remained the witness of the passage of so many generations.

I look at myself in the old mirror behind the door, made of wood, and I think of all those who looked at themselves there before me and whom I did not get to know, except through stories and memories. I look through the windows of our room, which are now dusty, but which are like a portal to the past, which teleports me directly to our yard full of birds and animals, when I was just a child. And my thoughts fly to the trees planted by me and my grandfather in the yard, which are filled with white flowers every spring.

Time has passed, but the memories of many generations who spent their childhood in our little room have remained. And it was up to me, the youngest of the family, to tell them the story.

The perfumer: Giovanni Festa

Born in Naples in 1964, Giovanni Festa discovered an entrepreneurial vocation at a young age. In 1990, he founded da_Galeno Officine Cosmetiche srl, the first cosmetics industry in Naples, the capital of Campania. The company quickly asserted its international ambitions: less than three years after its creation, it wove a solid export network linking India to the United States.

In 2009, the inauguration of a new plant in the ASI industrial area of Nola marked a decisive turning point. Equipped with cutting-edge technologies, the plant focused its efforts on innovation, research and development, in collaboration with universities and specialized institutes. The impeccable quality of the raw materials and the ethical sustainability of the processes quickly propelled Galeno among the leaders of avant-garde cosmetics, in Italy and internationally.

A Passion for Rare Essences
Alongside his success in the cosmetics world, Giovanni Festa developed a fascination for the world of perfumes. His many travels, encouraged by his export activities, nourished his olfactory imagination. He brought back treasures: precious natural essences and oils, such as vetiver, patchouli or even more daring accords such as papyrus, leather, or salinity evoking Mediterranean landscapes.

These experiences led in 2017 to the creation of Aulentissima, a niche perfume brand embodying Neapolitan elegance and originality. The opening of the first perfumery workshop in 2019, in Via Calabritto in Naples, inaugurates a series of expansions, with boutiques in Italy and internationally.

A Narrative Olfactory Art
The uniqueness of Giovanni Festa's perfumes lies in their narrative dimension. Each creation tells a story, inspired by travel, literature, philosophy or figurative arts. In 2018, his talent was internationally recognized with a place as a finalist at the prestigious Art and Olfaction Awards, organized by the Institute of Art and Olfaction in Los Angeles.

His collections, like chapters of books, reveal meticulously crafted olfactory registers. Between 2019 and 2020, he composed 32 unique perfumes, combining methodical rigor and limitless creativity. Each bottle invites you on an unpredictable journey, where the scents write a timeless and captivating plot.

Today, Giovanni Festa is an emblematic figure of niche perfumery, combining traditional know-how and innovation, to sublimate the art of essences and transmit emotions across time and space.
