A story that intertwines colored gems, precious essences, and the contemporary alchemies of the most famous "noses" in the world

This stunning luxury book—a precious anthology of fragrances—traces the origins of Bulgari’s unique perfumes back to the ancient gems and spice trails and to the brand’s fine jewellery tradition, which is deeply rooted in Roman tradition.

“Published by Rizzoli, the tome highlights the link between the label’s high-end jewelry and high perfumery creations — specifically focusing on the Le Gemme fragrance collection — retracing the historic origins of precious gems and essences, their botanical properties, cultural references and how they were translated into scents.” —Women’s Wear Daily
