A Journey through the Essence of the Mediterranean in the company of Riviera, Essenzamare and Stella, our three new fragrances inspired by the Mediterranean

Imagine a journey that evokes the vibrant warmth of the Riviera, the adventurous charm of Essenzamare, and the intense magic of a Stella guiding us across the sky. This is Art Odyssey 2025 — a unique experience led by Lorenzo Cipriani, art historian, storyteller, and passionate navigator, together with Valerio Bardi, skipper of the sailing yacht Milanto, which will cross the Mediterranean along ancient routes rich in history and emotion. Each stop is a discovery that celebrates the meeting of peoples, cultures, and traditions, weaving together scientific research and sensory storytelling through the exclusive fragrances Riviera, Essenzamare, and Stella.

From June 5th to September 13th, Lorenzo will guide us on this wonderful voyage, starting from Elba Island, sailing along the entire Tyrrhenian coast, reaching the Adriatic, continuing towards the stunning Aegean and the Turkish coast, before returning to Elba. It’s the perfect way to rediscover the true essence of the Mediterranean — its beauty and its scents — the very same essence captured in the three new creations by Acqua dell’Elba. Follow those who have the sea in their DNA, living it every day, even while sailing the Mediterranean, to bring you unique and authentic olfactory creations.

Waiting for SEIF: Sailing through the Tuscan Archipelago

While awaiting the story of Lorenzo’s journey across the Mediterranean, in May 2025 our navigator will embark on a special itinerary through the islands of the Tuscan Archipelago — a voyage dedicated to scientific research and marine sustainability, supported, among others, by the Acqua dell’Elba Foundation. At each stop on this “pre-journey, in anticipation of SEIF”, Lorenzo will document the state of our seas, the most meaningful stories of the Archipelago’s islands, the encounters made along the way, and the research activities carried out — showing how each experience connects to the central theme of SEIF 2025: “Community.”

This part of the journey will culminate on June 5th with the press conference launching SEIF, held aboard Milanto, moored in Portoferraio — the very day she will set sail on her great voyage through the Mediterranean!

Captain’s Log: Lorenzo’s Journey between SEIF and the Fragrances Riviera, Essenzamare and Stella

During the 7 stages across the Tuscan Archipelago and the thirteen stages throughout the Mediterranean, Lorenzo will create a logbook of photos, videos, and texts, telling the story of each place with a curious and passionate eye.

Updated in real time, the logbook will offer evocative accounts of lived experiences, enriched with impressions that echo Acqua dell’Elba’s new fragrances: Riviera, Essenzamare, and Stella. Follow the adventure step by step and let yourself be carried away by the scents and stories that shape the identity of the Mediterranean.
