Craft Your Custom Fragrance at Salotto21 with Scuola Parola

Hosted in collaboration between Scuola Parola and Salotto21 (FF-Tour), this unique sensory experience invites language learners, travelers, and fragrance enthusiasts to explore the rich history of Florentine scent-making while creating a bespoke perfume to take home.

Why Florence is the Capital of Artisan Perfumery
