The latest “olfactory polaroid” between literature and perfume
Florence, September 13, 2025 – In conjunction with Pitti Fragranze 2025, perfumer Michele Marin invites press and fragrance lovers to an exclusive event titled traDire: an evening dedicated to the union of words and aroma, where literature and fragrance blend into a unique sensorial experience.
The philosophy behind the Michele Marin Essenza brand is rooted in the concept of the “olfactory polaroid”: a fragrance as a snapshot of life, a fleeting and profound moment captured in memory through a masterful and alchemical olfactory formula. As Michele Marin himself states, a fragrance must capture and define an unrepeatable moment—like a photograph of the soul.
In an interview on the official website, Marin describes his creations as a deep embrace, crafted with care and passion: a collection of distilled emotions designed to attune the self to the essence and to inspire dreams in those who wear them.
The traDire event will take place on September 13, 2025 at 6:30 PM at Aria Art Gallery – Borgo SS. Apostoli 40r, Florence. An exclusive cocktail reception will be held by invitation only, where Michele Marin’s olfactory creations will intertwine with literary evocations in a synesthetic dialogue between scent and story.
