Roberto Ugolini is an esteemed Italian brand that was established in 2019. Renowned enthusiasts of exquisite custom shoes from all corners of the world find themselves drawn to Florence, particularly Via dei Michelozzi, situated right in Piazza Santo Spirito. It is here, discreetly tucked between an osteria and a café, that they discover the entrance to a small workshop that serves as the gateway to the finest leather craftsmanship in the world: Roberto Ugolini.

Over the span of more than two decades, Ugolini has honed his craft to such a degree that his shoes have garnered extreme admiration from individuals spanning Singapore to New York. Stepping into the Ugolini workshop feels akin to entering a magical wonderland. The air is permeated with the scent of the finest Florentine leather as the shoes are meticulously arranged in rows, exuding an atmosphere of unparalleled luxury. The workshop is imbued with the fragrance of fine waxes, balms, and an overall sense of refined taste.

Roberto Ugolini himself possesses a fervent affinity for collecting uncommon and artistic fragrances. Perhaps it is his appreciation for the sumptuousness that connects fine leather and perfume that fuels this passion. As fate would have it, a long-time patron of his, Herbert Stricker, a discerning perfume connoisseur and aficionado of craftsmanship, encouraged Ugolini to transition from fragrance enthusiast and collector to the creative director of his own line of exceptional fragrances.

Drawing inspiration from Stricker’s extensive experience as a retail distributor of fragrances, they worked harmoniously to curate a meticulously crafted collection of scents that pay homage to the rich history and unparalleled artistry of Florentine craftsmen. In keeping with this ethos, the leather labels adorning each bottle are individually hand-punched and meticulously affixed, while the caps are meticulously fashioned from exquisite ram’s horn, allowing for a choice between a matte or polished finish.

Roberto Ugolini’s perfumes are timeless, distinctive, and refined. Just as choosing to wear a handcrafted leather shoe or bag forged by the hands of a skilled Florentine artisan reflects an appreciation for hours of devoted labor, respect for tradition and history, adorning oneself with one of their fragrances signifies an emphasis on personal identity and the pursuit of individuality.

The Roberto Ugolini fragrance brand currently features seven exquisite perfumes in its collection. Since its inception in 2019, the brand has continued to innovate, with the most recent addition to its repertoire being introduced in 2023. Collaborating with acclaimed perfumers Christian Carbonnel, Blanca Dalmau, Maurizio Cerizza, Cristian Calabro, and Laura Santander, Roberto Ugolini fragrances are a testament to the brand’s unwavering commitment to excellence and artistry.
