THE NOSE BEHIND LARIUS

Bertrand
Duchaufour.

An acclaimed perfumer. A personal interpretation of Lake Como.

In 2008 Bertrand Duchaufour created LARIUS’s signature fragrance, inspired by Lake Como. Bertrand drew inspiration from the natural flora of the lake’s gardens, capturing the atmosphere of an afternoon beside a lakeside villa.

His creations include fragrances for L’Artisan Parfumeur, Sartorial for Penhaligon’s, and Colonia Assoluta for Acqua di Parma, co-created with Jean-Claude Ellena. His work also includes fragrances for Christian Dior, Givenchy and Comme des Garçons.

“I enjoyed creating a perfume which tells the story of the Lake, its landscape, its memories, the feelings of those who experience it.”BERTRAND DUCHAUFOUR

OUR STORY

A love of Lake Como.

LARIUS is the ancient Latin name for Lake Como, when, back in Roman times, Julius Caesar established a colony in Como in 59 BC.

At the heart of the fragrance is perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour. Inspired by the natural flora of the lake’s gardens, he translated its atmosphere into scent.
