The Fragrance
Between light and shadow, clarity and mystery, Veritas offers a deeply refined sensory experience. Vibrant accords of pink pepper, cardamom, and nutmeg create a harmonious burst of energy and radiance from the very first impression. At its heart, powerful, powdery iris merges with the enveloping warmth of helichrysum and cashmeran. In the base, a bold fusion of labdanum, vetiver, and incense leaves a rich, sensual trail that conveys understated confidence.

Heart Notes: Iris, Helichrysum, Cashmeran
Base Notes: Labdanum, Vetiver, Incense
Key Ingredient: Extracted from natural roots and revered since the Renaissance, iris is powerful, powdery, and exudes a noble presence.
The Nose
One of the most acclaimed Italian perfumers of his generation, Luca Maffei is known for creating bold, memorable fragrances inspired by the beauty that surrounds him and by his instinct for transforming emotion into scent.
Founder of Atelier Fragranze Milano, he collaborates with some of the world’s most prestigious fashion houses, creating fragrances that blend technical precision, artistic sensibility, and a deep commitment to the quality of raw materials.
“As a Milanese, I was delighted to take part in this project, which brings together the tradition of historic barbershops and the timeless elegance of my city. I sought to merge my vision of perfumery with this unique heritage, transforming it into an olfactory language that feels direct, elegant, and timeless.”

The Cameo
Encased in a precious 100 ml faceted glass bottle inspired by antique crystal perfume ampoules, the fragrance presents itself as a true objet d’art. A refined brass-finished metal structure enhances its silhouette, while a finely engraved cap seals its elegance.
The bottle is adorned with a distinctive cameo depicting Alessandro Manzoni, emblematic figure of Milan and author of The Betrothed, a work that left an indelible mark on Italian literature and the city’s cultural heritage.
