Italian artisanal perfumery with a signature Musc

About Bruno Acampora

Bruno Acampora is an Italian perfume house founded in Naples by Bruno Acampora in 1974. The founder began by making fragrances for himself and friends before offering them through his boutiques, including Sagan in Capri. Musc became the house's best-known creation and remains part of its current collection.

The company has kept a small laboratory focused on selecting materials and making fragrances through traditional methods. Its range includes Pure Essence, Extrait de Parfum and Eau de Parfum formats, with historic scents alongside newer collaborations and collections. The house remains family-led, with Bruno's son Brunello guiding the business today.

Bruno Acampora is known for concentrated, richly textured compositions, especially its musky and resinous signatures. The catalogue also explores floral, woody, citrus and amber directions, combining Italian heritage with an independent, small-scale approach to perfumery.
