Expressive perfumes shaped by memory, theatre and taste

About Hilde Soliani

Hilde Soliani is an independent Italian perfume house based in Parma. Artist and perfumer Hilde Soliani established the line after a career in marketing and a return to theatre and jewellery design. Her official biography describes a small Parma laboratory and fragrances shaped by personal memories, emotions and sensory experiences.

The house has developed several collections, including Teatro Olfattivo di Parma, Ti Amo, Senshilde and Profumo e Gusto in Libertà. The food-inspired collection began in 2008, translating memorable dishes and ingredients into perfume. The current range continues to add new releases alongside long-running compositions.

Hilde Soliani is known in the perfume community for expressive, often playful compositions, including gourmand scents, while the wider catalogue also covers florals, woods and other styles. The Parma setting and the perfumer's personal approach give the collection a distinctly authored character.
