Meo Fusciuni

Meo Fusciuni is an independent Italian perfume house created in 2010 by Sicilian biochemist and ethnobotanist Giuseppe Imprezzabile, who works under the poetic name Meo Fusciuni. The brand was co-founded with his partner Federica Castellani, who serves as artistic director. Based in Salsomaggiore Terme in northern Italy, Imprezzabile composes every fragrance himself in his own atelier, drawing directly on his background in chemistry, botany, and herbal medicine.

The first releases formed the Trilogy of Journey, a series built around three places that marked the founder’s life: Istanbul, Morocco, and Sicily. This beginning set the tone for the brand’s focus on perfume as narrative: each scent is conceived as a written idea or poem before it becomes a formula, a process the house summarizes in the phrase “storytelling is the body of perfume.” Later collections such as the Cycle of Poetry and subsequent works continued this diary-like structure, with Narcotico in 2014 marking the house’s first parfum concentration.

Meo Fusciuni is known for a high use of natural raw materials, often combined with carefully chosen aroma molecules to create specific textures and moods. Notes like vetiver and Hedione recur in multiple compositions, reflecting the founder’s interest in balancing organic richness with airy movement. The result is a catalog of fragrances that frequently explore introspective, sometimes shadowy themes, blurring the line between personal memoir, literature, and olfactory composition.
