The Venice Film Festival 2025 was once again confirmed as the stage of excellence, where every appearance tells a story of style.
As experts in artistic perfumery, we have selected five unforgettable moments from this edition, pairing them with the finest creations from our niche perfume collection.
Because every great look finds its completeness in the invisible magic of a signature fragrance.
1. Emily Blunt: Crystal Goddess and Kajal “Dahab”
Emily Blunt literally charmed the sixth night of the Festival in a Tamara Ralph gown that looked as if it had been sculpted in the light itself.
Studded with crystals that reflected every photographers’ flash, the British actress transformed into a contemporary mermaid, emerging from the waters of the lagoon as a vision of pure Hollywood elegance.
The fragrance that captures its essence: Kajal “Dahab”
Like the crystals in Emily’s dress that catch and reflect the light, “Dahab” by Arab maison Kajal is an olfactory jewel that sparkles with unique personality.
This fruity, sophisticated creation opens with the sparkling freshness of green Granny Smith apple and bergamot, just like the first glimmers of the dress in the spotlight.
The heart reveals the exotic sensuality of passion fruit and cedar, while the base of patchouli, musk and amber creates that magnetic and unforgettable trail that accompanies true movie divas.
“Dahab” turns every woman into a star: it is the scent of those who can shine without dazzling, those who possess that rare ability to be the center of attention while remaining authentically themselves.
Olfactory notes: Granny Smith Green Apple, Bergamot | Passion Fruit, Coriander, Cedar | Patchouli, Musk, Amber
2. Julia Roberts: Versace Elegance and Francesca Bianchi “Angel’s Dust”
Julia Roberts confirmed her status as a timeless icon with a Versace look that perfectly embodied the balance between classicism and contemporaneity.
Her appearance during the third evening was a masterclass in natural elegance: unforced, unexaggerated, simply perfect in her radiant authenticity.
The fragrance that pays tribute to her: Francesca Bianchi “Angel’s Dust”
To celebrate Julia’s timeless elegance, we chose “Angel’s Dust” by Italian visionary Francesca Bianchi, one of the most original voices in contemporary artistic perfumery.
This floral composition is a masterpiece of sophistication: it opens with the assertive character of black pepper and the delicacy of mimosa, creating a fascinating contrast that reflects the complex and multifaceted personality of the American actress. The heart of rose and iris, wrapped in a veil of musk, evokes the confident and self-conscious femininity that has made Julia Roberts a Hollywood legend.
“Angel’s Dust” is the olfactory poetry of authentic elegance: it does not shout, does not seduce with artifice, but conquers with the silent power of true beauty.
Olfactory notes: Black Pepper, Mimosa | Rose, Iris, Musk | Sandalwood, Tolu Balsam, Benzoin, Vanilla
3. Tilda Swinton: Chanel Minimalism and Labsolue “Pepper Wood.”
Tilda Swinton went the absolute minimalist route with a black and white Chanel ensemble that demonstrated how essentiality can be revolutionary.
His appearance was a style lesson for those who understand that true elegance lies in subtraction, not addition.
A look that speaks to those who dare to be different.
The fragrance that interprets its spirit: Labsolue “Pepper Wood”
For Tilda, a champion of elegant nonconformity, Labsolue’s “Wood of Pepper” represents the essence of contemporary olfactory minimalism. This woody composition is a manifesto of modernity: the black pepper in the opening is a statement of intent, direct and uncompromising. The heart’s benzoin adds a warm, enveloping dimension, while the base of guaiac wood and sandalwood creates the solid, reassuring base that characterizes strong, authentic personalities.
“Pepper Wood” is the scent of those who do not need to justify their choices: linear, decisive, memorable in its apparent simplicity.
Olfactory notes: Black Pepper | Benzoin | Guaiac Wood, Sandalwood
4. Emanuela Fanelli: Sparkling Godmother and Lorenzo Pazzaglia “Sugar Kisses”
Emanuela Fanelli shone as the true godmother of this Venetian edition, masterfully alternating between the silver gray of the debut and the blazing red of the subsequent evenings.
Her Alberta Ferretti looks told the story of a woman who knows how to be a protagonist with grace, carrying on her shoulders the weight and honor of representing Italian cinema in the world.
The fragrance that celebrates his role: Lorenzo Pazzaglia “Sugar Kisses”
For the godmother of Venice 2025, we chose “Sugar Kisses” by Italian master perfumer Lorenzo Pazzaglia, a gourmand composition that is pure olfactory seduction.
This fragrance is a tribute to Italian sweetness: it opens with fior di latte and cocoa butter, evoking the warm and welcoming atmosphere of our tradition.
The heart of chocolate and roasted hazelnut tells of the passion and creativity of Made in Italy, while the base of vanilla, caramel and barricaded rum creates that enveloping and irresistible trail that accompanies true red carpet queens.
“Sugar Kisses” is the scent of Italian hospitality, beauty that nourishes the soul and glamour that knows how to be warm and authentic.
Olfactory notes: Fior di Latte, Cocoa Butter, Heliotrope | Chocolate, Roasted Hazelnut, Tonka Bean | Vanilla, Caramel, Barricaded Rhum
5. Kaia Gerber and Lewis Pullman: Young Love and Lumi “Wonderfulness.”
The festival’s youngest and most charming couple made their love story official right on the scarlet tongue of Venice, giving us one of the most romantic moments of this edition.
Kaia Gerber, with her innate elegance inherited from mom Cindy Crawford, proved that the new Hollywood generation can be glamorous without losing the spontaneity of youth.
The fragrance that captures their energy: Lumi “Wonderfulness”
To celebrate the young love and freshness of this couple, Lumi’s “Wonderfulness” is the perfect choice.
This fruity creation is pure olfactory poetry: the champagne bubbles of the opening capture the effervescence of falling in love, while the fresh strawberries of the heart tell of the sweetness of first kisses. The velvety cream base adds that enveloping softness that characterizes authentic love, the kind that knows how to be passionate and tender at the same time.
“Wonderfulness” is the scent of those who discover the world with new eyes, of those who still know how to be amazed and amaze.
