This Perfumer Writes a Poem Before Every Perfume Meo Fusciuni
From The Perfumed Perspective.

Giuseppe Imprezzabile is the founder and perfumer of Meo Fusciuni, the independent Italian perfume house behind Little Song, Viole Nere and Buio. I met him at ScentXplore in New York in November 2026, and this is our conversation.
Giuseppe was born in Mazara del Vallo in Sicily and trained as a herbalist in Parma. He started Meo Fusciuni in a herbalist's shop in Salsomaggiore Terme, showed his first perfumes in Milan in 2010, and has composed all eighteen Meo Fusciuni perfumes himself. He named the house for his father and his grandfather. He writes a poem before he makes each perfume, and he calls himself "a man who writes perfumes."
Meo Fusciuni groups its perfumes in three collections: Travel Memories, Luminous Self-Portraits and Dark Self-Portraits. Viole Nere won the Accademia del Profumo's 2024 award for the best artistic perfume from an independent brand.
Istituto dell'Odore is the second perfume house Giuseppe has started with his partner, Federica Castellani, who is the art director of Meo Fusciuni. They presented it for the first time at Pitti Fragranze in Florence in September 2026. Each Istituto dell'Odore perfume is built on one raw material. The one I brought home is Iris è nata a Berlino, which is built on iris absolute.
I open the video with Little Song, Giuseppe's 2018 perfume of ground coffee, dried rose and unlit tobacco.
This is the first in a new series of perfumer interviews on The Perfumed Perspective. Members of the Salon can also watch Giuseppe on stage at ScentXplore, talking about poetry and perfume.
The Salon is the membership for The Perfumed Perspective. Salon members get the uncut interviews from ScentXplore, and they’ll get Giuseppe’s talk on poetry and perfume, filmed on stage in New York. On Friday the twentieth of November they get the Une Nuit Nomade deep dive, which the members chose by vote. On the ninth of December I’m holding the first perfume party, a recorded smell-along with Stora Skuggan’s discovery set, so you can join in from anywhere. If you’d like all of that, press Join under this video and choose the Salon.
Perfumes named in this video: Little Song, Notturno, Buio, Isola, Viole Nere and Iris è nata a Berlino.
