Luxury Getaway Inspired by the Art of Perfumery & Scandinavian Gastronomy
You will dive deep into the world of wild perfumery and, by the end of the journey, create your own signature scent.
After the fragrance experience, gastronomy becomes an equally important part of the retreat. Through a curated programme of tastings and culinary encounters, you will explore the intersection of Scandinavian gastronomy, from Scandinavian botanical gins, Norwegian chocolate, Danish liquorice, Kalix löjrom, caviar to truffles and Italian cheeses.
The Perfume & Culinary Getaway unfolds at Oliveto Estate, a private retreat set among the rolling hills of Le Marche, surrounded by olive groves, vineyards and open countryside.
Alongside perfume and gastronomy, the week includes city strolls in Civitanova Marche, coastal nature walks and time to unwind at the spa. Italian catering and relaxed family-style dining bring the warmth of the Italian table into the experience.
A week to slow down, connect, discover new flavours and scents, and share memorable moments with an international group of like-minded guests.
