Sileno Cheloni, an internationally acclaimed perfumer, has harbored a deep-rooted passion for the art of fragrance since childhood. Growing up, he was irresistibly drawn to the enchanting universe of scents, embarking on an educational journey that laid the foundational stones for his craft. Cheloni delved into the intricacies of perfume creation, exploring both its scientific precision and artistic nuances—elements that would later define his distinctive approach to perfumery.
"Like my colour: placid blue. In products and clothing, my 'religion' is black or white, but placid blue mirrors a gloomy sky. It resonates with my mood—not gloomy for the sky's hue, but because it feels pensive, much like myself, always lost in thought. Sometimes I find solace in healthy solitude, feeling isolated yet centered. I’m inherently introverted, even though my work requires engaging with people and self-expression. In my private life, placid blue encapsulates me." —Sileno Cheloni
Cheloni’s illustrious career is defined by unwavering dedication to fragrance artistry. He has traversed East and West, sourcing rare raw materials to build an "olfactory library" of over two thousand refined essences. His relentless pursuit of excellence and innovation led to founding his own laboratory in Florence’s heart, where he continues crafting exceptional scents that mesmerize the senses.
Renowned for expertise and creativity, Cheloni has become a luminary in perfumery. Notable fragrances like A La Russe Rouge, Aquaflor Firenze La Habana, and Aquaflor Firenze Aphrodisya exemplify his mastery in blending diverse elements into cohesive, unforgettable olfactory narratives.
Central to Cheloni’s creative ethos is a profound understanding of scent’s emotional and spiritual dimensions. He views perfumes as tools for self-discovery, enabling individuals to reconnect with their innermost selves and unearth buried memories. This philosophy guides his process, driving him to craft fragrances that evoke powerful emotions and invite wearers on journeys of inner exploration.
Inspiration for Cheloni stems from global travels, reverence for life’s ritualistic moments, and a deep bond with nature. The color "placid blue" holds special significance, symbolizing his introspective nature and mirroring the meditative quality of his work.
