Edda Salvadori
Edda Salvadori trained at the Italian Perfumery Institute, where she stood out among her peers early on. By 22, she was already deep in collaboration with Jijide, channeling a very specific vision into the brand's debut fragrance. That work, "Oltre," landed in 2025 and announced a perfumer who understood how to translate abstract cultural ideas into something you could wear. She has since worked across major fragrance houses and independent projects, including Songes Parfumés, where she participated in live creator events in Brussels. Now based in France, Edda continues to build her practice across multiple houses, bringing her Italian sensibility to international contexts. She speaks Italian, English, and French fluently, which shapes both her creative process and her collaborative reach.

How Edda composes
Lavender appears as a recurring signature in Edda's work, but she treats it with a contemporary freshness that avoids classical restraint. She pairs aromatic herbs with bright citrus and pink pepper for lift, then grounds those top notes with deeper resins and warm woods. Her style occupies a satisfying middle ground: accessible enough to wear daily, layered enough to reward attention. She avoids the obvious and gravitates toward combinations that feel both surprising and inevitable.
Philosophy
What drives Edda
Edda approaches each fragrance as a story with a clear beginning and arc. For "Oltre," she wanted to capture something specific about Italians leaving, translating a cultural moment into scent without resorting to clichés. She builds her compositions architecturally, ensuring every material serves the narrative. Her work suggests a perfumer who asks hard questions before she picks up a bottle: What should this smell like? What should it make you feel? The answers guide everything that follows.
