The Story
Why it exists.
The beginning
Luludi - Fiori Nomadi arrived in 2010, part of a new group of Segreti di Lucca fragrances devoted to secret places, reflection, and imagined travel. Simonetta Giurlani Pardini composed it as a floral tribute to wandering flowers, with the atmosphere of a flower garden in Lucca as its central image. The name joins Luludi with Fiori Nomadi. Romantic, serene, spontaneous, and distinctly feminine, the fragrance presents a floral composition with violet leaf, bergamot, pink pepper, rose, violet, jasmine, lily of the valley, orris, vanilla, white musk, and cedarwood arranged around that floral-garden atmosphere.
The interesting part is the contrast inside the bouquet. Violet leaf adds a leafy quality to the opening, while rose, violet, jasmine, and lily of the valley form the floral heart. The floral notes meet a powdery base of orris, vanilla, white musk, and cedarwood. Together, they create a composed floral signature in which the brighter notes remain distinct while the softer base gives the fragrance depth and continuity.
The evolution
It begins with a cool lift: violet leaf, bergamot, and pink pepper create a brisk, leafy impression, with pepper supplying a gentle point of tension. As the citrus softens, rose, violet, jasmine, and lily of the valley gather into a rounded floral heart. The powdery accord becomes more apparent here, giving the bouquet a suede-like softness without losing its green edge. During the drydown, vanilla and white musk settle into a warm, clean haze, while orris root and cedarwood give it structure. As the fragrance develops, the floral character remains present, moving from a brighter opening toward a softer, powdery expression in which musky vanilla, woody cedar, and the lingering floral notes form a composed finish.
Cultural impact
Luludi - Fiori Nomadi belongs to Segreti di Lucca's idea of fragrance as discovery. Its 2010 release reflects the house's interest in secret places and distant regions, giving it a cultured floral character. The composition pairs violet leaf, bergamot, and pink pepper with rose, violet, jasmine, lily of the valley, orris, vanilla, white musk, and cedarwood. The opening notes lend freshness and definition before the floral heart takes shape, while the powdery and woody base gives the fragrance a composed, quietly distinctive character.
The House
Segreti di LuccaSegreti di Lucca is an Italian fragrance house founded in 2004 by Simonetta Giurlani Pardini. Its identity is rooted in Lucca, a Tuscan city shaped by Renaissance streets, gardens, and a long association with the cultivated world of perfume. The house presents fragrance as a way of discovering character and place through scents inspired by nature, travel, and atmosphere. Its catalog spans floral, tobacco, and woody compositions, including Boheme, Elisa, Koh-do, Luludi, and Carib, Spiriti del Tabacco. The available documentation identifies no individual perfumers, allowing the fragrances themselves to define the house’s distinctive character.
The Creator
Simonetta Giurlani PardiniGiurlani Pardini's signature moves toward clarity of expression and refined textural contrast. Her work with vanilla demonstrates a preference for lightness and air, treating sweetness as something to be edited and reshaped rather than simply amplified.
