The story

Bois 1920 tells a Florentine story that began in the 1920s in Guido Galardi's small workshop. The name Bottega Italiana Spigo 1920 refers to the lavender he gathered in the hills around Florence and to early work with essential oils, scented solutions, and perfumed sachets.

Today, the house connects that origin with continuing research into new combinations of raw materials. The result is a varied niche-perfumery portfolio in which collections such as Oro and Cannabis offer distinct ways to interpret Florentine fragrance culture for the present.

01 · Florence and Spigo

A workshop story from the hills around Florence

In the 1920s, Guido Galardi began developing his first formulas in Florence. Florentine spigo, or lavender, became a starting point for essential oils, scented solutions, and perfumed sachets. This connection between place, material, and workshop experimentation shaped the name Bottega Italiana Spigo 1920.

02 · Tradition and research

Olfactory ideas with character

The house describes each creation as its own form of alchemy and places the quality of raw materials at the center. In Oro 1920, this approach takes on a rich, golden signature; the Oro collection also shows the house's willingness to explore familiar materials in new proportions.

03 · Florentine niche perfumery

From family heritage to an international presence

Bois 1920 places its work within Florentine niche perfumery. The official brand history also documents its selection among the five best olfactory expressions at the 2012 FiFi Awards in New York. It is a concrete milestone without reducing the house to an award.

Community

What the community says about Bois 1920

10/10

„The fragrance is brilliant because it is sparkling, fresh, fruity and my wife loves the scent on me. It was a blind buy, but I would buy it again and again. It's a must-try.“

sven70Cannabis Salata

10/10

„Tried this in the morning as soon as it arrived and wore it to college cause I couldn't wait to try it! Felt like the skunkiest, freshest, and coolest smelling person in the city. Perfect wear for a hot but gloomy summery day. You can basically feel the salt in the air and in your head you go to beautiful beaches, sunbathing in the heat, wet from the sea. In the distance there's a lemon tree, maybe a lemonade on the table. The day is passing and the sun is going down and you light an insence stick and some grass. Truly a story within a scent.“
