# Roberto Ugolini Perfumes - Florentine Craftsmanship in Fragrance
## The Roberto Ugolini Story - From Shoemaker to Perfumer
Roberto Ugolini represents exceptional craftsmanship at its finest. This Florentine master shoemaker has built a global reputation over two decades for creating bespoke shoes. His workshop on Via dei Michelozzi in Florence serves as a pilgrimage site for shoe enthusiasts worldwide.
The journey into perfumery began through a special friendship. Herbert Stricker, a German perfume connoisseur and longtime Ugolini customer, recognized the potential to translate the shoemaker's artisanal philosophy into fragrance creation. This collaboration gave birth to the first Roberto Ugolini fragrances in 2019.
The brand embodies the essence of Florentine craftsmanship. Each fragrance reflects the same dedication to perfection that Ugolini puts into his shoes. The philosophy is clear: timelessness, uniqueness, and taste take center stage. The fragrances should emphasize the wearer's personality, not overpower it.
Florence influences every aspect of the brand. Bottle colors draw inspiration from the city's characteristic tones. Names like [Marzocco](/perfume/roberto-ugolini-marzocco) honor Florence's heraldic lion, while [17 Rosso](/perfume/roberto-ugolini-17-rosso) and [4 Rosso](/perfume/roberto-ugolini-4-rosso) reflect the addresses of Ugolini's workshops. This connection to the Renaissance city gives each fragrance authentic cultural depth.
## Roberto Ugolini Signature Collections - Craftsmanship in Bottles
The Roberto Ugolini collection stands out through exceptionally high fragrance oil concentrations. With 20 to 30 percent, most creations achieve Eau de Parfum or Extrait de Parfum strength. This intensity ensures impressive longevity and sillage.
[Oxford](/perfume/roberto-ugolini-oxford) serves as Ugolini's personal favorite and was among the first fragrances in the collection. This woody-spicy composition embodies the elegance of the classic men's shoe. Christian Carbonnel and other renowned perfumers like Maurizio Cerizza and Cristian Calabrò have contributed to various creations.
The shoe inspiration shows in names like [Blue Suede Shoes](/perfume/roberto-ugolini-blue-suede-shoes), [Loafer](/perfume/roberto-ugolini-loafer), and [High Heel White](/perfume/roberto-ugolini-high-heel-white). Each fragrance interprets the characteristics of its respective shoe model olfactorily. [Kitten Heel](/perfume/roberto-ugolini-kitten-heel) captivates with floral elegance, while [Derby](/perfume/roberto-ugolini-derby) surprises with spicy accents.
Particularly noteworthy are the Extrait creations like [Patina](/perfume/roberto-ugolini-patina), the newest addition from 2024. These fragrances reach concentrations up to 35 percent, offering exceptional depth and complexity. You can test these intense compositions as samples before committing to full sizes.
The packaging underscores the artisanal quality: genuine horn caps, hand-punched leather labels, and specially designed atomizers for high fragrance concentrations show attention to detail.
