Our History
Erbe Spezie Firenze is a brand born in Florence, entirely Made in Italy. It offers a wide range of cosmetics and perfumes, inspired by nature and organic ingredients.
The choice to produce products in harmony with nature has its roots in the mists of time. Medicinal herbs, aromatic spices, and fragrant plants have always accompanied humankind.
The profound legacy left in Florence by the “Medieval Guild of Medicinal Herbs and Spices,” with the production of medicines, poultices, ointments, cosmetics, perfumes, and essences, culminated in the late Middle Ages with the publication of the so-called “Florentine Recipe Book,” a compendium of preparations extracted from plants that was destined to influence all subsequent research in Italy and abroad, and was the forerunner of contemporary natural cosmetics.
Thus began the transformation of cosmetics from medieval alchemy to modern natural cosmetics. As early as the 16th century, Catherine de' Medici, a connoisseur of cosmetic formulations and blends of natural essences, exported and introduced these preparations to the European courts.
This rediscovered memory, with a particular focus on ecology, has pushed us further towards in-depth research into the plants and aromas that nature offers us, leading to the creation of the “Erbe Spezie Firenze” brand.
Supported by modern scientific and technological research, while maintaining an artisanal approach to product optimization, "Erbe Spezie Firenze" offers high-quality products to meet increasingly demanding needs in terms of efficacy and safety.
Nature, innovation, and creativity combine to create the utmost attention to personal care, with products for the body and face. At the same time, our fragrances offer a moment of respite, almost ethereal, to recall places and people and offer new, enveloping emotions.
“For a moment I stopped to gaze, far away, on the horizon, the sky seemed to touch the earth and I noticed, where the iridescent sun stood out, that what joined such beauty was the lush vegetation… and an immense love pervaded my heart”
Dr. Giorgio Andrei
