Cale Fragranze d’Autore

Calé Fragranze d’Autore was launched in 2008, and its associated parent company, Calé, was founded on 7 April 1955 by the Casolari sisters. Silvio Levi joined the family business and took its leadership in 1995 after a career in chemical-pharmaceutical research. He shaped the collection from stories, memories, and emotions, working with internationally known perfumers to translate lived or imagined narratives into fragrance. Music also became part of the concept through a musical journey developed with composer Philip Abussi, whose compositions responded to the fragrances. The initial 2009 launch comprised eight fragrances created in collaboration with Maurizio Cerizza. In 2019, the brand redesigned its packaging, retained the original perfumes, and reached a total of 12 fragrances, all in eau de parfum concentration. Its distinctive fragrance identity lies in the collection as a whole: stories and emotions expressed through scent rather than a documented single bestseller or signature fragrance.
