Empório Essenza is a family company founded in March 2005 in Marau, Rio Grande do Sul, by Lencaster Foresti and Patricia Foresti Fattini. It began after Patricia identified demand for cosmetics using grape-seed oil and wine extract, drawing on equipment, stock, packaging, and the name Essenza acquired from a former cosmetics business. From 2007, the company developed grape- and wine-based products, partnered with points of sale—especially wineries—and participated in fairs and events. Its identity centers on the Serra Gaúcha vineyards, with cosmetics and aromas intended for body care and home scenting. The home-aroma line began about three years after the company’s launch with a diffuser and an air freshener. In 2014, the business adopted the Empório Essenza name and visual identity and began franchising. In 2025, it marked 20 years in business and was still family-run as it developed into a national franchise network.
