Epicò

Founded in 2018 by Bologna-born Federico Gucciardi, Epicò Parfum is an Italian Made-in-Italy artistic perfume brand built around translating written stories, emotions, dreams, and memories into fragrance accords. Gucciardi describes its creations as “olfactory poems,” and the brand presents each Eau de Parfum as an artistic exploration arising from a vision, emotion, or story. Its creative process also draws on artists working in photography, poetry, sculpture, writing, painting, and graffiti. Epicò’s development began with scented candles and home fragrances under the subtitle “Calme Emotions” before expanding into personal fragrance, which it presented at Esxence in Milan in 2023. Vanì Charnel is described in the brand’s biography as one of Gucciardi’s most famous creations and is part of the Eau de Parfum line. In July 2026, Epicò introduced its first Extrait de Parfum collection at Esxence, with recurring ambery, boozy, and gourmand nuances identified across the collection.
