Fragrance house

Rito

Rito originated in 2017 from an artistic intuition shared by Davide Martini and Stefano Torreggiani, who joined forces to create a creative space before officially establishing the fragrance house in 2020. Founded in Desenzano del Garda, Italy, Rito frames perfume as a form of identity within an Italian artistic-perfumery practice that brings together art, design, research, instinct and method. Martini and Torreggiani lead the artistic direction by translating an initial idea into olfactory language in collaboration with perfumers. Its fragrance narratives draw on ritual, memory, travel and personal identity: Riserva IX connects Lake Garda with Sicily, while Blackout explores darkness as a creative space. Launched in Italy on 4 December 2022, Blackout intentionally withheld its notes. In 2023, Gran Gala featured Miguel Matos as perfumer and Stefano Torregiani as creative director; it was listed as a finalist in the Independent category of the 2024 Art and Olfaction Awards.
