L’Erbolario, Lodi’s perfumed herbarium

Founded: 1978
Origin: Lodi, Italy
Category: Alternatives / Clones
At Fragsplit: 1 fragrance

Founded in Lodi in 1978 by Daniela Villa and Franco Bergamaschi, L’Erbolario began as a small artisanal herbal shop. The brand developed its first skincare products from family recipes, then moved its production in 1983 and settled in San Grato in 1994. It remains an Italian family-owned company, becoming a Società Benefit in 2021.

L’Erbolario combines plant extracts, distilled waters and Italian cosmetic research. Its fragrances draw inspiration from plants, flowers, fruits and woods, with an aesthetic inspired by vintage botanical illustrations. Production takes place in Italy, following a family-run approach rooted in phytocosmetics.

Right now at Fragsplit, 1 L'Erbolario fragrance is available as a 1 to 10 ml decant: Méharées.
