Launched in 1978, Di Borghese by Princess Marcella Borghese was more than just a fragrance—it was an embodiment of Italian aristocratic refinement and timeless sophistication. The name itself, "Di Borghese," is deeply rooted in legacy and prestige. The phrase is Italian, pronounced dee bor-GAY-zeh, and translates to "of Borghese" or "belonging to Borghese." This choice of name directly tied the fragrance to Princess Marcella Borghese, the noblewoman who founded the Borghese cosmetics and fragrance brand.
Princess Marcella Borghese was a member of the illustrious Borghese family, a lineage dating back to the 16th century, known for its deep cultural and artistic contributions to Italy. A symbol of grace, sophistication, and luxury, the princess became a beauty entrepreneur, collaborating with Revlon to develop high-end skincare and cosmetics. Her vision was to translate the elegance of Italian nobility into accessible beauty rituals, and her fragrance creations were no exception.
