Launched in 1993, Il Bacio—pronounced "eel bachee-o", and meaning "The Kiss" in Italian—embodies the sensuality and passion of its name. Created by Givaudan Roure, this fragrance was a bold yet elegant expression of the era, blending fruity florals with soft woody notes to create an unforgettable olfactory experience. The name itself evokes an intimate moment, a lingering embrace captured in scent, making Il Bacio a fitting tribute to romance and femininity.
Princess Marcella Borghese, a noblewoman of Italian descent, was renowned for her sophisticated taste and dedication to beauty. As a member of the illustrious Borghese family, her name carried connotations of aristocracy, refinement, and timeless elegance. While her earlier fragrance Di Borghese paid homage to her lineage, Il Bacio took a more personal approach, celebrating emotion, passion, and human connection rather than heritage alone. The phrase Il Bacio rolls off the tongue with a musical quality, conjuring visions of moonlit Italian villas, whispered confessions, and the fleeting, electrifying moment before a kiss.
