Elena Boggio, who owns the Via Stampatori B&B upstairs, has a passion for natural perfumes. She grows many of the botanical elements that go into her range of scents (which can be both worn on the skin or used as room sprays) herself.
Ingredients such as fig and liquorice, as well as indigenous herbs from Piedmont and Liguria, such as sanotreggia, are dreamily subtle and forcefully evocative in turns.
