Bacio is one of the most famous images by Fornasetti. The face is that of opera singer Lina Cavalieri, the artist's muse featured in more than 350 of his designs.
The "Otto" (Eight) scent is a sophisticated and unique scent that transcends time, season, gender, and borders. It includes ingredients that were of personal significance to the artist: Mediterranean herbs that were found in and around the family home, woods often utilized in interior designs or pieces of furniture created by Fornasetti. Other more ethereal ingredients, such as incense, conjure a latent spirituality or sense of dreamscape that is often present in Fornasetti graphic poetry.

During his long career he perfected his art and made use of a rich visual vocabulary that is instantly recognizable and constantly engages. Fornasetti designed a magical dream world, saturated in richness of imagery and filled with whimsical humor.
The Fornasetti Atelier in Milan is an outpost of careful and accomplished craft production.
