The Prize

In the heart of Florence, along via di San Niccolò, master perfumer Sileno Cheloni celebrates the ritualistic side of life and the value of smell within the walls of his laboratory, investigating the unpredictable complexity of essences.
Thanks to a devoted research of the rarest raw materials, collected during his travels between East and West, Sileno Cheloni has created his own “olfactory library”: a thorough collection of over two hundred refined essences, which provide the starting point for any new creation. Each Sileno Cheloni fragrance thus becomes a ceremony of self-rediscovery, on a journey of inner exploration in the form of a breath.

Bespoke Perfume

Maestro Sileno Cheloni welcomes his guest to his Private Atelier for the creation of a personalized perfume.
The meeting involves the creation of a fragrance tailored to the personality, taste and olfactory memories of the guest through the selection (and the subsequent combination) from among the 200 rare essences collected by the Maestro in his
voyages of discovery.
The resulting eau de parfum is delivered (or shipped to any country) six weeks later, the time necessary to complete the fragrance’s maturation and maceration processes.
It is packaged in ten personalised 30 ml bottles engraved with the client’s initials by a Florentine master craftsman and comes with a certificate of the perfume’s authenticity signed by Maestro Sileno Cheloni.
• Duration: Two hours
• Location: The Maestro’s Private Atelier (Via de San Niccolò 95r in Florence)

The Cause

Since 2003, the Veronesi foundation has been pursuing a single objective: promoting the progress of science, health resources and ethical growth—civilly and in society.

"Science must always work for and with the human being,” declared the founder, Umberto Veronesi, “this means respect of the person, research for solutions and strategies that can improve the quality of life, offering new hopes for the present and for the generations in the future”.

At the core of the foundation there is barrier-free and scientific research that invests in young talent from each country, working toward answers to new questions using innovative and high-profile research programs dedicated to the prevention and diagnosis of tumors, cardiovascular disease and neuroscience, and the discovery of cure strategies that are efficient and beneficial to the entire community.

Unique in its genesis, the foundation has pushed its own interests outside the walls of a laboratory, encouraging social involvement and education in science. The Veronesi Foundation is also active with its devotion to science so that the results from science become available to everybody. Particularly, the foundation spreads the principles of prevention and correct lifestyle to keep disease away, even the most serious diseases that we can avoid just by changing our behavior.
