Gocce di Byron

Vernazza


Cinque Terre's lemon trees, vineyards and seashore are among the inspirations for the alluring fragrances created by the locally based perfume maker. At this sunny little shop, you can browse the five signature scents, each named after Cinque Terre places (like Guvano, made of white musk and sandalwood). It also sells skincare products, scented candles and diffusers.

Each fragrance also features a line from a Lord Byron poem ('pleasure's a sin, and sometimes sin's a pleasure'). Byron fell in love with the region, particularly Porto Venere. There, you'll find a second Gocce di Byron store.
