Danhera, founded by Daniela Ciaffardoni, with more than 30 years of experience in the industry, stands out in artistic perfumery for its philosophy of combining art, myth and contemporaneity. It is a ‘made-in-Italy excellence, for its use of high-quality ingredients, continuous olfactory innovation and craftsmanship.

This combination gives birth to an artistic and poetic vision that explores the hidden beauty in pristine landscapes and ancestral traditions, conveying pure emotions through unique olfactory creations. Danhera is present in 40 international countries with distribution in prestigious locations. The brand pays attention not only to the uniqueness of its olfactory compositions, but also to nature with a continuous search for sustainability, both in the products and in the eco-friendly recyclable materials used.
