Important notice:
Zanini blends are living botanical compositions, crafted entirely from natural materials and free from synthetic fixatives or stabilizers. As with all things living, subtle variations are part of their nature: over time, you may notice a gentle evolution in colour, texture, or the appearance of natural sediment. These are not imperfections, but part of the character of the raw materials themselves.
These blends are olfactive smellscapes (but neither aromatherapy, nor ‘spray-and-go’ perfumes) and sensory experiences, closer to works of art created in the scented plane (rather than, say, visual or audio).
Certain essential oils and absolutes that are used in Zanini’s 100% natural blends may potentially cause allergies in some people. Please spray Zanini’s blends on fabric (on sleeves, scarves, etc.).
Zanini advise that those who are prone to allergic reactions, pregnant and nursing women, as well as people with chronic illnesses to be extra careful. Before trying natural blends, study the list of ingredients and consult with a doctor if you are not sure or a had a history of allergies. If you do decide to put these blends on your skin (unable to resist the temptation) always test the blend on the inside part of your elbow first and wait.
Do not spray these blends liberally as a cloud in the way you would spray a conventional perfume. Zanini’s smellscapes need to be… carefully applied and experienced. Be mindful that some oils can also make your skin hyper-sensitive to UV.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is a scent for close conversation in low light, when the room is quiet enough for its savory edges to register before the rose blooms. It projects an intellectual, slightly unsettling elegance, like a dark silk jacket worn with something unexpectedly sharp underneath.
How to wear
Best worn in cool weather and applied sparingly, ideally on fabric rather than sprayed broadly. As an extrait with natural materials, it will sit close and evolve slowly, with the umami opening softening into a deeper rose-oud trail. A light touch gives it the most clarity and prevents the savory notes from becoming too dense.
Who it’s for
For wearers who like rose fragrances with tension: dark florals, leathered textures, natural perfumery and unconventional gourmand or savory accents. It will appeal to those who enjoy niche compositions that feel artistic, dense and a little challenging rather than pretty or transparent.

The nose
Filippo Zanini is the owner and perfumer behind Zanini, a natural-perfumery house built around highly conceptual compositions. His work leans into unusual materials and sensory contrasts, treating fragrance less as decoration than as an immersive, artistic medium. Rosa Umami V2 fits that approach precisely: it takes a rose heart and pushes it through savory, fermented and resinous textures, creating a composition that is deliberately off-center but still polished. The result reflects Zanini’s taste for small-batch, idea-driven extrait formulas with a strong authorial stamp.
Zanini’s story
Zanini is an Italian natural-perfumery house devoted to creating “smellscapes” rather than conventional perfumes. Its compositions aim to translate places, moods and sensations into scent, with a strong emphasis on artistic intent, limited editions and natural materials.
Rosa umami V2’s concept
Rosa Umami V2 follows the original Rosa Umami as a limited-edition continuation of Zanini’s umami-rose concept. The fragrance was conceived as a contrast between savory, almost fermented darkness and a refined rose bouquet, turning an edible, borderline unsettling opening into something more luxurious and floral.
Extra info
Rosa Umami V2 is a limited-edition extrait from Zanini. The house describes its fragrances as “smellscapes,” and the brand’s natural blends are made without synthetic fixatives or stabilizers. The original Rosa Umami preceded this V2 release, making it a follow-up rather than a standalone concept.
