Culti Milano: The unrivalled benchmark in the world of home fragrances

By Melanie Kruger   |  

When it comes to home fragrance, there is one brand that is always one step ahead of the game, and over the past 26 years, Culti Milano has earned itself cult status.

Founded by eclectic interior designer Alessandro Agrati back in 1990, the past two and a half decades have seen the Italian brand become a household name, sealing its status with the creation of the world’s very first reed diffuser – which has, in itself, achieved meteoric success around the world.

While the name Culti Milano is not a new one to those in the know, the brand has undergone an intensive process of renewal over the past two years, overhauling its company strategy in a bid to reaffirm itself as the high-end choice for the discerning and affluent home owner –and, of course, continuing to be a trail blazer in the pursuit of captivating new fragrances. Suffice it to say, it’s the beginning of a whole new era for the esteemed brand.

The newly launched ‘Welcome’ line consists of four sophisticated 1000ml reed diffusers alongside two 500ml body care products, and as huge fans of Culti Milano’s existing arsenal of products, we couldn’t wait to give them a try.

The moisturising hand soap and hand cream are set to add an air of luxury to any man’s bathroom, and are sure to impress guests with their captivating scents – choose from the energising notes of Aqqua, or fresh, floral scent of Ode Rosae. As an added bonus, they are also paraben and mineral oil free, gently soothing skin without any of the nasty ingredients we are so keen to avoid.

The reed diffusers are also available in these tempting fragrances, along with the popular Aramara and Tessuto – a variegated bouquet for all seasons, with citrus, floral and woody nuances on offer. Something to suit all tastes – or if you simply can’t decide, then one for each room of your house!
