Vittorio Character Spotlight — Fragrancia’s Renaissance Herbalist

Vittorio Character Spotlight — Keeper of Renaissance Secrets

As the travelers arrive in Renaissance Florence, they are greeted by Vittorio — a master herbalist whose knowledge of plants and fragrance stretches back through generations.

Vittorio is short in stature but full of wisdom. His weathered face and kind eyes sit behind wire-rimmed glasses, and his bald head is framed by patches of white hair on either side. In his hand, he carries a cane that helps him navigate the stone pathways of his carefully tended private garden.

Inside Vittorio’s garden, nature flourishes in ways few have ever seen. Lavender blooms fill the air with calm, while bergamot and bitter orange trees line the walkways. Rosemary, iris root, and countless herbs grow in perfect balance under his care. This special place is not only beautiful but serves as a living classroom, where knowledge of scent, medicine, and nature is passed down.

As the Fragrancia team — Apollo, Sahara, Leon, Luna, and Stripy — enter his garden, Vittorio helps guide each of them to ingredients that reflect their personal fragrance journeys. His insight allows the travelers to better understand how scents are not simply made, but chosen, blended, and inspired by both history and the person who wears them.

Vittorio’s knowledge of Renaissance perfumery connects the ancient art of scent to the growing science of his era. During the Renaissance, distillation techniques advanced, allowing herbalists like Vittorio to capture aromas more precisely. The foundation he provides helps shape the group’s next steps as their quest for signature scents continues.

Every ingredient carries meaning, and every encounter in Fragrancia leads them one step closer to completing their vials.
