Trussardi

Dante Trussardi established his leather goods company in Bergamo, Lombardy in 1911 as a glove manufacturer — precisely as the automobile industry was creating new demand for driving gloves, touring accessories, and luxury leather goods. Over the following century, the Trussardi greyhound logo became a symbol of Italian quality craftsmanship, extending from gloves into bags, clothing, and eventually fragrance. The house entered fragrance in 1980 with Trussardi Pour Homme — a classic woody fougère that established the brand's masculine identity in fragrance. Inter Parfums has managed the fragrance licence since 2012.

Trussardi fragrances are created through Inter Parfums' working relationships with leading commercial perfumers, maintaining the house's Italian quality heritage. Trussardi Uomo (2013), created by multiple perfumers, uses bergamot, cardamom, cedar, vetiver, and amber in an accessible Italian masculine of genuine quality. Donna (2015), the feminine counterpart, uses bergamot, rose, iris, cedarwood, and musks in a clean Italian floral. Levriero Collection provides the house's most refined and exclusive compositions.

Trussardi Uomo (2013) is the house's most commercially consistent modern masculine — a bergamot-cardamom-cedar-vetiver Italian aromatic of quiet confidence. Its character mirrors the Bergamo-based house's identity: quality without ostentation, Italian without theatrics. The Levriero Collection, named for the house's greyhound symbol, provides deeper and more complex compositions for the Trussardi enthusiast.

Trussardi occupies accessible luxury — EDTs from €45-€75 — with 110 years of Italian leather craftsmanship giving the fragrance programme an artisanal heritage credential comparable to Ferragamo at a more competitive price point.

Every Trussardi fragrance at The Scent Stories® is 100% authentic, factory-sealed and brand-packaged — sourced from authorised channels and shipped worldwide.

Trussardi — Common Questions

When was Trussardi founded?

Dante Trussardi established his leather goods company in Bergamo, Lombardy in 1911 as a glove manufacturer, supplying the early automobile industry. The greyhound logo became synonymous with Italian quality craftsmanship over the following century. Fragrances launched in 1980; Inter Parfums has managed the licence since 2012. The house's 110-year Italian artisanal heritage gives their fragrance programme genuine craft credibility.

What is Trussardi Uomo?

Trussardi Uomo (2013) is the house's most commercially consistent modern masculine — a bergamot-cardamom-cedar-vetiver Italian aromatic of quiet confidence. Its character mirrors the Bergamo heritage: quality without ostentation, distinctly Italian without theatrical maximalism. A reliable, well-constructed accessible masculine for those who appreciate understated Italian craft over bold fashion-brand statements.

How does Trussardi compare to Salvatore Ferragamo in Italian artisan fragrance?

Both are Italian artisanal houses with leather-craft heritage and fragrance programmes at comparable accessible luxury prices. Ferragamo has stronger global brand recognition (Hollywood history, Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn) and stronger single-fragrance success (Signorina). Trussardi has the longer heritage (1911 versus 1927) and more understated Italian identity. For the buyer who prefers craft authenticity over celebrity association, Trussardi's quiet confidence is genuinely appealing.

Are Trussardi fragrances good quality?

Yes — Trussardi fragrances deliver consistent Italian quality at their accessible price point. Their Inter Parfums managed programme maintains standards comparable to other Italian accessible luxury houses. Longevity is typically 6-9 hours with moderate projection — appropriate for a house whose identity is quiet confidence rather than aggressive presence.
