The Birth of Avau, A New Perfume Brand
Perfume is not just an olfactory signature, but a journey into the deepest essence of each of us.
From this philosophy comes Avau, the new brand founded by Leonardo, Carolina, and Caterina Catalani — three siblings from the third generation of a family deeply rooted in the Italian perfume industry. Growing up immersed in the world of perfumery and having developed a unique relationship with fragrance, they decided to create an olfactory experience that resonates with the soul, going beyond convention to become a true expression of self.
Avau was born with the intention of putting the consumer and their desires at the center, going beyond traditional criteria of selection. Each fragrance offers an introspective olfactory journey, allowing each person to choose their scent not just based on sensory preferences but also on emotions and intimate aspirations, making every perfume a reflection of the soul.
The name AVAU is also the phonetic equivalent of “a vow”: a tangible commitment to product excellence, sustainability, and an authentic relationship with customers.
The collection includes six fragrances, each with its own sensory depth — Golden Coast, Silent Drift, Petal Pop, Sculpted Land, Amber Shadow, and Exotic Oud.
