Born on the Island of Elba

The iconic brands

Two world-famous names were born right here, on Elba, and carry the island's name and spirit everywhere: Acqua dell'Elba perfumes and Locman watches.

Since 2000

Acqua dell'Elba

The scent of the sea

A perfumery founded in late 2000 in Marciana Marina by three Elban friends, to capture in a bottle the essence of the sea and the Mediterranean scrub. From the Classica line to the Arcipelago, Blu and Sport collections: fragrances that have become a symbol of the island, with single-brand shops across Italy.
