Founded in Milan in 1883 by Lorenzo Usellini, Satinine was born as a refined house of perfume and toilette creations. After the First World War the company evolved into a true olfactory workshop, giving life to fragrances that became icons of their time: Orchidea Nera, a bold and exotic floral creation, and Caccia alla Volpe, a perfume with an unmistakable character and international recognition.
