“It all started by accident, – says Francesco Gaudiosi, the founder -” I found in the cellar an old brochure of my grandfather. In the twenties he was a salesman who visited barbers and perfume shops in the heart of Rome, by offering products for men’s grooming. I was particularly fascinated by illustrations and products’ descriptions, and I wondered if they still existed. Everything began from there, the search of products and historic brands in every corner of the world and the desire to recover not only the products, but also tell the stories of hundred-years-old companies “
In addition to distributing brands to a selected number of independent stores in Italy and in the world, especially niche perfumeries, barbers and concept stores, Original Toiletries has inaugurated in June 2015 the first flagship in Rome, forerunner of a global retail project, which plans to open additional retail stores and also corners inside iconic fashion and lifestyle stores.
