Balio Garden – Silence and Power
Extrait de Parfum - 100 ml
The Concept
High above Erice, the Giardino del Balio (Balio Garden) holds an ancient silence, broken only by the wind brushing against medieval stones and the scent of aromatic plants growing amidst the walls. Every step is an encounter with the quiet, magnetic power of Sicily—a place where time seems to stand still and the soul is filled with both serenity and strength.
The Consumer
Art and design enthusiasts in search of excellence and authenticity. Men and women who love sensual, enveloping fragrances with a strong personality. Sophisticated souls seeking scents that reflect their exclusive lifestyle.
Jewel-like Box
A rigid, textured box wrapped in fine-grained, ivory-white paper. A silver border frames the crest featuring a turreted crown, while a polished silver-foil label at the center elegantly displays the words "Collezione Privata" (Private Collection) and the fragrance name, GIARDINO DEL BALIO.
At the bottom, the inscription "Extrait de Parfum" confirms the fragrance's high concentration. An understated, elegant box houses and protects the precious fragrance.
The Bottle
Transparent and sculpted with clean lines, the bottle features subtle relief details that evoke the artistry of blown glass, with the brand name "Acqua di Taormina" engraved upon it.
The polished silver Zamak cap is screen-printed on all sides, lending solidity and a sense of quality to the bottle. The year "2009"—marking the brand's inception—is engraved on the back of the bottle.

Acqua di Taormina Private Collection
Born from the journey of a perfumer captivated by the pure, wild beauty of Sicily.
A man who, stop by stop, gathered emotions, images, and scents, transforming them into six fragrances that tell the story of the island's magic. Each perfume is a fragment of that journey: a salty dawn, a hidden garden, the warm breath of sun-baked stone.
Refined raw materials blend with an intimate, personal vision to create deep, elegant, and unforgettable essences. Collezione Privata is not merely a line of fragrances. It is the scented memory of a journey, a tribute to a land that leaves its mark. It is the scent of Sicily, indelible on your skin.
