The Atelier-Home

An essential element of Maria Candida’s creative process

In Sarzana, on the far eastern edge of Liguria, among the scents of lemons, oranges, citrons, and a collection of antique roses, stands the atelier-home of Maria Candida Gentile.

Around it, a garden-chaos — wild yet cared for — where nature grows freely and inspires every creation.
Here, in silence and breath, intuition becomes fragrance: each perfume is born from a gesture, an emotion, a suspended moment — in a place where nature speaks through scent.

Sales and exhibition space

A space for meeting, display, and storytelling

The Atelier Home is also a space for exhibition and direct sale of Maria Candida Gentile fragrances, imbued with an intimate and authentic spirituality.
The building, located among the hills of Monte d’Armolo, houses a small church dedicated to the Virgin Mary and its ancient sacristy, transformed into a showroom: a place suspended between art and contemplation, the first concept store entirely dedicated to the MCG Collection.

Here you can experience the complete olfactory journey: discover the 22 fragrances of the Collection, explore the scented candle line, liquid and solid soaps, and the Paracelso Alchemy beauty line, dedicated to skin well-being.

You will always be welcomed with a smile, a cup of tea or a hot coffee, and perhaps a homemade sweet — a simple gesture, yet full of the spirit of this place, where beauty is lived, breathed, and shared.
