Marco Abaton
Marco Abaton is a niche perfumer from Savona, a picturesque coastal town in Italy’s Ligurian Riviera. Driven by a deep-rooted passion for chinotto—a uniquely bitter citrus fruit introduced to Savona centuries ago—he crafts signature olfactory experiences that celebrate his hometown’s heritage . As the founder and creative nose behind Abaton, he has created a trio of distinguished fragrances—Chinotto Gourmand, Chinotto Dark, and Fior di Chinotto—each one capturing different facets of the chinotto: from its bright rind and verdant leaves to its delicate petals . • Chinotto Gourmand delivers a joyful, warm embrace of ripe citrus, orange blossom, vanilla, and caramel. • Chinotto Dark evokes a bittersweet depth: citrus merging into a liqueur-like heart, grounded by absinthe, juniper, and smoky incense. • Fior di Chinotto blossoms into elegance—crafted from chinotto flowers to conjure a luminous, floral-citrus-oriental essence . Through these creations, Marco pays homage not only to the sensory richness of chinotto but also to Savona’s unique terroir, craftsmanship, and aromatic traditions
