Team building olfattivo a Milano: un laboratorio di profumeria botanica per Kraft Heinz

Un’esperienza sensoriale e creativa per il team

Nell’ottobre 2025 ho condotto un laboratorio di profumeria botanica per il team di Kraft Heinz, presso la sede aziendale di Piazzale Lodi, a Milano.

L’incontro ha portato le materie aromatiche naturali all’interno della giornata lavorativa, offrendo ai partecipanti uno spazio dedicato all’esplorazione sensoriale, alla creatività e alla condivisione.

La proposta nasceva dall’incontro tra profumeria botanica e lavoro di gruppo: un’esperienza pratica nella quale ciascuno poteva esprimere le proprie preferenze olfattive e trasformarle in una composizione personale.

Esplorare le essenze, creare un profumo

Il laboratorio si è sviluppato attraverso la conoscenza e la scelta degli oli essenziali, l’ascolto delle diverse impressioni sensoriali e la composizione di un profumo individuale.

Ogni partecipante ha avuto l’opportunità di avvicinarsi alle materie aromatiche secondo la propria sensibilità, sperimentando accostamenti e accordi personali.

Il profumo è diventato così un linguaggio creativo, capace di lasciare spazio sia all’espressione individuale sia allo scambio tra colleghi.

La profumeria botanica negli eventi aziendali

Un laboratorio olfattivo propone una modalità di incontro diversa dalle abituali attività professionali.

La concentrazione richiesta dall’esplorazione degli aromi, la libertà delle scelte personali e il piacere di realizzare qualcosa con le proprie mani possono offrire al gruppo un’occasione di partecipazione condivisa.

L’esperienza realizzata per Kraft Heinz rappresenta un esempio di come la profumeria botanica possa entrare in un contesto aziendale attraverso un’attività concreta, accessibile e creativa.

Oggi progetto laboratori olfattivi e workshop di profumeria botanica su misura per aziende, gruppi privati ed eventi, adattando contenuti e modalità di svolgimento alle caratteristiche dell’occasione.

Botanical Perfumery Team Building in Milan: A Workshop for Kraft Heinz

Corporate events archive — Milan, October 2025

A Creative and Sensory Experience for the Team

In October 2025, I led a botanical perfumery workshop for the Kraft Heinz team at the company’s Piazzale Lodi premises in Milan, Italy.

The workshop brought natural aromatic materials into the workplace, offering participants an opportunity to explore fragrance, creativity and shared sensory experiences.

The event combined botanical perfumery with a hands-on group activity, allowing each participant to discover personal scent preferences and translate them into an individual fragrance composition.

Exploring Essential Oils and Creating a Personal Fragrance

During the workshop, participants explored a selection of essential oils, paid attention to their sensory impressions and experimented with different aromatic combinations.

Each person was invited to approach the materials according to their own preferences, discovering how individual choices could shape a personal fragrance.

Perfume became a creative language, offering space for both individual expression and informal exchange among colleagues.

Botanical Perfumery for Corporate Events

An olfactory workshop offers a different way of spending time together outside everyday professional routines.

Exploring scents requires attention, curiosity and personal choice. Creating a fragrance also introduces a hands-on dimension that participants can experience and share.

The workshop held for Kraft Heinz illustrates how botanical perfumery can become an accessible, practical and creative activity within a corporate setting.

Today, I design bespoke botanical perfumery workshops and olfactory experiences for companies, private groups and special events, adapting each experience to its participants and setting.

Black Pepper, from Ancient Trade Routes to Aromatic Experience

Small, round and unmistakably pungent, black pepper is one of the world’s most familiar spices. Yet behind this everyday ingredient lies a remarkable history of trade, cultural exchange and aromatic knowledge.

Black pepper comes from Piper nigrum, a climbing plant native to the tropical regions of India, particularly the Malabar Coast. Its fruits, harvested and dried, become the dark, wrinkled peppercorns that have travelled across continents for centuries.

A Spice That Connected Worlds

Long before black pepper became a common ingredient in European kitchens, it was a valuable commodity moving along the maritime and overland trade routes connecting India, the Middle East and the Mediterranean.

Its small size, distinctive flavour and commercial value made it particularly suitable for long-distance trade.

In ancient Rome, pepper was already highly appreciated. It appeared in culinary preparations and medicinal traditions, and its presence reflected the extensive commercial networks linking the Roman world with India.

The Aromatic Character of Black Pepper

Black pepper essential oil is obtained through the steam distillation of the peppercorns.

Its aroma differs from the sharp sensation produced by freshly ground pepper in food. The essential oil reveals a warmer, more rounded composition, with spicy, woody and subtly fresh notes.

Among its characteristic constituents are monoterpenes such as alpha-pinene, beta-pinene and limonene, alongside sesquiterpenes including beta-caryophyllene. Their proportions vary according to the origin of the plant and the composition of the oil.

Black Pepper in Aromatherapy and Sensory Experience

Black pepper has a long history of traditional uses, including preparations associated with digestion and physical comfort.

In contemporary aromatherapy, its essential oil is often appreciated for its warming aromatic character and its stimulating sensory qualities. These associations belong to traditional and experiential practices and should not be confused with established medical treatments.

From an olfactory perspective, black pepper offers a particularly interesting experience.

A Small Material with a Vast Geography

There is something fascinating about black pepper: an ordinary spice that carries within it the history of entire trade networks.

From the tropical landscapes of India to the markets of ancient Rome, from botanical illustrations to contemporary perfumery, Piper nigrum invites us to look beyond the familiar.

Its story reminds us that aromatic materials are never merely ingredients. They are also traces of landscapes, human knowledge and cultural encounters.

And sometimes, a single peppercorn is enough to begin a journey.
