A rare microclimate
The botanical gardens of Lake Como's historic villas share a rare microclimate: constant humidity, diffused light and moderate temperature variation. Conditions unique in the world that foster an exceptional phytochemical development in the lake's flora, ideal for the well-being of skin and senses.
Officinal Larian herbs
The Larian Complex
From the century-old tradition of the Porro family, five herbs grown on the shores of Lake Como — thyme, sage, oregano, nettle and dandelion — are selected and used to support the health and comfort of the skin. An authentic botanical heritage, unique in the world, from the shores of Lake Como, transformed into an exclusive complex that defines the Essenza Lago di Como skincare line. A unique ingredient that cannot be replicated, because it belongs to this land and this story.

Botanical aromas
The scent of historic gardens
Inspired by the rare flowers and plants that define the lake's wonderful historic gardens — jasmine, orange blossom, orchid, verbena, white fig — the botanical aromas of Essenza Lago di Como accompany every ritual with a profound sensory dimension, contributing to a sense of balance, calm and vitality.
Modern aromatherapy confirms what the Porro family sensed as early as 1893: fragrance is not merely an aesthetic pleasure — it is emotional well-being, care for the mood, authentic presence.
