Our story · Est. 2020
Scent, memory, and the unknown.
Casa dell’Unknown is an independent fragrance house shaped by Italian memory and made by hand in Chicago.
A house built from memory.
Inspired by my Italian grandparents, who immigrated to the United States in the 1950s, Casa dell’Unknown was established to fill people’s homes with joy. In the spirit of Italian artistry, each fragrance is designed to provoke emotion, creativity, and curiosity.
The name—House of Unknown—comes from the year we began. Founded in 2020, the brand grew from a moment defined by uncertainty and the decision to keep creating anyway.
Words we live by
La vita è questa: niente è facile, e nulla è impossibile.
Life is this: nothing is easy, and nothing is impossible.
Made slowly. Made to stay with you.
Our fragrances are developed in-house and our products are hand-crafted with care by founder Dominic Ferraro. Italian inspiration, reusable vessels, and considered materials meet a distinctly modern point of view.
Every scent begins with a place, a person, or a feeling, and becomes an invitation to make that memory your own.
