SELECTIVA SPA

Selectiva Spa was founded in 2001 and is owned by the Paglieri Group, a prestigious Italian entrepreneurial company that has been a leader in personal and home care for over 130 years. The success of Selectiva was immediate: within a few years, the company acquired the market leadership in the gourmet segment for the home care, hydration and body perfume categories, and boasts a highly selective distribution in the perfume channel both in Italy and abroad. Selectiva Spa exports to over 50 countries and, for some years, has been at the forefront of the niche perfume segment with a high-quality project: the Paglieri 1876 line.
