Distribution of perfumes and cosmetics in Italy
The company's core business is the distribution of cosmetic and fragrance products in Italy: brands selected in France, the United States, South Korea, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates, with a wide, constantly updated stock of original and guaranteed products.

- Italy: distribution nationwide
Our approach
Distribution as a discipline
Every point of sale we supply is chosen against precise criteria: positioning, type of clientele and ability to move the product. That way the brand reaches the places where it can grow, and the store receives what it knows how to sell.
We select brands abroad and manage their arrival in Italy: import, customs and logistics & transport in Italy. Committed to expanding our network of partnerships, Time Gallery aims to bring more brands to Italy and strengthen their presence in Italian stores.

Omnichannel perfumeries
The leading perfumery chains, in store and on their e-commerce: official online presence, shared trade marketing in and out of the store, marketing and brand-awareness activity.
Marketplaces
Direct supply to online marketplaces: one official store instead of unauthorised sellers, with pricing rules that protect the brand and the retail network.
One distribution strategy: controlled prices, careful execution, national reach.
What sets our distribution apart
Four principles that frame every partnership we enter and every point of sale we supply.
- Pricing integrity
Consistent retail pricing
We enforce consistent recommended retail pricing across every channel, protecting brand equity and positioning.
- Channel discipline
Selective point of sale
A selective door strategy with strict onboarding criteria. We qualify each point of sale to ensure brand alignment before a single unit is placed.
- Sell-through
Performance accountability
We monitor performance at door level with regular sell-through reporting and proactive replenishment management to maximise brand velocity.
- From the world to Italy
