Santa Maria Novella Firenze 1221 Rosa Gardenia ~ new fragrance

Posted by Robin on 18 October 2021 10 Comments

Italian niche line Santa Maria Novella has introduced the Firenze 1221 Edition collection, celebrating the brand's 800 years of history (the monastery was established by Dominican friars in 1221). Firenze 1221 includes seven fragrances from the back catalog (Acqua della Regina aka Acqua di S.M. Novella aka Queen's Water, Angeli di Firenze, Fresia, Melograno, Pot Pourri, Rosa Novella and Tabacco Toscano) and one new scent: Rosa Gardenia.

Rosa Gardenia, a new story of endless grace.

A new creation, visionary and inspiring, which embodies the endless grace of wonderful flowers. Rosa Gardenia tells you a new story, inspired by 800 years of tradition, just waiting to become your story.

The queen of all flowers, the rose, and the softness and creaminess of the gardenia come together to form a single fragrance. The top notes amaze, the middle notes seduce, and the bottom notes envelop softly, completing a courtship, a conquering flowery dance.

Additional notes for the musky floral include bergamot, almond blossom, orange blossom, fig flower, jasmine, sandalwood, vanilla and musk.

Santa Maria Novella Rosa Gardenia is available in 50 ($90) and 100 ($135) ml Eau de Cologne.

    This sounds very pretty and appealing, and the price is good. I wonder where I can get small samples of this…

      Luckyscent carries SMN, but I don’t see this one among the lineup yet…

    I really like this brand. Especially the scented clay pomegranate. I have a few of their fragrances- Aqua di Colonia & Ylang Ylang.

      I like them too … and the prices are decent, at least for the fragrances. Some of the body products are crazy expensive.

        I know but I love that body powder that comes in that old fashioned round cardboard box with the pretty prints.

    Spotted, from this house–a bottle of one the Acqua de Colonias— I am pretty sure–on the vanity of the character Francis in Nine Perfect Strangers, played by Melissa McCarthy.
