Description

Caprifoglio perfume from Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella is a floral solinote that is both sweet and fresh. The common name caprifolium comes from Latin and it is composed of two words: capra and folium (goat and leaf) Probably this diction comes from the fact that goats like to graze on the leaves of some species of this genus. In the symbolism of flowers, it means "soft character", and, for its tendency to wrap itself around what is in its path, it is also considered the symbol of love bonds: as the legend of Tristan and Isolde attests "just like the honeysuckle that entwines itself with a branch of cuckoo tree [...], but when you try to separate them, they die immediately. "So it is with us, friend, neither you without me, nor I without you. 

Santa Maria Novella packaging has been modified by the brand. We still have the old packaging, and new ones are arriving as they replace current stock. If you order online, you may receive one or the other packaging. However, the composition and scent of the Cologne or Parfum remain unchanged.

The story

Still housed in beautifully frescoed rooms in the centre of Florence, the Santa Maria Novella shop has not changed much; the windows and counter have not changed since 1612.

Today the retro-looking apothecary formulas of cologne, talcum powder, ointments and soaps have lost none of their charm. Santa Maria Novella continues to use raw materials of the highest quality and still following the artisanal procedures that belonged to the Dominican friars, but using ultra-modern technology and machinery.

All the cosmetic products of Officina Profumo- Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella are made from selected raw materials. Each batch, before being packaged, is subjected to the quality control of the internal analysis laboratories that guarantee its conformity in terms of quality.
