The scent of Vaniglia from Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella is based on one note: warm, sweet, oriental vanilla. Vanilla is a plant from the orchid family, originating from Central America. Its scent relaxes, helps to relieve tension, and improves mood. In ancient times, it was considered an aphrodisiac. The Aztecs drank a beverage made of cocoa and vanilla in large quantities - it was a precursor to today's hot chocolate. Legend has it that Montezuma offered Hernán Cortés a fragrant drink with an extraordinary taste: it was a chocolate drink flavored with vanilla. Cortés brought cocoa to Spain in 1500 and from there it spread throughout Europe.
Fragrance notes: vanilla, spices, cocoa.

About the brand Santa Maria Novella
Florence is home to one of the oldest pharmacies in the world - Officina Profumo Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella, which dates back to the 13th century. Famous scents and skincare products have been created for centuries from a blend of flowers and herbs collected from the hills of Tuscany, maturing in old terracotta jars. Among the compositions still produced today according to Dominican formulas are Acqua di Colonia (Catherine de' Medici's favorite scent), created in the 17th century Acqua di Santa Maria Novella, and Acqua di Rose - an excellent refreshing tonic, sold since the second half of the 14th century, as well as hand-shaped and packaged soaps, which mature for 60 days in ventilated cabinets.
All products are made exclusively in Florence, based on medicinal plants and herbs grown in the same way as in the Middle Ages.
