Ambra - Eau de Parfum
Ambra Eau de Parfum unfolds like a winter garden within the Medici courts of Florence - warm, resinous, and quietly majestic. Inspired by the meeting of citrus brightness and deep oriental resins, the fragrance reflects a dialogue between Florentine heritage and distant lands once connected through trade and discovery.
A lively spark of bergamot opens the composition, bringing clarity and light to the richness that follows. At its heart, amber and myrrh create a resinous warmth that feels enveloping and refined. The base deepens with patchouli and sandalwood, adding smooth woodiness and lasting depth that lingers with elegant intensity.
Rich yet balanced, Ambra is a fragrance of warmth and presence—an evocative composition that blends citrus luminosity with the timeless allure of resins and woods.

ABOUT SANTA MARIA NOVELLA
Established in 1221 in Florence, the Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella originates from the Dominican friars who founded the Santa Maria Novella convent and cultivated a remarkable garden.
This marked the beginning of their expertise in pharmacopoeia and natural preparations. Over time, this knowledge expanded to encompass cosmetics, fragrances, and wellness products, making Santa Maria Novella a renowned name in these realms.
In 1533, a young Catherine de Medici embarked on her journey to marry the future king of France, accompanied by a retinue that included a perfumer named Renato Bianco. Renato, later known as René le Florentin, brought the ancient wisdom of Florence's essence-makers to Paris, spreading the noble art of perfume throughout the world. Acqua di Santa Maria Novella, also known as Acqua della Regina or the "Queen's Water," is the oldest fragrance from the Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella, paying homage to the love-filled gift that Caterina bestowed upon France.
