Zagara | Orange Blossom - Acqua di Colonia

Zagara is a radiant homage to the orange blossom, capturing the luminous beauty of citrus trees in full bloom. Fresh, elegant, and unmistakably Mediterranean, the fragrance evokes the scent of sunlit groves where delicate white blossoms perfume the air.

A sparkling citrus opening leads into the soft sweetness of orange blossom, revealing its luminous floral character and gentle warmth. The composition feels bright yet refined, balancing freshness with a subtle floral richness that lingers gracefully on the skin.

Long associated with purity and celebration, orange blossom has been cherished for centuries and remains a timeless symbol of elegance. Zagara expresses this heritage in a fragrance that feels both joyful and sophisticated - like spring unfolding along the Sicilian coast.

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.
