Freesia - Acqua di Colonia

Fresia is a delicate celebration of one of spring’s most graceful blooms. Light, luminous, and gently powdery, this classic cologne captures the airy elegance of freesia petals unfolding in fresh morning light.

The fragrance opens with the bright, breezy freshness of freesia, immediately conveying a sense of clarity and softness. At its heart, violet and centifolia rose add a tender floral nuance, lending refinement and quiet romance. The composition settles into a smooth base of iris and musk, creating a subtle powdery trail that feels both comforting and elegant.

Fresh yet sophisticated, Fresia evokes the purity and charm of blossoming flowers—an understated fragrance that lingers like the memory of spring air.

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.
