Santa Maria Novella Rosa Gardenia 1221 Edition 100ml

In 2021 the Officina released a new fragrance into a house whose oldest was composed in 1533. Rosa Gardenia is the only new composition in the Firenze 1221 Edition.

The rose is centifolia, which the house notes has been grown and documented in European perfumery since the seventeenth century. Gardenia brings a soft, creamy character to it. Bergamot, almond blossom and orange blossom at the top. Gardenia, centifolia rose, fig leaf and jasmine in the heart. Sandalwood, vanilla and musk at the base. Floral and musky, in the house's own classification.

There is no spice cutting it and no resin underneath, which is what separates it from the Rosa Novella eau de cologne we also carry. It is the one to choose if the older scents feel austere. An eau de cologne sits close and rarely sees out a long day. With this one the second application, somewhere in the afternoon, is part of wearing it.
