Santa Maria Novella L`Iris Eau de Parfum

This fragrance is a journey through time and space. Paying homage to the flower that has been a symbol of Florence since 1266, Santa Maria Novella has crafted its first scent by Gianluca Perris. Iris, one of the most valuable raw materials in perfumery, is extracted from rhizomes that must mature for six years. Iris is also the goddess who traveled on the rainbow to convey messages from the gods to mortals. This scent is a radiant bouquet where galbanum and neroli unveil the delicacy of the great city, while Timur pepper hints at its mysteries. As we wander through the narrow streets rich with history, geranium, magnolia, and jasmine gracefully unfold, mirroring the city in all its complexity. Ultimately, Iris emerges with precision, where the perfumery's expertise elegantly blends it with musk and amber. Iris narrates a new story of Florence, bridging past and present, nature, craftsmanship, and myth.
