Santa Maria Novella L`Iris Eau de Parfum

This journey transcends time and space. Paying homage to the flower that has been a symbol of Florence since 1266, Santa Maria Novella presents its first fragrance by Gianluca Perris. Iris stands as one of the most valued raw materials in perfumery: iris oil is extracted from rhizomes that must age for six years. Iris is also the goddess who traveled on the rainbow to relay messages from the gods to mortals. This fragrance is a luminous bouquet where galbanum and neroli unveil the delicacy of the great city, while Timur pepper hints at its mystique. As we wander through the narrow streets rich in history, geranium, magnolia, and jasmine gracefully unfold, capturing the city in all its complexity. Finally, iris emerges in a perfectly refined technique, where the perfumery's savoir-faire elegantly blends it with musk and ambergris. Iris narrates a new story of Florence, bridging the past and present, nature, craftsmanship, and myth.
