SANTA MARIA NOVELLA

This original ancient apothecary was started by the Dominican monks in 1210 to dispense their healing and soothing remedies and lotions to the nobles and royalty across Europe, opened its doors to the public in 1612.

Since then Santa Maria Novella has become world renowned for its quality body and face care, perfumes (creating the original “Water of the Queen” for Catherine de Medici, later popularized under the name “Eau de Cologne”) and legendary products for the home (Including SMN Potpourri).  

Santa Maria Novella is privately owned and all products are still meticulously hand made (the original onsite distillation and manufacturing rooms have been converted into a museum) according to recipes that are centuries old.

All ingredients are local and organic and all products (including distillation of fragrances) are made onsite in the Florence workrooms as much as possible.
