Description

Still hand-formulated in Florence, this remarkably light and fresh scent combines the provocative citrus and bergamot with subtle white flowers and deeply exotic spices. Coveted by men and women alike, this unique aroma is both timeless and modern. This is the legendary cologne created for Catherine de Medici, who brought her personal perfume-maker with her when she went to France to marry Henry II. How the ‘Acqua della Regina’ (Water of the Queen) came to be commercialized as a cologne is a legend of various versions, but one thing is certain: Santa Maria Novella Cologne is one of history’s great fragrances.
