Fresia by Santa Maria Novella is a clean and feminine scent that captures the essence of freesia flowers. The top note of freesia sets an immediate impression of freshness, supported by the soft floral notes of violet and rose de mai in the heart. What makes Fresia particularly intriguing is its unexpected inclusion of Western skunk cabbage, which adds a subtle earthiness. This unusual element contrasts beautifully with the musky base notes of iris, creating a fragrance that is both delicate and complex.

Application Tips
Apply Fresia sparingly; its musky base develops slowly and lingers throughout the day. It is best for daytime wear when the crisp top notes balance well against the warmth of the base.
