Marescialla by Santa Maria Novella was launched in 1828 and has been crafted with the expertise of Brother Antonino Leoni, blending a woody chypre scent that is both earthy and warm. The composition opens with bright citruses and mace, which give way to a heart of rose and Virginia cedar, before settling into a rich base of oak moss, patchouli, and sandalwood. This fragrance embodies the brand’s commitment to sophisticated elegance, offering a balance between fresh vibrancy and deep earthy warmth.
