Launched in 2021, Rosa Gardenia by Santa Maria Novella is a Floral fragrance for women and men created by perfumer Fabrizio Morgenni. The composition opens with the fresh zest of bergamot and the delicate green notes of fig leaf, before diving into a heart of rose de mai, gardenia, and jasmine that reads as an enveloping floral bouquet. This is further anchored by base notes of vanilla, sandalwood, and musk, which add warmth and depth. The fragrance captures the essence of spring's lush florals, balancing freshness with sweetness.

Application Tips
One or two sprays are enough to capture the essence of Rosa Gardenia. The top notes fade within an hour but give way to a rich floral heart that lasts throughout the day. This fragrance reads best close to skin, so apply directly where you want it to linger.
