Rosa Novella by Santa Maria Novella was launched in 2020, crafted by perfumer Fabrizio Morgenni. The fragrance opens with the bright zest of petitgrain and lemon, creating a fresh and invigorating start. At its heart, rose de mai is juxtaposed with gardenia and jasmine, adding layers of floral warmth without becoming overly sweet. The base notes of patchouli, cedar, sandalwood, and musk anchor the composition in earthy depth, providing a grounding contrast to the florals above.
