The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2024 by Santa Maria Novella, Acqua is a fresh and joyful fragrance that evokes the vibrant energy of a Medici garden in spring. The composition opens with pear, creating an immediate sense of brightness and freshness, which leads into a heart of lotus and freesia, capturing the delicate beauty of blooming flowers. The base note of musk adds warmth and depth, enveloping the floral and aquatic elements in a subtle embrace. This fragrance is designed to evoke the crystalline water features found in Medicean Villas fountains, blending modern elegance with historical inspiration.
Apply Acqua to pulse points for a gentle, long-lasting effect. The pear top note is bright but fleeting, so layer it with the musk base for a more enduring experience. This fragrance works well in any season, making it ideal for both daytime and evening wear.
