The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2015 by Santa Maria Novella and crafted by perfumer Fabrizio Morgenni, Acqua di Colonia Cinquanta is a harmonious blend of white florals, woody accords, and musk. The fragrance opens with the freshness of green tea and tiare flower before revealing a heart of gardenia and orange blossom that adds a touch of sweetness. As it settles, woody notes and cashmere wood create a warm, enveloping base, while white musk and amber lend an animalic depth that grounds the composition.
For best results, apply this fragrance to pulse points — it blooms slowly over time. The green tea top note is fleeting, so let it settle for about an hour before reapplying if you want a more pronounced base note presence.
