The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2014 by Santa Maria Novella, Cala Rossa is a fragrance that captures the essence of an aromatic coastal landscape. Perfumer Fabrizio Morgenni crafted this composition around an interplay between fresh spicy and green notes, creating a sense of place that feels both invigorating and grounding. The opening hints at lavender and camphor, bringing a herbal freshness to the forefront before settling into woody and amber accords that evoke the warmth of sun-warmed cliffs.
Apply this fragrance in light layers — it has a strong opening that fades into a comforting woody base. It's best for daytime wear as the green and herbal notes can feel too fresh for evening. The amber undertones will bloom within an hour, making it perfect for early afternoon outings.
