The story behind the bottle.
Eva by Santa Maria Novella was launched in 2002 as a sophisticated yet approachable fragrance that embodies the brand's dedication to quality and elegance. The composition opens with bright citrus notes of bergamot and lemon, which create an invigorating start. As these top notes fade, warm spicy and woody accords emerge, with vetiver grounding the scent in earthy complexity. This balance between freshness and warmth makes Eva a versatile choice for both day and night.
One or two sprays are sufficient to capture the essence of Eva. The citrus notes are bright but short-lived, making way for the earthy and woody base that lasts throughout the day. This fragrance is best suited for daytime wear, where its fresh character shines.
