The story behind the bottle.
Fieno (Hay), created by Cesare Augusto Stefani in 1886 for Santa Maria Novella, is a fragrance that encapsulates the essence of an Italian countryside. The composition opens with bright citruses and bergamot, which soon give way to the heart notes of lavender, rose, jasmine, and hawthorn. These florals are intertwined with the warm, earthy aroma of hay, coumarin, and myrtle, creating a rich blend that is both fresh and spicy. The base notes of benzoin, vanilla, vetiver, and sandalwood provide a comforting warmth, grounding the scent in a nostalgic embrace.
Apply Fieno (Hay) lightly to your pulse points in the morning; its complex layers unfold gradually over time, making it perfect for a day that transitions into an evening. The fragrance’s earthy base notes will linger well into night without overpowering.
