The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 1828 by Santa Maria Novella, Frangipane is an Oriental Floral fragrance created by Brother Antonino Leoni. The composition opens with the fresh spiciness of thyme and nutmeg, leading into a heart of frangipani, tuberose, and rose, before settling into a base of orris root, Peru balsam, sandalwood, and amber. This fragrance is a harmonious blend of floral brightness and warm, powdery undertones that evoke the essence of an Italian garden.
Frangipane's top notes fade quickly, so apply it in layers for sustained richness. The base notes develop slowly but last throughout the day, making a single application sufficient.
