The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2024 by Santa Maria Novella, Lavanda Ambrata is an Oriental fragrance created by Brother Damiano Beni. It opens with the fresh and aromatic notes of lavender, which contrasts beautifully against a warm amber base. The composition also features hints of spicy and herbal accords that add depth and complexity, creating a rich blend of scent. This unisex fragrance embodies the brand's commitment to blending traditional craftsmanship with modern elegance.

How to wear it

Apply one or two sprays to your pulse points. The aromatic top notes are bright but fleeting, so let it settle for a few minutes before heading out. This fragrance blooms best in cooler settings, making it ideal for evening wear.

Brother Damiano Beni

Fra' Damiano Beni directed the historic Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella in the 19th century, undertaking major expansion beginning in 1847, converting the medieval Acciaioli chapel into the grand Neo-Gothic Sala dei Principi for Grand Tour visitors, and steering the pharmacy toward cosmetics and fine fragrance as modern medicine eroded demand for herbal remedies.
