The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Muschio Oro by Santa Maria Novella is an exotic musky fragrance infused with citruses and spicy tones, creating a complex interplay of sweetness and warmth. The top notes of white flowers are immediately arresting, leading to a heart that balances the freshness of lily of the valley, iris, neroli, and ylang-ylang. The base notes of musk, tonka bean, cedarwood, and vanilla provide a rich, enveloping finish.

How to wear it

Apply Muschio Oro lightly to pulse points; the base notes of musk and tonka bean will slowly unfold over time. This fragrance is best suited for evening wear when its warm, enveloping qualities can be fully appreciated.
