Very beautiful

If there were 10 stars to give, I would give them all to this oldest perfumery in the world. An amazingly beautiful experience. From the first to the last moment, you enjoy yourself in the rooms filled with an irreplaceable scent. Most of all because the staff does not give the impression that they want or need to sell you something, but rather that they want to share their enthusiasm for tradition, the art of creating fragrances, and their knowledge of nature. Exceptional in every way.

A wonderful experience, the perfumes smelled delicious, and if they're a gift, they even give it to you with a ribbon ♥️✨🙏

This is one of the best stores I’ve visited in Italy. If you love perfume, soaps and lotions this is the place you should visit! It’s quite literally the birthplace of perfume and hold so much history. The place in itself is beautiful, has frescos on the ceiling and it’s part of the Santa Maria Novella cloister. I was received with a complementary bergamot ice cream that was to die for. I purchased 2 perfumes one vainilla-scented and one of gardenia. I can’t stress how amazing the smell. They are not brand perfumes, you can’t find them anywhere else! Hence the prices are not for everyone. The ingredients seem very “natural/organic” nothing artificial about those scents. I also discovered the rose water toner for the skin. It’s now a staple of my skincare routine. This place is a must in your Firenze trip!
