Description
Acqua della Regina by Santa Maria Novella is built around fresh citrus notes and pays tribute to Caterina de’ Medici’s love for the king of France. Acqua della Regina (the queen’s water) is the house’s oldest fragrance, also known as Acqua di S.M. Novella. Caterina de’ Medici had it made by the Dominican friars in 1533 and took it with her to France when she married Enrico di Valois. For this reason, the scent is thought of as a perfume rather than an eau de cologne. It is a bouquet of fresh citrus notes built on Calabrian bergamot. The mould for the bottle recalls the glass bottles Officina has used over the past two centuries of its history, and is used for all the other Santa Maria Novella colognes made since.
