Alba di Seoul
A floral and spicy tribute to the Korean peninsula
Alba di Seoul, or "Sunrise", is a timeless journey to Seoul. This cologne transports us through this mysterious Korean city: fresh morning bergamot mingles with the spicy cuisine of nutmeg. A little further on in a garden, the floral scent of violet, lavender and jasmine leaves charms our senses. As we leave the city and walk through the woods, patchouli and cedar wood reveal themselves. A calm and reassuring silence imposes itself, as if to better understand this mysterious and eternal orient.

Santa Maria Novella
Born in 1221, the Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella is considered the oldest pharmacy in the world. Founded by Dominican friars, its history began when they had access to Santa Maria Inter Vineas, a small church outside Florence. There they cultivated herbs and plants in its garden to make medicines, ointments and balms. In 1334, Santa Maria Novella became known for treating a wealthy merchant from one of the most powerful families in Florence. Today the house is known worldwide for its perfumes, candles and "traditional preparations".
