description
Santa Maria Novella returns to the source with this new collection of "Firenze 1221" candles. The box, delightfully inspired by the frescoes in the San Niccolo chapel, the brand's emblematic shop/museum, proudly bears the Medici family seal on its lid, while the label reproduces the original design of the original apotic products. Melograno, the botanical name for the pomegranate, has strong symbolism: the fruit appears in the Song of Songs, the Odyssey and in ancient folklore. It captures the essence of abundance and discovery. A warm fragrance of bitter orange and fresh spices blended with bergamot takes us on a journey to Persia, where pomegranate, rose and ylang-ylang are already making us dizzy. The woody finish awakens our senses and brings this enchanted journey to a graceful close... Our tip: for the first use, leave the candle lit until the wax is evenly liquid on the surface. Extinguish with a lid, trim evenly to 3-5 mm and center the wick. Avoid placing a burning candle in direct contact with a surface, and don't let it burn for more than 3 hours at a time. The candle's burn time is approximately 50 hours.

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".
