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.
Tabacco Toscano takes us on a sensory journey. With its nuances of bergamot and Tuscan tobacco leaves, adopted by Catherine de Medici to relieve migraines, it evokes a delicate dream of bold aromas. Made in Florence from top-quality raw materials, the Tabacco Toscano candle embodies this refined, captivating olfactory experience. Oriental and woody notes begin with bergamot and tobacco leaf. Leather, amber and birch give it a mysterious aspect, while the woody, vanilla base makes it a smoky, velvety fragrance.
Our tip: for the first use, leave the candle lit until the wax is uniformly 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".
