Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella Fieno (Hay) is a Cologne launched in 1886. Fieno (Hay) opens with Citrus and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Hawthorn, Myrtle, Rose, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Vetiver, Vanilla, and Benzoin. Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella's Fieno (Hay) carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Divisive yet intriguing, Fieno is either a comforting, sun-drenched hayfield or an "urinated hay" nightmare. A love-it-or-hate-it scent for those chasing a unique, old-world vibe.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Opens with a bright, gentle whisper of bergamot and citrus, quickly ushering in a pastoral heart. Here, a prominent, clean hay note intertwines with delicate florals of rose, jasmine, and an aromatic lavender. A touch of hawthorn adds a subtle green edge. The drydown settles into a soft, powdery embrace of coumarin, vanilla, and benzoin, grounded by the earthy warmth of vetiver and sandalwood, evoking a serene, bucolic scene.
