Fresia

Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella Fresia is an Eau de Parfum. Fresia opens with Freesia, settles into a heart of Rose, Violet, and Green, and dries down to a base of Iris and Musk. Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella's Fresia carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This isn't your garden-variety freesia; expect an elegant, clean, and fiercely powdery floral. Some will swoon over its classic, soapy charm, while others will find it a bit too old-school or even air freshener-like. It's divisive, but never dull.

Its clean, inoffensive, and subtle sillage makes it perfect for office or casual wear where you want to smell fresh without being overtly perfumed. However, its classic, somewhat soapy character and subdued projection mean it won't stand out for dates or formal events where a bolder statement might be desired.

About

Opens with a delicate whisper of freesia, quickly enveloped by a rich, powdery floral heart of violet and rose, underpinned by green nuances. The dry down is a soft, clean embrace of iris and musk, creating an almost 'freshly bathed' aura. It's a scent that evokes the sophisticated, clean lines of classic perfumery, prioritising a refined, soapy cleanliness over a raw floral interpretation.
