Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella Ginestra (Broom) is a Cologne launched in 2001. Ginestra (Broom) opens with Dyer's-Broom, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Violet, Orchid, and Narcissus, and dries down to a base of Resins, Birch, and Oakmoss. Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella's Ginestra (Broom) carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

This one's a proper slow burner, taking you from bracing green freshness to a cosy mossy dry-down. It's a bit of a niche darling, adored for its unique, almost 'medicinal' green opening that mellows into something truly special.

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

Ginestra opens with a distinctive, slightly tart, and unapologetically green broom note that some find almost medicinal before it swiftly settles into a beautifully blended floral heart. Orange blossom and violet weave through, softened by the delicate touch of orchid and narcissus, giving it a subtle sweetness. The base grounds the entire experience with earthy oakmoss, warm resins, and a hint of birch, evoking a tranquil, woodland walk after a spring rain.
