Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella Potpourri is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1828. Potpourri opens with Bergamot, Bitter Orange, and Bay Leaf, settles into a heart of Lavender, Clove, Rosemary, and Thyme, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Patchouli, and Peru Balsam. Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella's Potpourri carries a Statement verdict, an aromatic-led wear.

Potpourri is a challenging, divisive scent: you'll either love its intensely herbal and medicinal depth for its history and uniqueness, or find it unwearable, like old-school Vicks VapoRub. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

About

Potpourri opens with a bracing aromatic blast of bay leaf and citrus, quickly introducing a complex heart of lavender, clove, rosemary, and thyme. This herbal medley creates an invigorating - some would say medicinal - accord, before settling into a warm, woody base of cedar, patchouli, and Peru balsam. It's a journey from brisk herbal clarity to a comforting, spiced earthiness.
