Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella Rosa Gardenia is a Cologne launched in 2021. Rosa Gardenia opens with Almond Blossom, Bergamot, and Orange Blossom, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Gardenia, Fig Leaf, and Grasse Rose Absolute, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella's Rosa Gardenia carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

Divisive yet captivating, this is a soft, powdery floral that some adore for its vintage charm and others dismiss as old-fashioned. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but certainly not boring.

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.

Office

With moderate longevity and sillage, this scent is versatile enough for most settings. Its soft, clean, and often intimate character makes it suitable for office and casual wear, while the romantic floral notes lend themselves well to dates. It's too delicate for vigorous sport and its vintage feel might clash with some modern formal events.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

About

Rosa Gardenia opens with a bright, delicate whisper of almond blossom and bergamot, quickly ushering in a lush floral heart. Expect a creamy gardenia and a romantic Grasse rose, beautifully balanced by a hint of green fig leaf. It eventually settles into a clean, musky base with a gentle warmth from sandalwood and vanilla, evoking a sophisticated, powdery finish.
