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.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Santa Maria Novella Classica is listed with just a handful of notes: bergamot, citrus, lemon and white flowers. That points to a light, fresh scent where sparkling citrus does most of the work and the white flowers add a soft, gentle floral lift. With no base notes given, it is best thought of as a bright, clean and airy fragrance rather than a heavy or long-evolving one. It suits warm days and anyone who prefers a classic, uncomplicated freshness.
