Many centuries ago lived a tale of an apothecary art legacy that crosses eight centuries, tracing its roots back to Florence of 1221, Dominican friars founded the convent of Santa Maria Novella, and began to cultivate – among other things – a garden. From that same garden, many centuries of experience in pharmacopoeia and natural preparations began to develop––which has now expanded to include the worlds of cosmetics, fragrances, and wellness products.
Enter Santa Maria Novella and discover a world of wonders for you to luxuriate from head to toe, available exclusively at escentials.
