Such a classy historical place! Thank you, Sebastian, for reminding of it!👑😊

I went to the complex in 1997. I’d never seen anything like it. I love the story behind it. I bought a bottle of Melagrano, a clear bottle with green writing. It became my winter signature and the scent remained in scarves for years. Classic? Yes! I love it! Thanks for the link from Illinois. I did not know you visited; I can’t wait to watch the video!

Being from Italy, this house is very dear to me. Their products are excellent and I love visiting the old pharmacy when I visit Florence. Great video. I will go catch the tour video next.

Melograno sounds best to me, the pomegranate makes it fresh and love the oakmoss note. Overall, the complex notes seem very harmonious and balanced. Thanks for the clear reviews with your personal story, would definitely visit the store if I ever go to Florence. I recently got into Santa Maria Novella brand, I love that they make natural scents that can be worn very easily at the same time being elegant. I watched a lot of your videos in the past when I was researching on fragrances and it was very helpful, thanks for your passion and knowledgeable insights! My state is New York.

Hi, thank you for the video! I started becoming interested in this house two years ago, so I went to visit the store in NY (I live in NJ). I absolutely loved Angels of Florence because of its elegant floral scent and amazing musky yet sweet dry-down; this fragrance reminded me of sitting on a bench and smelling flowers and dust mixed with petrichor after a full day of rain.

I love their patchouli! I love this house. That vetiver rose sounds dreamy!

Thanks for the Intro to this house, Sebastian. I'd definitely like to try Tobacco Toscano because I'm a big fan of that note. I like how you broke down your top 5 in detail. Thanks for the opportunity.

Tobacco is one of my favorite notes so Tobacco Toscano sounds perfect. I had just watched a video from another KZreadr about this house that piqued my interest and then you posted this video plus a link to your tour video, perfect timing. Thanks for the chance at a bottle. I'm in Florida, USA

Loved that you're talking about this house. I remember your video tour of of the store. It's so underrated here in the States! I really like SMN's Città di Kyoto and Melograno.

Tabacco Toscano is my favorite because it is yours. I like the uncluttered background of your videos. I'm in Virginia, USA. Thank you.

I didn't have the opportunity to explore this beautiful house yet but heavily interested in due to my gravitation towards Chanel-like, fresh/classic profiles~ I appreciate that your reviews are always through in explaining the scent profiles of the fragrances. Thank you for your insight! :) -showing love from Cali!

I love Santa Maria Novella. I am very happy to see you discuss their fragrances. I have Vetiver, Melograno, Russa, Tobacco Toscano, Sandalo. There aftershaves are also really nice. I would love to try the Patchouli. When I was in the SMN shop in NYC a year and half ago I didn't get the chance to purchase it. l was intrigued by the scent density, despite being an EDC. Great video. I am in New York.

Hi from Michigan! Have been wanting to order the SM patchouli for my husband ever since I heard Leslie Jordan adores it. Would make a fantastic Father's day gift. Thanks for the informative video.

Melograno! I owned it years ago when I first started exploring niche perfume. The dry powdery note meant to evoke the skin of a pomegranate juxtaposed against the tart-juicy note that represents the seeds. It isn't sweet, like so many fruity florals today. Loved that you mentioned the SMN fragrances having a classic vibe -- they definitely do, in the best way. There's a certain enveloping-yet-weightless quality that SMN fragrances possess even when one would expect the notes to be "heavy." Greetings from Florida and thanks for the trip down SMN Lane!

Great video of a great ancient house. Their products are some of the best ever. I use plenty and love Melograno as my favorite. I must check your number one though.

I am a big lover of Santa Maria Novella! Thank you for this!

Fabulous video, Sebastian! I always love it when you talk about scent memory and what some fragrances conjure for you. I’m curious about a few of them, particularly the patchouli and the tobacco fragrances, but if pressed, I’d go for the pomegranate/melograno. Pomegranate is good luck! I’m in NY. Thank you for all you do, Sebastian; I’m sure it’s not easy coming out with videos at this rapid a clip.

Thanks for reviewing SMN colognes. I love buying their bags of potpourri for my home and I would love to try a cologne. My love of these earthy scents come from growing up in NM. The old Catholic churches, the land, the plants, the adobe homes, and the food. I live in AZ now and the earthy scents may be a little different but still represent home.

I've been to the Florence location and was MESMERIZED. It was absolutely beautiful. I purchased the vanilla fragrance, and your review here is spot on. It's not a BAD fragrance, just not my favorite vanilla fragrance. I'd like to try more of their fragrances, though.

I had no idea about the history of the Santa Maria Novella house, how intriguing! Thank you for including some of those notes in your review, I’ll have to go check out the tour video. I am brand new to the perfume world but I lean towards green, fresh, woody scents. I think Id enjoy a woody scent and for that reason I’m interested in Tobacco Tuscano, although it seems it leans spicier. Thank you from North Carolina!!

I absolutely adore this house 😍 My favourite frags are Muschio oro (a musky and a little spicy and ambery scent) and Fresia (soapy, musky e very long lasting!!!). Now I want to try Iris!!! ❤️

Thanks for another great video, I love how you interweave travel stories into your descriptions of the fragrances. My favorite based on your descriptions is tobacco Toscano because it sounds modern with gourmand touches, I am in California

I’ve never gotten the opportunity to try anything from this house but these sound so compelling. I’m in South Carolina and our options are limited for accessing collectors fragrances! I am intrigued by the Vetiver because the way you describe it as being light and floral-and I’m on the hunt for a great Vetiver fragrance! And of course, being from the Southeast, the Tobacco Tuscano scent sounds absolutely radiant and I love a great gourmand! Great review Sebastian.

I really love this perfume house. The first bottle I purchased was their Eau de Cologne, then I visited their small shop in London and purchased Patchouli. Would love to visit their pharmacy. I really enjoyed your video of your tour of the pharmacy. They have so many fragrances - I love Vetiver as well. Great video.

Great video and I enjoyed it and I like the you describe each fragrance and Tabacco Toscano sounds the best to me and my state is Louisiana and have a blessed day

Great review Sebastian!! I have never head of this house, but all of the fragrances sound elegant. I am a big fan of vetiver and this scent would be a great addition to my fragrance collection. Tanks for always reviewing reviewing specialty houses. I live in the state of Michigan

Tobacco is one of my favorite notes, so I believe Tobacco Toscano will be a perfect match for me , smooth and classy. Thanks for the draw 😀 Richmond Virginia

Adore this house. Melograno is a lifelong friend and I love Toscana. I also like their iris , delicious and fresh. I know there’s more to discover so this video is so interesting to me. Thank you.

Well...I have never tried this house but Melograno , as a chrype lover , sounds beautiful . I am in Maine . But I really want to thank you for recommending ZGO . I made my first purchase from them 2 weeks ago and was amazed by there beautiful packaging and there absolutely wonderful customer service . Really a pleasure ! Sincerely , Ruth Goldsmith

I enjoyed hearing about this house and hearing you share your favorites with us. I tend to like sweet tobacco scents, so Tabacco Toscano would be my favorite of the ones you mentioned. I live in Maryland USA.

That bottle design & frosted look is real nice it reminds me of something I just dont remember what

I LOVE lilac and have always looked for Lilac fragrances - but they seem to be very rare. My mothers favorite note is Lily of the Valley and fragrances featuring this note are also rather scarce too. Maybe you can do videos on fragrances that feature unique floral notes.

Just received my Tobacco Toscano and Melograno today. Will try them both this weekend! Thank you for the detailed and informative reviews. 👍

Enjoy!

Tobacco Toscano is amazing! I'm very interested in seeing how the Melangrano wears. I'm lucky to be able to find the fragrances at one boutique here in Seattle.

That Tobacco Toscano sounds like an interesting scent profile! Tobacco + a creamy sandalwood and malt...Great review for a house I don't hear too much about. Always enjoy your detailed descriptions. ~Alfredo, Clifton, NJ.

I love Tobacco Toscano. I wear it as my signature scent when I don't want an overpowering scent. Mostly around my work colleagues. I even get some nice compliments from my coworkers too. It's a perfect cozy scent. I'll check out the Melograno next. I don't mind classic.

Visited SMN in Florence last year and tried several eau de cologne. In the end, I bought Tabacco Toscano for myself and Vaniglia for my daughter. We also liked Acqua della Regina and Alba di Seoul very much. I am looking forward to try Patchouli on the next visit.

I’ve had Tobacco Toscana on my “to try” list for SOOO long. Always saw that on websites that you had to call, and didn’t bother since I was just going to inquire about a sample. I’d love to be lucky enough to get this one! I’m in Oregon. Thanks!

I've never smelled any of the Santa Maria Novella fragrances but I did see your tour video and thought it was fun to go on a field trip with you! :) I think I would like to try Melegrano most. I just think it sounds different than anything I own and it sounds a little classic and I like classic. Thanks for the review.

Thank you and ZGO! I have been to Florence decades ago. Will definitely view your Santa Maria Novella Pharmacy video. I am in the market for unisex patchouli fragrances. When I hear rose, I am brought back to my childhood with Rosemilk lotion!! I liked this review because of the tidbits of knowledge you always include. And hearing about your childhood memories is😘. I live in Pennsylvania. Thank you!

"Melograno" sounds like the best one to me for different reasons, e.g. I can like classical-leaning fragrances, the combination of notes in it seem good to me, I may have smelled something like that when I was much younger, and I'm interested in the pomegranate aspect of it. I appreciate learning about this fragrance house and I plan to watch the video of your tour of their place. I live in MD., U.S.A.

I have never tried anything from this fragrance house. The Tabacco Toscano sounds amazing! Love your reviews here in Texas ❤️

As soon as you described Tobacco Toscano, i knew it would be your favorite one. How you called it "slightly gourmandish tobacco with vanilla touches" is what drew me in. Cheers from VA

I was curious about this line. Thanks for another highly informational house review. I am intrigued by your description of the Parchouli. I know you are an expert on this subject. Plus, the juice looks gorgeous in the bottle. Would love to win this for my wife. Peace from NY.

Here in Texas, I'm wondering how tea with vanilla and orange smell like. Simply love everything that you upload, especially about houses I don't know. Much appreciate 🙏

I've only heard of this house once before, so I've never sampled any of their offerings. I thought that you laid these fragrances out in a very detailed and appealing fashion. If I win, I would like to receive that Santa Maria Novella Vetiver fragrance, as Rose and Vetiver are 2 of my favorite notes in perfumery, and it'll be interesting to see how they work together. Bryant from Waldorf, Maryland, USA.

I love leafy tobacco frag and therefore tobacco Toscano is my fav . Thx for the opportunity !!

I have Melograno and often buy the hand soap from the London store. The soap is lovely, very nostalgic smell.

Obsessed with santa maria novella. I love vaniglia and patchouli.

GREAT VIDEO ! I've been so curious about this brand.

Enjoyed this video. Would love to explore more from this house. I would love to own and try Vetiver. The combo with rose and the clsssical touches are enticing. Im in California. Thanks

Great review. I own the patchouli after blind bought last year. It is wonderful. Something comforting about the dry down. Lucky Scent has these as well. I have to try the tobacco now. Calif.

I wear Tabacco Toscano and enjoy it. But mostly when it's warm out it's light but I like it's lightness, it smells perfectly smooth on me. I don't know the others but will check the Vetiver soon.

I love all of their products, esp their skin care. Love their toners and body lotions ❤️ I’m super interested in trying the Melograno perfume. I’m in MN, USA!

I am interested in Vaniglia. Thank you for presenting all these fragrances. I am fan of patchouli. I am in Florida

Such a great brand with an epic history. My favorite is Zagara. I can't get enough of it. My only wish is it would last longer.

Melograno was in the handbag of Vesper Lynd from the 1967 version of Casino Royal. When it was remade in 2006 it was there as well as a nod to the original.

This is the first time I've heard of this line I will be looking more into it. I am Italian and I adore Italian perfumers. I would love to try SANTA MARIA NOVELLA MELOGRANO, pomegranates is one of my favorite fruits, I'd love to try it. Thanks for the opportunity and your wonderful video, as usual. I'm in PA.

I think the Vetiver sounds interesting. A favorite note of mine. Thanks Sebastian from Alabama.

I was planning on visiting their store right before covid restrictions hit. Can’t wait to travel again to visit different houses that I don’t have close by me.

Great review! I forgot about this brand. I remember going into their NYC store long ago. I love their Patchouli and have wanted a bottle, but still need to try their acqua di sicilia - sounds amazing. Keep me in mind for the giveaway! 😉

I've never had the pleasure to try any of the Santa Maria Novella fragrances however I think that Melograano and Tabacco toscano would be the best. The Melograano because I love classic powdery fragrances they are amazing during the day and I'm curious to see if one can smell the pomegranate. Tabacco toscano because of the complete opposite the mixture of the smells. The tobacco brings that rain-soaked newly-sown fields, loamy soils. The vanilla brings that smoky vanilla smell that you get when you simmer a couple of vanilla bean. The spices/ woody notes take the fragrances to a whole new level. I haven't smelled it however it sounds very complex and sensual. If I had to imagined how it did I would say that it would probably smell similar to shalimar guerlain but less leathery. Great for a night time perfume)) love your channel ❤

I love this brand..thank you for reviewing it. It's not listed here ...but Cinquanta is my favourite hot weather perfume...a beautiful long lasting citrus

I've been to Firenze a number of times and lived in Italy for 3 years but never heard of Santa Maria Novella Pharmacy.Tobacco Toscano sounds right up my alley and maybe? a way to bring creamy tobacco into the warmer months? I'm in. Great review of another obscure brand to discover! Thanks...IL...

Being in tailoring business,I would wear Tabacco Toscano while working with clients at the shop. Feels like professional type of scent , at least that's my association with tobacco fragrances Thank you Sebastian, and thanks to ZGO Perfumery Both Maryland and Virginia

Beautiful pharmacy, beautiful fragrances. I would really like to try Melograno, love powdery chypres, rose oakmoss..I live in California

I have not heard about this house until now. Thanks! Melograno sounds interesting due to the pomegranate note. Thanks for entering me in the giveaway. Regards from Texas.

I have been to the Santa Maria Novella in Florence many times and did the tour several times. I own five of their fragrances and have used lots of their soaps and body milk. The five fragrances I now own are: Patchouli Melograno Acqua di Lavanda Ambrata (lavender and amber) Violetta Gelsomino (jasmine) In the US you used to be able to buy them at Aedes de Venustas in New York City in person at their store or on line. I am not sure if the store survived the pandemic but think you can still buy them on line. Years ago before they were available on the internet, I remember having to call Santa Maria Novella to order something and years ago, I had to even order things from Aedes by phone. When I ordered anything from Aedes, it used to arrive by U.S mail the very next day.

love this house...Vaniglia was my first purchase and is almost finished. there was a shop in Cape Town and now I cannot find them, such a pity! I also have the Ambra di Seoul. Love their Jojoba bath oil from this house.

Visited Santa Maria Novella in Florence in September 2018. Loved the place and fragrances. Enjoying Violetta at the moment💙 my fresh and spicy scent with a touch of vanilla. Very interesting fresh sweet scent Enjoying their Melograno as well!💖

I would say tobacco toscano sounds like something I would enjoy. I have never heard of this house, but your reviews help me learn so much. Thanks for the chance to win. In Maryland.

The Pomegranate sounds amazing. Don’t have anything like that, so I might need to get my nose to it. The tobacco of course sounds wonderful as well but the pomegranate is the one that has me the most curious. I’m in Virginia btw. Thx for the vid and keep em coming :)

Wow interesting! These sounds gorgeous. I am impressed so many of your subscribers know this house. What do you think “modern “ fragrances are? Mostly gourmand, right? And minus the sophistication of old! I would like to try your number 1- the tobacco one, because it sounds very interesting and I trust your judgment- 3 bottles is impressive! I live in WA. I like this review because I am surprised again with a new-to-me house!

Love all your videos. I blind buy a few perfumes you were review. Love them all !

Thank u so much for great video & this is new house for me but u think I m gonna try Santa Maria novella patchouli.... Illinois

It’s funny , my wife check out this video before going to Saks Fifth Ave to pick up her fave Melograno . And her reaction after getting her first bottle is “ euphoric”😂

Tabacco Toscana sounds like a wonderful outdoorsy fragrance. Thanks for the opportunity to sniff! Mich USA

Seb what about Acqua Di Cuba? Heard it’s going to be discontinued soon. Pretty good one as well, notes of tobacco and honey.

Tobacco Toscano sounds the best to me. Tobacco and Sandlewood are two of my favorite scents. I am familiar with the house, but have never owned a bottle. I live in Texas.

I'm always drawn to fragrance houses that have been around forever, love to hear the history. The Melograno has really piqued my interest with the pomegranate note. Thanks for the review. I live in California.

Vetiver is definitely my favourite. Another one is Lana I guess, a new one. Great too. I buy this stuff in Paris, place des Vosges. I recommend.

Hi from Firenze, SMN is one of my favourite places to go, even just to have a smell of beauty! It’s one of my “posti del cuore” Have you tried Lana, Marescialla and Eva colognes? I love them!

I love Vaniglia which is fresh spicy and warm spicy to my nose.

I was in Italy in 2000, and visited Florence, but I didn't know about the Santa Maria Novello pharmacy. I wish I had known, because i would probably have purchased the carnation fragrance. You actually told me about it probably two years ago because I love the discontinued Roger & Gallet Blue Carnation. It was my signature scent in junior high and high school until it was discontinued in 1976. But, being a lover of tobacco in fragrances, I would have to go with Tobacco Toscano. However, if Garafano becomes an option for the giveaway, I would love to have the opportunity to win a bottle of it. Thanks so much Sebastian! I am in the U.S. in Kansas. Lisa

Sebastian, I would love to try the SMN Patchouli. Madonna’s 1989 album Like a Prayer came with a patchouli scent impregnated in the album booklet. Since then I have memories about that scent, but I never owned the album (My friend did). And newer copies of the album do not contain the scent. I recently did a research about the album’s scent and found that some people say that Santa Maria Novella Patchouli smells like Madonna’s album. It would be great to experience that scent one more time.I live in Texas.

Thank you. This was interesting for someone who just learned of Santa Maria Novella.

Ooh nice!!

Excellent review. Would like to hear a bit the similarities (if any) and differences between Tabacco Toscano and Tabacco Vanille from Tom Ford. Greetings from Italy

Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella is celebrating its 800th anniversary and has a beautiful dried flower exhibition. I adore Tobacco Tuscano. It's my favorite tobacco fragrance of all time.

Have been wanting to try TobaccpToscano since I started my fragrance journey because I’m on the hunt for a pipe tobacco frag. I like these reviews because I trust you (opinion and motives). 🙋🏼‍♀️ Hi from SoCal.

Tabacco Toscano is also my favorite. Love it 🥰

Melograno.....dying to try this one too !!

Tabacco Toscano fan in the house! On my third bottle now...

I was in their London store yesterday and they were super nice and friendly. I bought the patchouli and they gave me a big handful of testers for a few others. The shop is small but it's well worth a visit. The guy in the store told me that Potpouri is their number one seller.

I’ve been wanting to try the brand for a while so the best thing about the video is you covering this brand. I’m most interested in Tobacco Toscano. I live in Michigan.

Fan for sure...Ginestra❤️ Melograno❤️ I use Lafco for SMN now but I treasure my experience in Florence.

Ralph Fiennes wore one of the SMN fragrances in his role as M. Gustave, the legendary concierge in "The Grand Budapest Hotel". I tried to track it down, but haven't had any luck. I think M. Gustave would wear Garofano. I've always wanted to try Melograno because of its classic aspects. Thanks for the giveaway, Sebastian & ZGO! Illinois

I only have Acqua Di Sicilia... very similar to ADP colonia ... just pure Italian classic cologne! I love it

my favorite is Spanish leather, you have to try . I am sure you will like it !

I happen to love Santa Maria Novella !!! I have been wanting to pick up Tobacco Toscano...Garafano.....Peau d'Espagne..and Lana. I live in Florida USA..would love to be in give-away.
