Marescialla - Acqua di Colonia
Marescialla is a fragrance steeped in legend and history, its origins tracing back to a 19th-century formula built around the warm spice of mace. Once created as a perfumed powder, the scent carries the richness and drama of another era - opulent, mysterious, and unmistakably refined.
The composition opens with the distinctive warmth of mace, a spice both aromatic and subtly sweet. Dry woods unfold at the heart, adding structure and depth, while the base lingers with a soft, resinous warmth that feels elegant and enduring. The result is a fragrance that balances spice and wood with remarkable sophistication.
Rich in character and historical allure, Marescialla evokes the atmosphere of grand salons and literary worlds, recalling its mention in Il Gattopardo, where a scented neckline carried its unforgettable trail.

ABOUT SANTA MARIA NOVELLA
Established in 1221 in Florence, the Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella originates from the Dominican friars who founded the Santa Maria Novella convent and cultivated a remarkable garden.
This marked the beginning of their expertise in pharmacopoeia and natural preparations. Over time, this knowledge expanded to encompass cosmetics, fragrances, and wellness products, making Santa Maria Novella a renowned name in these realms.
In 1533, a young Catherine de Medici embarked on her journey to marry the future king of France, accompanied by a retinue that included a perfumer named Renato Bianco. Renato, later known as René le Florentin, brought the ancient wisdom of Florence's essence-makers to Paris, spreading the noble art of perfume throughout the world. Acqua di Santa Maria Novella, also known as Acqua della Regina or the "Queen's Water," is the oldest fragrance from the Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella, paying homage to the love-filled gift that Caterina bestowed upon France.
