A new release with a timeless scent
Santa Maria Novella fragrances never disappoint me, still, I was surprised when I sampled Rosa Gardenia 1221. SMN colognes are always elegant, but this EDC is modern, yet classical too. I can picture it on an Edwardian lady’s duchesse, but also at the office or a lazy Sunday brunch. It is quite green, so the white florals aren’t overwhelming. I don’t pick up much of the rose myself, more of the gardenia, green milky fig and musk, but I expect that different people detect different notes with this one. I particularly like green notes, so maybe that’s why I focus on these aspects of Rosa Gardenia. Don’t overspray this one. It may be an Eau de cologne, but it packs a punch and could be overwhelming. I find it very long-lasting actually. 6 to 8 hours, which is extraordinary for an EDC. Great value for money.
