UNVEILING THE WORLD OF ACQUA DELLA REGINA
Officina’s oldest fragrance was born as an homage to a gift. A gift that in 1533 escorted Caterina de’ Medici to the court of France. Acqua della Regina tells you a royal story, inspired by 800 years of tradition, just waiting to become your story. A royal tribute to the gift of love from Caterina de’ Medici to the king of France. Acqua della Regina is the Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella’s oldest fragrance.
Acqua di S.M. Novella - also known as Acqua della Regina (the Queen's Water) - celebrates the perfume that Caterina de’ Medici commissioned the Dominican monks to create in 1533, and took with her to France when she married Enrico di Valois. It is a fresh and citrusy bouquet full of petitgrain, neroli and lavender, and grounded rich rosemary and musk.
