The Santa Maria Novella Acqua Fluid Body Cream captures the luminous, aquatic character of Acqua, inspired by the historic fountains of the Grotta degli Animali at Villa Medicea di Castello. Its refined fragrance unfolds with fresh pear and freesia, softened by delicate lotus flower and musk for an elegant aquatic-floral composition. Enriched with vegetable oils and butters, the nourishing formula helps soften and condition the skin while supporting comfort and elasticity. The silky cream leaves the body delicately scented, extending the fragrance with a beautifully balanced presence. Part of the I Giardini Medicei collection, it transforms an everyday ritual into a fragrant journey through the Medici gardens.
Santa Maria Novella will open your nose and your heart to its rich apothecary legacy and Florentine history. Founded in 1221 as the go-to place for medicinal plants, perfumes, cosmetics and candles, the historic house is the oldest pharmacy in the world. Santa Maria Novella has unique production processes that highlights craftsmanship and is still carried out in the very places it all began eight centuries ago. Acqua Della Regina is the brand’s oldest scent, a citrus and elegant fragrance that was gifted by Catherine de’ Medici to her future husband Henry II of Valois as a wedding present.
