Santa Maria Novella fragrances are highly regarded by the r/fragrance community for their unique, ancient-feeling character and impressive performance, particularly Marescialla which balances spice with freshness. The main drawback is severe scarcity of samples and limited online ordering options, making exploration before purchase quite challenging. Those who appreciate unconventional, complex scents with historical charm find the house exceptional.
