Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella
Considered the world’s oldest pharmacy, Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella sets its roots back to 1221. Founded by a group of Dominican friars in Florence, the convent of Santa Maria Novella began to cultivate a botanical garden, obtaining high-quality natural ingredients for medicines, ointments and balms. After over 800 years and a continuously evolving alchemy of tales and wonders, the pharmacy’s range, which expanded through the years to include cosmetics, fragrances and wellness products, beautifully reflects stories of Florence’s history, personalities and society.
