By the editors · 2 min readSanta Maria Novella's Fresia is a soliflore in the strict sense — a composition built to render a single flower rather than to construct a personality. The Florentine house, working from a tradition that precedes modern perfumery entirely, treats freesia here as both subject and structure: the fresh, slightly lemony-green florality of freesia sits at the top with characteristic delicacy; violet and rose in the heart provide supporting florals that amplify without competing; iris and musk close in quiet, powdery near-silence. The simplicity is the point. An eau de cologne in sensibility if not in concentration — light, clean, resolved.
