Vita Nova
Vita Nova is named after Dante's book. Dante belonged to the same guild of physicians and apothecaries as the pharmacy, in medieval Firenze. Black pepper, caraway and elemi at the start, cloves and pink pepper in the heart, vanilla, white musk and cedar at the base. Spicy, a little mysterious, and it wears warm.
From Firenze, since 1561
This fragrance is made in Firenze by Farmacia SS. Annunziata, a pharmacy that has been in the same city since 1561 and still composes its own perfumes there, each one signed by a perfumer. I chose to bring their collection to the Beauty Bar because they work the way I like to work. Few ingredients, chosen for a reason. Less, but quality.
The notes
Top: Black pepper, caraway, elemi
Heart: Pink pepper, cloves
Base: Vanilla berries, white musk, cedarwood
Type: Parfum
How I wear it
Spray it on dry skin after the shower, two or three sprays on the wrists and the neck. Body heat opens it up over the day. It also layers well over your body cream, which makes it last longer.
