How to change fragrances by seasons: a guide to weather and temperature
The same fragrance on a July afternoon and a January evening sounds like two different perfumes. In ...
The house of Santa Maria Novella gifted the world with Calicantus in 1999. A feminine fragrance rooted in the chypre and floral families. The fragrance concentration is eau de cologne.
Made in Italy, backed by a long and proud tradition. Calicantus Santa Maria Novella — the choice of those who appreciate depth and character in every detail.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A fresh and light fragrance with a concentration of fragrant substances up to 5% according to French standards, giving a feeling of purity and coolness
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The scent of Calicantus unfolds as a living composition, where notes flow smoothly and sequentially. The signature of Santa Maria Novella is clear from the opening to the final trail. Nothing here feels random, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de Cologne emphasizes the right density and pace of development.
At the note-group layer the structure relies on Citrus, Whiteflower, Floral and Powdery. It also reaches into Ambery, Earthy / Mossy, Fruit and Gourmet. At family level the scent maps to Chypre and Floral.
At the opening of the pyramid you meet radiant jasmine top notes: Bergamot, Orange blossom and ylang-ylang.
In the heart you detect Clove, Jasmine, Narcissus and Powdery notes holding a silky white floral direction.
The accord profile rests on these accords: Citrus, Floral, Fruit and Wood with each one in a clear role. Background accords such as Powdery, Amber and Spicy add depth to the backdrop. The profile is feminine, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived.
Taken together Calicantus reads as a cohesive composition — the start forms character, the heart develops the core line, and the base secures the trail. These are the fragrances best experienced through real development.
