Eva Santa Maria Novella arrived in 2002 — and it was immediately clear this one was here to stay. By character, a unisex fragrance drawing from the citrus and aromatic families. The fragrance belongs to the spicy, wood, and citrus groups. In eau de cologne — and that's all it takes to fall in love.
It has a delicate sillage, staying close and personal. Apply 2-3 sprays whether on skin or fabric — it works equally well either way. The longevity is high — this one will stay with you for the long haul. Country of origin — Italy: no wonder the fragrance turned out this refined. Eva Santa Maria Novella unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
The fragrance is highly persistent and lasts on the skin for up to 8–10 hours, gradually revealing its notes and allowing you to enjoy the full bouquet throughout the day
A subtle trail—just a hint of fragrance
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
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
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The note pyramid of Eva is built as a cohesive olfactory arc, where layers reveal themselves with precision and warmth. The signature of Santa Maria Novella is clear in the way notes appear and fade. 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 opening of the pyramid you meet sparkling citrus top notes: Bergamot and Lemon. Exactly these 2 notes build a sensation of cool purity that is impossible to miss.
When the opening settles you detect Black Pepper and Spices holding a cinnamon-nutmeg direction.
The olfactory framework is built around these accords: Citrus, Wood and Spicy without random overlap. The gender direction is unisex, which makes the scent profile easier to read. For persistence High suggests confident staying power.
At the note-group layer the composition is built around Citrus, Spicy, Wood and Aromatic. From a family perspective the fragrance belongs to Aromatic and Citrus.
In summary Eva reads as a cohesive composition — the opening sets direction, the heart develops the core line, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. This is the type of composition best judged through real development.
