Aromatic riches


The story of our soaps and colognes from Santa Maria Novella is intriguing as their lovely scents, from almond to pomegranate. Dominican monks began making herbal remedies at the Florence church in the 13th century. Today Santa Maria Novella's soaps are still made by hand; each bar ages for a month before it's carved and packaged for sale.

Santa Maria Novella products are available now in our Portland and Rockland stores.
