Angeli di Firenze

Angeli di Firenze by Santa Maria Novella, from 2006, is a sweet, fruity floral scent worn by anyone. Gourmand and floral are the two words everyone uses for it; about two thirds also call it woody and musky, and a minority find it fresh.

Peach, melon and black currant give the fruity sweetness, ripe and juicy rather than candied. Ylang-ylang, jasmine and cyclamen supply the floral side, ylang-ylang creamy and heady, jasmine rich, cyclamen lighter and watery. Iris adds a soft powderiness that gives the flowers an elegant finish. Vanilla brings warmth and a rounded sweetness, while precious woods and white musk settle the base into something clean and skin-like.

The composition is gentle and comforting, a fruit-and-flower scent that works year round and suits daytime wear. It is a softer, more romantic style from a house better known for its classical colognes, and will suit anyone who enjoys creamy white florals with a fruity edge.
