Rose cologne

The Rosa perfume of the Officina Profumo Farmaceutica of Santa Maria Novella is a bouquet of floral notes that recall the typical fragrance of the queen of perfumery, Rosa centifolia or May rose. The rose has very ancient origins. Roses were already found at the time of the Sumerians, roses are spoken of in the Iliad and in China in the fifth century BC the use of the essence of roses was reserved for the Emperor and the nobles of the court. The Romans made great use of it: the streets of the city were sprinkled with rose petals during the holidays, garlands of roses were worn at banquets, rose water was sprinkled on diners. The archives show that as early as 1381 the Dominicans "sold" rose water. In the language of flowers it has various meanings depending on the color: "Candor" the white roses, "Passion" the red ones, "Infidelity" and "Jealousy" the yellow roses.
