I could do a month of lemmings from Santa Maria Novella, but here's just one for our Enchanted April Friday: Acqua di Fior d'Arancio / Orange Blossom Water. "Orange blossoms from the sun-soaked orchards of Sicily make this invigorating water a treatment for purifying and toning the skin. The Dominican Friars used this water centuries ago to obtain relief from the common cold by soaking a clean wash cloth and placing on chest or nose. Today, add a splash to your bath to soothe tired muscles or apply a touch to your body or to linens as a refreshing fragrance." Available in 250 ($35) and 500 ($60) ml.
Ruh roh! Lemming born. I use hydrosols in my skin care – they work great on my super sensitive skin.
I like hydrosols too, although I usually forget to use them and they just slowly go bad 🙂
Have never had an orange blossom one, though.
Acqua di Fior d’Arancio! Just saying it makes me smile. And at that price it’s practically free. If ever I were to make a trip to Italy I would be sure to visit Santa Mario Novella.
I’ve enjoyed thinking about Italian fragrance and Enchanted April this week. Aromatics, herbs, citrus, and sunshine – ahhhh!
Oh do! It’s fabulous. I made the mistake of thinking it was right next to the Santa Maria Novella Basilica but nope, we went right past it a good .2 miles (or it felt that way due to the heat) because the entrance was so nondescript — the outer foyer looked like that of a tiny apartment building.
It’s a lovely store! And they make lovely shower gels.
