Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella sets its roots back to 1221. Founded as a Dominican friars conventum, it is considered today the oldest pharmacy in the world, which carries its activities in the very places where they all began. Its apothecary art legacy crosses eight centuries and is deeply intertwined with Florence history, personalities and social tissue, in a continuously-renewed alchemy of tales and wonders. Today’s Officina is famous all over the world for its perfumes, candles, and “traditional preparations”.

Magnolia Grandiflora is a grandiose evergreen tree whose traces can be found also in the prehistoric era. It questions our notion of time with its unusual ability to pass through times, to adapt to different environments, and to preserve its one-of-a-kind individuality. A rare talent that reminds of Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella's own history. An awe-inspiring exemplar of Magnolia Grandiflora also graces the facade of Villa Medici di Castello: this species arrived in Florence in the 18th century, and it was soon grown in the Medici's family possessions.
