santa maria novella
Acqua Della Regina Candle
Scented with the renowned Acqua della Regina, this candle carries the same enchanting history as the celebrated Eau de Cologne — the fragrance created in 1533 and gifted by Caterina de’ Medici to the King of France. Fresh, luminous citrus notes unfold as it burns, filling the room with a refined and timeless atmosphere. Part of the Firenze 1221 Edition, the candle reflects a long tradition of craftsmanship, made using the highest quality raw materials.
A storied Florentine fragrance, brought into the home.
Dimensions: 250 g - 8.8 oz; Candle diameter: 3.3 in, Candle height: 3.9 in
Care: For first-time use, leave the candle burning until the surface is completely liquid. Never leave a burning candle unattended, and do not move it while lit or when the wax is still liquid. Extinguish the candle with its lid, regularly trim the wick to 3–5 mm, and keep the wick centered. Avoid placing a burning candle in direct contact with any surface, and do not allow it to burn for more than 3 hours at a time.
About the Brand
Founded in Florence in 1221 by Dominican friars, Santa Maria Novella is one of the world's oldest apothecaries. What began as a monastic pursuit of herbal remedies grew into something larger: the friars treated one of the city's most powerful merchant families, who repaid them with a chapel that still houses the shop today. In 1533, Catherine de' Medici brought their apprentice perfumer with her to the French court, carrying the workshop's name across Europe before the pharmacy had even opened its doors to the public. When it finally did, it drew the patronage of the Grand Duke of Tuscany himself. What began as balms and remedies for the sick gradually gave way to fragrance, skincare, and traditional soapmaking, though the address never changed, and neither, in large part, did the methods. Each product still reflects that same slowness, made with care, in the heart of Florence.
