The Story
Pot Pourri is one of the oldest continuously produced fragrances in the world, created by the Dominican friars of Santa Maria Novella in Florence. It's a complex, spicy floral blend that feels both ancient and timeless. The scent opens with bright citrus and clove, then settles into a warm, powdery heart of rose and lavender, with a base of amber and musk. It's a piece of history you can wear.
