Description

Ottone and Porcellana mark the opening of the festivities commemorating the 400th anniversary of
the founding of the Officina Profumo – Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella.
The selection of the names reflects the Officina’s return to countries where it was known in the 18th
century. Ottone takes us to northern Europe, Germany and Russia, while Porcellana lead us to the
Far East, birthplace of this elegant material and whose tradition the Medicis found extraordinarily
fascinating.
Ottone is enveloping and decisive, Porcellana is delicate and romantic. Ottone was launched in 2012. The nose behind this fragrance is Eugenio Alphandery.
