One of my favorite products is the rose water from Santa Maria Novella. It's an amazing place to visit if you are ever in Florence, Italy. A little more about its history below excerpted from Smithsonian magazine. But as home to one of the world's oldest pharmacies, Santa Maria Novella boasts an attraction no other church in Italy can match. Dominican monks began concocting herbal remedies here in the 13th century, in the time of Giotto and Dante. Today, the Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella still sells traditional elixirs, along with more contemporary skin-care products, oils and perfumes.
