Lonely Planet review for Officina Profumo Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella
Step in for the scent of the place, if nothing else. This bewitching shop – the catchily named Roman branch of one of Italy’s oldest pharmacies – sells exquisite lotions and potions under a Murano-glass chandelier. It was founded in Florence in 1612 by the Dominican monks of Santa Maria Novella, and many of its cosmetics are based on original 17th-century herbal recipes.
