The longevity is quite short! I wouldn't recommend this to those looking for a long-lasting fragrance

It has such a luxurious scent! Initially, there's a bright bergamot note, followed by a rose fragrance in the middle, and it leaves a lingering musky aroma!

The packaging feels cheap. The gold plating on the cap peels off, making it look quite unsightly.

A perfect perfume for when you want a lighter scent than your usual go-to! Highly recommended for rose fragrance lovers. Personally, I find it ideal for summer - it's my go-to light and refreshing scent for the warmer months!

For extended longevity, try applying it to your elbows or hair.

While the lingering scent is truly wonderful, the initial spray might make you go 'Huh?' (personal preference). But the lasting fragrance is absolutely incredible.

Ingredients: True to its name, Santa Maria Novella, which originated in a Florence monastery, uses only the finest fragrances and raw materials. It's a perfume brand you can trust, primarily composed of gentle ingredients.

Formulation: Housed in a transparent glass bottle with elegant gold packaging. Being colorless, it won't stain your clothes even when sprayed close.

Scent: A blend of gardenia, bergamot, sandalwood, vanilla, and musk. It's not an intense rose scent, but rather a cozy one. The fresh top notes mingle with the middle notes of rose and gardenia, creating an enchanting aroma that draws you in.

Effectiveness: The longevity is incredible! Even when sprayed in the morning, it lingers subtly on clothes, working its magic to last until the next day. This level of lasting power at this price point is simply amazing.

The price is wickedly high... But I'm considering repurchasing once I've used up all my other perfumes.

I tried this perfume that came as a sample with the body emulsion and body wash set. It's not as strong as I expected, and the lingering scent is absolutely delightful.

Depending on my skin's condition, even one spray could be a bit harsh for me. I found the body emulsion to be gentler and more fragrant.

The fragrance is absolutely delightful! It's perfect for winter and suits well for all seasons except the peak of summer.

So far, I haven't found any particular drawbacks to mention.

When I sampled this fragrance, it was so evocative that it conjured up images of an ancient Italian cathedral before my eyes (perhaps that scent had been etched in my memory). It's a sophisticated aroma that demands attention. It opens with rich white floral notes (gardenia, cabbage rose, etc.), then settles into a powdery skin scent (sandalwood, musk) with a vanilla finish that lingers. I was pleased that the subtle, elegant, and soft fragrance didn't fatigue my sense of smell. Rather than suiting a bubbly 20-something, I'd recommend this for a more composed, feminine 30-something. It also has an androgynous appeal, perfect for when you want to channel that 'church oppa' vibe.

It's a heavy scent for summer wear. Spring is about the latest you'd want to use it. If you wear it in early to mid-summer, the heavy, sweet fragrance might make you feel dizzy.

I'm not sure if it's a defect, but the spray power wasn't great unless you pressed down hard.

First off, it's a sweet, soft floral scent that's perfect for fall and winter, especially winter. The lingering scent is slightly... vanilla-like? It's a sweet fragrance that would be ideal for winter wear. It's a gentle floral scent, but not a fresh flower or natural aroma. It's hard to call it artificial, but it's definitely not a natural scent. It's a floral fragrance with a very soft... milky feel? The longevity was really impressive. Other Sandalo perfumes aren't known for their staying power, but Rosa Gardenia was particularly long-lasting, which was satisfying. And the case... it really shows off that this is a high-end perfume. I loved how incredibly beautiful the case was. I think the hallmark of a department store perfume is a luxurious cap, and this one was exceptionally elegant and weighty. Even the back isn't plain, it has a pattern, making the case absolutely stunning.

If you're expecting a clear rose scent, I'd recommend a different perfume. This one has a warm fragrance similar to vanilla, which is perfect for winter wear.

This is my absolute favorite perfume for winter! The scent is dominated by gardenia and a milky, oily fragrance rather than rose. The longevity is quite good, and I especially love how the lingering scent is soft and subtle. It's truly a signature scent that I adore!

Depending on personal taste, this might not be a fragrance you'll immediately like upon first spray. It's definitely a polarizing scent that people either love or hate. You might need some time to get used to it too. The main takeaway here is that you should always sample a perfume before buying it. I broke out in a cold sweat thinking about how I nearly wasted a lot of money.

This is my first Santa Maria Novella fragrance. Despite being a soap scent enthusiast, strangely enough, I had never purchased a perfume from this brand famous for its various soap-like fragrances. Somehow, I was intrigued by interesting reviews describing it as an expensive(?) strawberry milk or rose milk scent, or a youthful rose soap fragrance. Even though I don't particularly like rose scents, I ended up buying this pricey perfume without even sampling it first. When I received it and sprayed it for the first time, to my nose, it smelled like an intensely concentrated rose scent, reminiscent of dried flowers so parched they'd crumble into powder. This was accompanied by an inexplicable severe nausea and headache, making me fear I'd made a huge mistake. A few days later, on a cool evening when I was feeling better, I decided to try it again. That's when I finally detected that famous rose milk or soap-like fragrance everyone talks about. While I wouldn't say it's incredibly amazing or a massive success, I found the scent somewhat satisfying. I think I might appreciate it even more as the weather gets colder.

Please don't reduce the amount. I hope it stays the same. It's just too good!

This is absolutely amazing! Everyone asks what I'm wearing when I spray this on. It's even better when used as a set with the body products.

The bottle... it's totally my style and really beautiful, but... the sticker printing on the front of the bottle leaves glittery residue on my hands. I'm not a fan of this type of shimmery ink(?) transfer, so I have to be careful when holding the bottle and pumping the fragrance.

I fell in love with San Mano's scent at first whiff! It immediately became a must-have fragrance for me. Personally, I found the scent especially delightful after the top notes faded a bit. The initial sharp, floral-like top notes were a bit overwhelming for me. I adore the lingering scent so much that I often spritz it on my clothes before going out. Many describe it as a soft rose milk scent, which I can definitely understand! To me, it feels like a gentle body cream fragrance with an added softness. I think Rosa Gardenia's creaminess might be a bit heavy for summer wear.
