    Additional information

    Founded in 1221 in Florence, Santa Maria Novella is the oldest artisanal perfumery and pharmacy in the world. Originating in a Dominican convent, the house has been crafting balms, ointments, and remedies from medicinal plants since its inception. Its ancestral expertise has been passed down to the present day, blending tradition and excellence. Renowned for its iconic perfumes, candles, and preparations, it embodies Florentine elegance. Santa Maria Novella offers a unique sensory experience, rooted in eight centuries of history.

    An old-fashioned, expert, and sensorial shave—between freshness and depth.
    Eucalyptus, menthol, tobacco, amber, vanilla—fresh, woody, elegant.

    Tabacco Toscano Shaving Cream is one of Santa Maria Novella's most unique products—an apothecary founded in Florence in 1221. It is a product that implies a ritual, not a routine: the badger brush, the lather worked by hand, the slow and precise gesture. In this world of traditional shaving, the cream is the primary actor—it prepares the skin, softens the hair, and protects the face from the blade with a precision and effectiveness that canned foams cannot match.

    The texture is dense, rich, and creamy—it transforms with the badger brush into a compact, homogeneous, and generous lather that adheres perfectly to the skin. Eucalyptus and menthol open with an immediate and slightly camphorated vivacity, toning and awakening. Anise brings a slight anised lightness. And Tabacco Toscano—the iconic signature of the Florentine officina—establishes a woody and amber base, slightly vanilla, with a hushed and very masculine elegance. The skin emerges from shaving soothed, slightly fresh, and subtly scented.

    Tabacco Toscano Shaving Cream is for those who want their shave to be a precise, sensorial, and memorable moment.

    Why use a shaving brush?

    The shaving brush allows you to work the cream into a dense and homogeneous lather, lift the hairs perpendicular to the skin for a more precise cut, and gently exfoliate the epidermis to prevent ingrown hairs. It is a gesture that significantly improves the quality and comfort of shaving compared to applying by hand.

    What is Tabacco Toscano?

    Tabacco Toscano is one of Santa Maria Novella's most famous scented signatures—an evocation of sun-dried Tuscan tobacco, slightly sweet, woody, and amber. Warm, hushed, slightly vanilla, it is a decidedly masculine and timeless signature, worn for decades by traditional shaving enthusiasts.

    Is the scent pronounced during shaving?

    It is present and distinctive, but balanced—the freshness of eucalyptus and menthol dominates at the time of application, then tobacco and amber gradually settle in. The overall effect is aromatic without being overpowering, elegant without ever being intrusive.

    Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

    Yes—its dense texture effectively protects the skin during blade passage, reducing irritation and razor burn. Menthol provides an immediate soothing sensation after shaving.
