Additional information
A Florentine dew on the face — pure, gentle, timeless.
Distilled Damask rose — floral, soothing, toning.
Acqua di Rose is one of Santa Maria Novella's most iconic preparations — a pharmacy founded in Florence in 1221 by Dominican friars. For centuries, rose distillation has been one of the pharmacy's foundational practices: damask rose petals, picked at dawn, are distilled according to traditional methods to extract a floral water of a purity and authenticity that no modern formulation can match. It is not a rose-scented water — it is the water of the rose itself.
The texture is watery, crystalline, and slightly vaporous — it settles on the face like morning dew, leaving no residue. The effect is immediate: the skin is toned, slightly tightened, soothed, and fresh. The damask rose expresses itself in its most natural and authentic form — floral, slightly fruity, slightly honeyed, with a vegetal sweetness unique to it. A discreet, very close-to-the-skin sillage that evokes Florentine gardens in spring.
Acqua di Rose is for those who want their facial care to also be a tradition — pure, floral, eight centuries old.

A word from Maison Diaphane
A pure and timeless floral water, inherited from the oldest beauty traditions. The fact that Rosa damascena flower water is the first ingredient on the INCI list — and not water — indicates a rare concentration and botanical quality. This is the facial toner to recommend for all skin types, especially sensitive skin that seeks gentleness above all else.

What is damask rose water?
Damask rose (Rosa damascena) is the rose variety most used in perfumery and cosmetics for its aromatic richness and soothing properties. Its floral water is obtained by steam distillation of fresh petals — it is a pure hydrolat, with no added alcohol, which concentrates the botanical properties of the rose in their most natural form.
How to use a floral toner?
Morning and evening after cleansing the face, before applying a serum or cream. It can be applied with a soft cotton pad, or sprayed directly onto the face with eyes closed. It prepares the skin to better absorb subsequent treatments.
What is the difference with Acqua di Erba?
Acqua di Erba is made from peppermint and intended for the body — it refreshes and invigorates. Acqua di Rose is made from damask rose and intended for the face — it tones and soothes. Two complementary floral waters in Santa Maria Novella's botanical universe.
Which size to choose — 250 ml or 500 ml?
The 250 ml is ideal for trying the product or for on-the-go use. The 500 ml is the everyday size — economical, practical, and particularly suitable if the floral water is used morning and evening as a regular ritual.
