    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.

    A deep patchouli, between earth and warmth — dense, soothing, intense.
    Patchouli, sandalwood, benzoin, spices, flowers — woody, spicy, enveloping.

    Patchouli Soap is the deepest, most earthy expression of Santa Maria Novella soaps — the officina founded in Florence in 1221. Where Gelsomino is sunny and floral, and Melograno oriental and fruity, Patchouli plunges into another dimension: undergrowth, resins, dark spices, the warmth of the earth after rain. It is a soap for those who love intense, deep, and memorable signatures — fragrances that are not easily forgotten.

    The base of whole milk and vegetable oils gives the soap a particular richness and creaminess — the lather is creamy, generous, and nourishing, enveloping and protecting dry skin with remarkable effectiveness. The patchouli expresses itself with characteristic intensity and complexity — earthy, slightly fermented, deeply woody. Sandalwood brings a creamy, slightly milky warmth. Benzoin introduces a resinous and slightly vanilla depth, very warm and enveloping. Spices add a subtle vibrancy and additional complexity. And dark flowers — carnation, deep rose — soften the ensemble with an intense and unexpected femininity.

    Patchouli Soap is for those who want their shower to be a profound experience — dense, intense, memorable.

    Patchouli Soap from Santa Maria Novella is a 130g solid perfumed soap based on whole milk and vegetable oils — patchouli, sandalwood, benzoin, musk, spices, and flowers. A preparation from the Florentine officina founded in 1221. Available at Maison Diaphane, official retailer. Free delivery from 100 € (in France).

    What is benzoin?

    Benzoin is a resin extracted from styrax, a tropical tree native to Southeast Asia. Used in perfumery for centuries, it brings a soft, slightly vanilla and slightly milky warmth, very different from labdanum resin or frankincense. In this soap, it extends the patchouli into a warm and enveloping depth that softens the woody signature.

    Is the patchouli very pronounced?

    It is present and identifiable, but balanced by sandalwood, benzoin, and flowers — it is not a raw or aggressive patchouli; it is a deep and sophisticated woody accord. Those who fear patchouli in its most earthy form will often be pleasantly surprised by the complexity and elegance of this soap.

    For which olfactory profile?

    Lovers of woody, oriental, or resinous fragrances — those who wear patchoulis, ouds, deep ambers, or dark chypres. Santa Maria Novella Patchouli Soap is the natural continuation of these universes in the daily care routine.

    Why 130g and not 100g like other soaps?

    The 130g format is unique to this soap in the Santa Maria Novella range — a slightly more generous format than the standard 100g, which allows for extended use without exceeding the practicality threshold of a solid soap.
