    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 floral caress between cleansing and care — fresh, soothing, preparatory.
    Orange blossom, rose, gardenia, musk, vanilla — floral, soft, luminous.

    The Rosa Gardenia Toner is the transitional step in Santa Maria Novella’s Florentine facial ritual — an officina founded in Florence in 1221. Between cleansing and moisturizing, there is this often-overlooked moment when the skin is bare, receptive, ready to receive subsequent care. The toner is made for this moment — to refresh, to balance, to lay the first layer of hydration and prepare the skin to better absorb what comes next. Rosa Gardenia is here in its lightest and most immediate expression.

    The texture is aqueous, crystalline, and absolutely light — alcohol-free, it doesn't tighten or dry out the skin. It settles on the skin like a fresh dew and absorbs instantly. Orange blossom opens with a fresh, slightly citrusy clarity. Rose immediately establishes itself with its precise floral sweetness. Gardenia adds a slightly creamy and enveloping dimension. And musk and vanilla conclude in a soft, very skin-close sweetness — a subtle and luminous floral trail, barely perceptible, that prepares and opens the skin to cream without ever dominating.

    The Rosa Gardenia Toner is for those who want their facial ritual to be complete — from cleansing to care, including this moment of floral freshness that prepares and awakens.

    Maison Diaphane's word

    An elegant floral freshness to enhance your daily skincare ritual. The Rosa Gardenia Toner is the missing piece of the complete Rosa Gardenia ritual — soap, toner, face cream, for those who want every step to be consistent. The absence of alcohol also makes it the ideal toner for sensitive skin that does not tolerate astringent or irritating formulas.

    Santa Maria Novella's Rosa Gardenia Toner is an alcohol-free facial toner in 250 ml — orange blossom, rose, gardenia, musk, and vanilla. A preparation from the Florentine officina founded in 1221. Available at Maison Diaphane, official retailer. Free delivery from 100 € (in France).

    Why an alcohol-free toner?

    Alcohol in toners is an irritant for sensitive or dry skin — it tightens pores and dries out the epidermis. An alcohol-free toner hydrates and prepares the skin without aggression or imbalance. This formulation is recommended for all skin types, and especially for those that react to classic astringent formulas.

    How to apply it?

    On a lightly soaked cotton pad or sprayed directly onto the face (depending on packaging) after cleansing, before moisturizing cream. Gently pat without rubbing to avoid irritation. Skin is immediately fresh, supple, and ready to receive the active ingredients of the next treatment.

    Can you build a complete Rosa Gardenia ritual?

    Yes — with this toner, the Rosa Gardenia Face Cream and the solid or liquid Rosa Gardenia Soap, the complete ritual covers washing, toning, and moisturizing in a coherent floral harmony. Santa Maria Novella is one of the few houses to offer such a complete range around the same signature.

    What is the difference with Acqua di Rose?

    Acqua di Rose is a pure floral water made from Damask rose — simpler, more concentrated in rose active ingredient, ideal for minimalist rituals. The Rosa Gardenia Toner is more complex — orange blossom, rose, gardenia, musk, vanilla — a richer accord that prepares the skin while further perfuming it. Both are complementary depending on olfactory temperament.
