Nostalgic, golden-sweet floral

Angeli di Firenze (Angels of Florence) is a sweet, soapy floral mélange of jasmine and rose that creates a golden aura around the wearer. Angeli di Firenze spikes the buttery, floral heart with a juicy apple shampoo note, giving it a fun, youthful vibe that I quite like. My positive reaction to Angeli, in fairness, is probably due to a nice memory it conjures up for me than the actual smell itself. Specifically, Angeli reminds me strongly of J'Adore by Dior, immediately taking me back to my days of living in Belgrade, when I exclusively wore that scent.

My job at the time was to travel around the Balkans, often on local buses, trying to sweet talk donors into giving us more money, a job I was really terrible at. I was only really at the office in Belgrade once or twice a week before heading off on my lonely travels, but I remember that I never felt welcome there, or part of the team. However, the receptionist at the front desk, a beautiful Serb girl with the highest heels I have ever seen on anyone, would always take the time to stop me and say, 'You smell sooooo beautiful'.

The day I handed in my notice, I walked up to the receptionist, handed her the rest of my big bottle of J'Adore, kissed her and told her that she had made my life in Belgrade bearable. I remember that her eyes filled up with tears, which embarrassed me because I suddenly understood I could have made her this happy earlier. Why hadn't I just handed over the bottle to her the first time she complimented me on it? I never wore J'Adore again.

Summery, flowery, marine scent.

This scent is incredibly similar to Il Sentiero degli Déi minus the pool float accord. It's a pretty delicate citrus and white flower scent that has some marine notes which, probably due to the acerbic quality of the black currant, turn a bit funky on me. This is why it's so important to try everything on your skin before writing a review or blog post, and most importantly before making a purchase: on paper and in the tester pod at the Santa Maria Novella store, this is absolutely incredible and potent; on my skin, performance leaves a lot to be desired, and the scent evolution does not resemble the perfume on paper at all.

If you're lucky to have a different pH than I do, this could be a pretty, delicate, unisex summer cologne.

Fresh, Clean & Unique

This is not something I’d usually go for but I really love it. I also love the history behind Santa Maria Novella.

In 1966, Florence suffered heavy rainfall causing the Arno River to flood the city. This resulted in everything being covered in thick mud. Volunteers from across Europe flocked to Florence, risking their lives to help rescue important art, artefacts, and to clean up the city. They were aptly named the “Mud Angels”. Angeli Di Firenze was created in their memory.

This is the perfect spring or summer fragrance. The peach and orange notes combined actually give the impression of a juicy cantaloupe or honeydew melon. This is refreshing, light, clean, and crisp. It’s sweet, but not too sweet. I find this really very unique. I’ve never smelt anything like it. This doesn’t smell like a marine scent to me either, and I honestly can’t pick out a single one of the listed notes. I don’t get any woodiness, musk or powder in this fragrance. I’ve had my bottle a year and it hasn’t changed either. All I smell is this gorgeous, light, fresh, sweet melon. While I do find most of their scents very soapy, I don’t get any kind of soap from this. It’s just a great feminine freshie!

I’d say ignore the notes because if you like melon scents (but the jolly rancher watermelon in Wavechild was too much for you, like it was for me) this is a brilliant option! It was a successful blind buy for me, and one I’ll definitely continue to repurchase in the future. I absolutely adore this scent!

Very delicate and fresh fragrance

This fragrance by Santa Maria Novella is by far the most beautiful fragrance. I ordered the sample box with eight different fragrances and two free fragrances because I wanted to test the Rosa Gardenia fragrance Of all these fragrances, Angeli Di Firenze was my favorite. This fragrance is so light and fresh and just smells clean. I wish the perfume house would also produce EdTs, as I am unfortunately not entirely satisfied with the longevity of the EdC.
Nevertheless, I would like to buy a whole bottle and the Angeli di Firenze body lotion. The fragrance is perfect for everyday wear. Perfect for the summer as a light fragrance that doesn't immediately knock you out.
