Vaniglia / Vanilla - Acqua di Colonia

Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella's Vaniglia Cologne has a warm, sweet and oriental aroma. It is derived from the vanilla orchid, which is native to Central America. Reports say that its scent can reduce stress and promote positive feelings.

Reportedly, ancient cultures attributed it with aphrodisiac properties. The Aztecs created the Tlixochill beverage with cacao and vanilla, a pre-modern version of hot chocolate. Folklore says Montezuma offered Hernan Cortes a fragrant drink with vanilla, and it was later brought to Europe by him.
