Full description

Officina Profumo - Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella is a perfumery and cosmetics shop whose interior is as much of an attraction as its products.

Visitors are allowed to take photos, and reviewers say they walked in without a queue. It sits at an expensive price level, but works well as a cultural stop as well as a shopping one, with a typical visit of around 30 minutes.

This has got to be the coolest shopping experience I’ve ever had. Before you even walk in you see the beautiful window displays that are way bigger than normal window displays. Then u walk in to this old fancy building with porcelain and sculptures later out in every corner, beautiful ceilings and products played out…
