Mattino Wax Candle

Considered the oldest pharmacy in the world, Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella was founded in 1221 as a Dominican friars convent when the friars were granted the use of a small church just outside the city walls where they cultivated a botanical garden of herbs and plants to craft medicines, ointments and balms.

Mattino, meaning morning, is the first in the Candele delle Ore collection, a series of four scented candles structured around the hours of the day: morning, midday, evening and night. Mattino opens with citrus and green notes, capturing fresh air and early light before the heat of the day builds.
