We cannot not start from the oldest pharmacy in Europe. The opening to the public of the pharmacy attached to the Dominican convent dates back to 1612, but it is from 1221 that the friars, just settled in Florence, began to study the properties of the herbs grown in the garden of the convent and to prepare medicines. It is of their herbs and their knowledge that Renè Le Florentin, perfumer to Catherine de' Medici, was used to create the Acqua della Regina, the fragrance that conquered the entire French court when Catherine went to Paris to marry Henry II of Valois. Medical remedies are no more, but the ancient fresh and citrusy bouquet, today Acqua di Santa Maria Novella, together with other perfumes, cosmetics, the iconic pot pourri in a silk bag and much more, have become world famous products.
