Angels of Florence by Santa Maria Novella

Year: 2006

While Angels of Florence remains a well-executed fruity-floral, there's also something unmistakably Christian Dior-ish about the whole affair.

Actually, it shares obvious olfactory parallels with two particular Christian Dior creations: J'Adore and Miss Dior Chérie. While it's impossible to deny that Angels of Florence is more natural and better blended, it's still a very disappointing and uninspired composition.

With a percentage of the sales profits going towards The Angels of Florence Foundation, which is committed to the restoration of Florentine monuments, one was expecting something a lot more memorable and unique.
