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. Notte; meaning night; completes the Candele delle Ore collection; a series of four candles structured around the hours of the day: morning light; midday heat; evening warmth and night's depth. Notte draws on incense and dark woods; referencing aromatic materials burned in the convent of Santa Maria Novella during evening prayer and nocturnal ceremonies in the early Dominican tradition.
