This is a unique shopping experience, the shop is also a museum to the history of the Santa Maria Novella perfumery. The air is permeated with the heady scents essential for polite company in the early 17th century when the monastery first started selling its potions to the public. The building part of the dominican monastery annexed to the Santa Maria Novella church is well worth the visit on its own and will take you back to another age. The soaps, try the pomegranate one redolent with ancient associations and the potpourri are a great memento of Florence and my personal favourite is the ladies body cream in a pretty glass bottle, it is as good as any modern day rival. You may be lucky enough to notice that some Florentine taxi drivers even use the pot pourri in their cars!

    Hidden in the path next to the New Notre Dame Church, it is said to be the world's oldest drug store. The entrance was quite low-key and could not be found at one time. Crossing a long corridor, it is officially entered the store. There are several rooms inside, which can be regarded as a unique cave. The whole environment is ancient and beautiful, with semi-circle vaults, wall carvings, thick wooden display cabinets, large crystal lights, dim lights, bringing a little mystery. In the evening, there are not many customers and they are choosing in each room. The store has a multi-language product list, there are Chinese, it is very convenient to show the clerk. The product is still quite rich, the ace product in the store, the marigold face cream, the test is easy to use.

    It took a long time to find it, because its storefront is too easy to ignore, did not expect the church drug makeup hidden in such a gorgeous place. The product here, bought is a price cute, a recipe safe, pure natural. There are really many Japanese and Taiwanese sisters snapping up.

    The New Virgin Church Spice Pharmacy, located in a small alley near the Virgin Church in downtown Florence, is a famous old pharmacy spice store in Europe, where you can buy perfumes and potions made from hundreds of years of formulations. A must-have gift to Florence.
