Set in the frescoed halls of the Santa Maria Novella friary, the Officina has made fragrances, balms and herbal remedies on monastic formulas since 1221, opening to the public in 1612. Carved Gothic cabinets, a 13th-century chapel and crystal chandeliers make the flagship a boutique-museum as much as a shop. Florence's most singular retail experience.
