Magnolia Grandiflora is a grandiose evergreen tree whose traces can be found also in the prehistoric era. It questions our notion of time with its unusual ability to pass through times, to adapt to different environments, and to preserve its one-of-a-kind individuality. A rare talent that reminds of Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella’s own history. An awe-inspiring exemplar of Magnolia Grandiflora also graces the facade of Villa Medici di Castello: this species arrived in Florence in the 18th century, and it was soon grown in the Medici's family possessions.
