Santa Maria Novella
This Italian soap apothecary label that was founded in Medieval times launched its Australian outlet just as Sydney went into lockdown. But it is certainly worth finding now things have reopened for its exquisitely old-world collection of Florentine soaps and lotions and gorgeously European feel (the bunches of white flowers are astonishing in themselves).
12-16 Glenmore Rd
Located next door to Santa Maria Novella, the French candle brand Trudon (established 1643) is a high-end European house of scent that’s worth the visit just to stand in the astonishing blue-and-black space and feel enveloped by pure luxury. Beautiful. The scents are so powerful you can smell them across the road.
Bondi Wash’s Belinda Everingham teamed up with perfumer Samuel Gravan to create three incredible scents that power this new natural perfume store. Taking their strength from Australian botanicals, the fragrances capture the essence of Australia in a bottle in this beautiful showroom.
