In 1995, I happened to be on the film set of PORTRAIT OF A LADY in Lucca, Italy. We were making dinner plans with one of the cast members, and shared our intent to spend the day in Florence. Nicole Kidman was nearby and happened to hear us, and asked if we were by any chance going to visit the "Farmacia di Santa Mario Novella"? We followed her enthusiastic recommendation, and I've been shopping at the FdSMN since, gradually changing my products to only theirs. They are simply that singular and without peer. So, dissatisfied with all the pricey shampoos I've been using, I returned to Santa Maria Novella and find myself converted, yet again. I chose the Iris Shampoo, which leaves my hair soft, full, buoyant, clean and bathed in a discrete yet unforgettable fragrance. Santa Maria Novella dominates my home products, personal products, and accessories - and have made me the most popular of gift-givers among family and friends!
