About This Fragrance
Fieno is a Santa Maria Novella eau de cologne inspired by the Tuscan countryside and freshly cut hay. The current official listing presents it as a 100 ml Aromatic Fougère. No individual perfumer is publicly credited, and although many references date it to 1886, the current product page does not foreground a launch year.
Scent Profile
Bergamot and Sicilian citrus open the fragrance. Rose, jasmine, myrtle, lavender, and star anise form a floral-aromatic heart, while sandalwood, vanilla, benzoin, and vetiver create the drydown. Hay is not listed as a literal note; instead, the structure builds an impression of pale soap, talc, dried herbs, wood, and an old Florentine apothecary.
Who It's For
Fieno suits people who enjoy lavender, soap, powder, dry herbs, restrained woods, and classical cologne structures. It works especially well in spring, early summer, and early autumn with white shirts, linen, reading, museums, quiet work, or a small application after bathing. Those seeking realistic pasture or strong projection should test the drydown on skin.
