In the middle, marine notes are sweetened with black currant and illuminated by jasmine. On the bottom note, musk and sandalwood are accompanied by an elegant vanilla note.

SANTA MARIA NOVELLA ANGELS OF FLORENCE (ANGELI DI FIRENZE) REVIEWS
Fragrantica: "Opens on skin with the most refreshing burst of jasmine and melon, crisp, juicy, and delicately sweet without veering into screechy calone territory (bless). The melon here is natural, mouthwatering, and airy, mingling with a luminous jasmine that feels bright but not cloying—no headiness, no ylang-ylang in sight, immensely thankfully. The fragrance later shifts into a soft interplay of peach, iris, and vanilla, oscillating between a creamy, powdery elegance and a fruity, sunlit warmth. This peach in question is ripe and golden, never artificial or syrupy, while the iris lends a whisper of velvety sophistication. The vanilla is more of a supporting note, adding a subtle sweet smoothness rather than turning this into a full-blown gourmand. Seriously a pretty girl, charming scent which balances freshness, sweetness, and warmth with the most grace I've ever seen. It’s wearable, joyful, and surprisingly nuanced, proving that fruity florals don’t have to be juvenile or overwhelming—here they are cleanly polished, pastel yet radiant, and absolutely absolutely lovely."
Fragrantica: "Like the brush of an angel’s wings: charming, airy, delicate, and almost imperceptible. An exceptionally gentle, almost ethereal composition with a subtly sweet fruity opening. A safe and classic fruity-floral feminine fragrance. So far, the most delicate Santa Maria Novella perfume I’ve experienced."
Fragrantica: "Such a light and lovely frag, my favorite of the discovery set! it’s fruity and fresh and powdery all at the same time thanks to notes of melon, jasmine, and iris. the sweetness from the vanilla base and peach really peeks through and blends together in a harmony of floral musky sugary goodness. Beautiful!"
Fragrantica: "Truly angelic fragrance, I love it on first sniff. Surrounded by commertial perfumes in the shop, this one was an apparition. Testing it in Florence, I gladly enjoy its spirit there. The opening is very airy and clean. Ozonic, but not masculine. Like a flowery breeze. Jasmine and cyclamen very well combined, ylang-ylang just sweet -without beeing dark. The melon adds a bit watery note, with peach juicy and tasteful. I like the iris: not too powdery, but elegant. Base is comforting. Vanilla doesn't overcharge the previous notes, just calm down with beautiful woody aroma. This is a perfume for cultivate lady with gentle temper, smart but carefree, free-spirited. This scent gives wings to fly..."
Fragrantica: "When the initial burst of melon fades a little, a timeless, fragile, tender beauty emerges. I usually dislike melon note, but paired with iris and jasmine here it smells ethereal and clean. Softly powdery, angelic white floral with some aquatic fruity nuances, that are not actually too juicy or sweet."
