Description
In 1533, Renato Bianco created a fragrance of Italian citrus and aromatic plants for Caterina de’ Medici. Known as Acqua della Regina, or Queen’s Water, this accord has remained in continuous production at the Officina since. This scented candle carries its composition: Italian citrus, petitgrain, neroli, rosemary, clove, lavender and musk. Each candle is heat-stamped with the Officina monogram and finished by hand in gold. From the Firenze 1221 collection. Ø 7,5 cm H 7 cm
Place on a heat-resistant surface before lighting. On first use, allow the wax to melt evenly across the entire surface. Trim the wick to 3-5 mm before each use and keep it centred. Do not burn for more than three hours at a time. Extinguish with a candle snuffer. Never leave unattended, and do not move while lit or while the wax remains liquid.
Created in 1533 for the wedding of Caterina de' Medici to the future King of France.

1533
Acqua della Regina
Origin
Created in 1533 for Caterina de' Medici on the eve of her marriage to Henry, Duke of Orléans, the future Henry II of France. Her perfumer was Renato Bianco, raised by the Dominican friars at Santa Maria Novella.
Curiosity
Caterina arrived in Paris with Renato among her retinue. He established the city's first perfumery and was known there by the name the French gave him: René le Florentin.
Artifact
The perfumer Giorgio Ugo Stefani signed his labels with the inscription 'Fornitore di S.M. la Regina Madre d'Italia e della Casa Reale di Spagna', naming him supplier to the Italian and Spanish royal houses.
