Stock Up On Incomparable Perfume At The Boboli Perfume Fair

If you are a perfume lover, Florence has an annual event that you will not want to miss, the Boboli Perfume Fair.

Florence is already a destination to go for highly unique cosmetics and perfumes due to one of the world's oldest active pharmacies being located in Santa Maria Novella which is still popular and continues to produce perfumes and remedies. Still located on-site, the pharmacy now also has branches in New York, Los Angeles and Tokyo and much is still made by hand. If you have stocked up on queen-approved cosmetics in Santa Maria Novella then you should head to the Boboli Perfume Fair.

Just find a luxury villa in Florence and treat yourself, and your nose, to a magic experience this May.

The Boboli Perfume fair is an event where thousands of people from all over come together to smell some of the most incredible floral displays and shows and, most importantly, some of the most unique fragrances out there. Vendors set up stalls in different locations on the extensive grounds of the Boboli Gardens each year for a very special market that sells very special fragrances.

As well as scents and fragrances, you can also pick up candles, soaps, perfumed oils and essences, herbal teas, spices, cosmetics, natural fabrics and much more. Seeing people choose herbs and flowers to use for their fragrances is quite a unique experience and will make you feel as though you've been transported back into times gone by.

Once you have paid into the gardens themselves, the fair is free to enter and a visit to both would make for a relaxed and very lovely day out in Florence. Your entry fee will also get you into Palazzo Pitti’s Silver Museum, Porcelain Museum and Costume Museum.

First stroll through the lush greenery, beautiful plants, extravagant fountains and beautiful statues, take in the views and then find the perfect one-off memento to bring home and show off. This yearly exhibition of the Florentine art of perfume is a magical event and well-worth a visit for anyone. If you are a serious beauty or perfume lover, it really is a must as it allows you to admire the raw materials artisans turn into fragrances and speak with their makers.

This special fair in Tuscany may not have the madness and excitement of other festivals in the region but it is a rather special event which promises a new experience.
