Lara Takahashi grew up surrounded by the specialty of his father, a fashion designer and his former mother. “Santa Maria Novella” is one of them. Brand items that have been familiar since childhood are still in use even now at the age of 18. After enjoying the scent with each hand, take a break at STARBUCKS COFFEE. We finished PARCO CRUISE with sweets.

An item with fragrance derived from natural herbs,
Heals your feelings and body.
Santa Maria Novella was born 400 years ago in Florence, Italy as the oldest pharmacy in the world. Based on the concept of natural healing and preventive medicine, products using natural herbs range from body care items to food. First of all, the interior of the store where you can see the Audecolum bar is a space that combines classic and modern. "The Shibuya PARCO store is on the fashion floor, right? When I saw it from the escalator, I wanted to enter it unintentionally," says Lara. He seems to be excited about shopping with his favorite brand.
Inspired by the body powder chosen by my parents,
I still like the gentle scent.
Lara and Santa Maria Novella have been dating since she was a baby. "When I asked my parents, they seemed to have used this body powder when I was little. In my parents' house, there was also a variety of fragrance objects made of terracotta. Every item is naturally derived, so it's kind and easy to use, so it's still a favorite." While saying that, Lara picked up the items from the store and checked the smell one by one.
I can't travel now, that's why
I want to travel around the world with fragrance while staying at home
Lara, who enjoyed the scent, paid attention to room fragrances that express five continents with five scents. "I like <Diffuser Africa>. I like the smell of mango because I feel at the resort,” he says, “I use mango and shakuyak for middle notes and green notes of sap for the top, so I feel fresh. "I like traveling, but I can't do it now, so I want to refresh my mind with fragrance."

"I thought it was nice to find this bath salt a few years ago when I was traveling, but it was from Santa Maria Novella," I happily picked up a bath salt with a pomegranate scent. He has also used aodecolon and standard rose water. "I didn't know there was chocolate," Lara found chocolate ratini using traditional herbs for a limited time. Santa Maria Novella's items will heal people from inside and outside.
