Stepping into this shop feels like stumbling into a magical apothecary

Bizzarri is a historic store that has been open since 1842. It sells a variety of natural ingredients, spices, essential oils, floral waters, as well as art supplies and laboratory equipment. The shop retains its 19th-century vintage decor, making it feel like you've stepped into a potions class. 🌿 The shopkeeper's English wasn't great (we were talking at cross purposes), but she was incredibly kind. Seeing my interest in fragrances, she even recommended some perfume oils. I chose Rosa Cristal, which costs €26 for 5cc. She applied a drop to my wrist—the scent was incredibly long-lasting! I could still smell it eight hours later, and it only got better over time, unlike some perfumes that turn sour. I ended up buying Jojoba oil, rose floral water (the shopkeeper said it can be added to tea!), and orange blossom water. 🌹 If you love vintage scents and natural spices, you have to visit this little shop.⭐ Bizzarri Opening Hours: Monday to Saturday 10:00–13:00 / 16:00–19:30 / Closed on Sundays #Italy #Florence #ShopExploration #CenturiesOldStore #NaturalSpices #BotanicalHydrosols #EssentialOils #Perfume #Travel #NichePerfume #TravelDiary #ItalianHandcraft #HiddenGem #Magic #VintageStyle #Artistic #Treasures #CrystineKohOriginal
