The primary note of cactus flower delivers a delicate, clean floral aroma that feels green and invigorating, reminiscent of desert blooms. This is complemented by the sweet, juicy scent of fig, adding a hint of earthiness and warmth. Finally, cedarrounds out the fragrance with its dry, woody undertones, providing depth and balance to the overall scent. Together, these elements create a unique fragrance that is fresh, uplifting, and evocative of the Mediterranean.

The history of Fico d’India (prickly pear cactus) in Sicily is deeply rooted in the island’s agricultural and cultural heritage. Brought to the region by Spanish explorers in the 16th century, the plant thrives in Sicily’s hot, arid climate, becoming a symbol of resilience and beauty in the local landscape. Its fruit and flowers have been celebrated for centuries, both for their health benefits and their distinctive fragrance.

Ortigia Sicilia’s Fico d'India Bath Oil captures this tradition, offering a sensory experience that brings the fresh, natural aromas of Sicily into the bath, while also nourishing and rejuvenating the skin.
