Ortigia Sicilia Sandalo Eau de Parfum 100ml

Ortigia Sicilia Sandalo Eau de Parfum 100ml is a rich, complex, and sophisticated fragrance that captures the essence of exotic sandalwood, harmonized with delicate floral notes and earthy undertones. This luxurious perfume blends the warm, woody aroma of sandalwood with floral and green accords, resulting in an elegant and timeless scent.

At its heart, the fragrance showcases sandalwood (sourced from the essential oil of the sandal tree), renowned for its deep, creamy, and slightly sweet woody scent. Sandalwood’s smooth and calming fragrance has been prized in perfumery for centuries, often used to evoke a sense of serenity and sophistication. In Ortigia Sicilia Sandalo, sandalwood is complemented by a bouquet of other luxurious notes that enhance its complexity.

The fragrance opens with the floral sweetness of narcissus, whose green and almost narcotic character adds an intriguing contrast to the woodiness. Rose and jasmine follow, bringing soft, romantic nuances that imbue the perfume with a floral heart. The lush, dewy quality of jasmine and the classic, powdery essence of rose blend harmoniously with the sandalwood, adding depth and warmth. Cedar and teak woods are also present, contributing a dry, slightly resinous quality that adds texture and longevity to the fragrance, while vetiver adds an earthy, green note with smoky undertones, creating a perfect balance between the woody and floral elements.

The history of sandalwood traces back to ancient times, where it was considered sacred in many cultures and used in rituals, as well as in perfumery and cosmetics. Highly valued for its meditative and soothing properties, sandalwood has been used in Indian, Middle Eastern, and Chinese traditions for millennia. In perfumery, it is cherished for its ability to anchor fragrances and provide a lasting, calming warmth.

Ortigia Sicilia, a brand inspired by the rich culture and natural beauty of Sicily, brings this storied ingredient to life in its Sandalo Eau de Parfum, blending the age-old appeal of sandalwood with modern elegance. This results in a fragrance that is both grounding and sophisticated, perfect for those seeking a luxurious and timeless scent with depth and character.
