What is Ortigia Sicilia and where is the brand from?

Ortigia Sicilia is an Italian fragrance and soap brand founded in 2006 by British entrepreneur Sue Townsend, named after the small island of Ortigia off Syracuse, Sicily. Its scents are built around Sicilian ingredients like citrus, almond and olive oil.

What types of products does Ortigia Sicilia make?

How do I use and store Ortigia Sicilia products?

Soaps and candles keep best away from direct sunlight and damp, which helps preserve both scent and colour. Candles should be trimmed before each burn for a cleaner flame. Our team can advise on a specific product in-store.

Ortigia Sicilia

Ortigia Sicilia perfume comes in the same scents as the candles and diffusers, so a Fico d'India roll-on, candle and diffuser all carry the same prickly pear note. That is a big part of why we stock Ortigia at Olivia Grace in Wetherby. One scent can carry a whole gift.

Zagara, Ambra Nera, Aragona and Florio sit alongside it, each with its own colour and print on the packaging. The perfumes are composed by Lorenzo Villoresi, the Florentine perfumer. Sue Townsend founded the brand in 2006 and named it after the small island of Ortigia off Syracuse.
