Ortigia Sicilia has been making soap, candles and fragrance inspired by the island of Ortigia off Syracuse since 2006, founded by British entrepreneur Sue Townsend after she fell for the place on a trip to Sicily. Every scent is built from ingredients that actually grow there: citrus, almond, olive. We hand-pick the range each season for Olivia Grace Fashion in Wetherby.
We stock Ortigia because the packaging alone makes it a gift people remember, before you even get to how good the soap smells.
Soaps and hand creams are the range's heart, alongside scented candles, diffusers and body care, all finished with the brand's distinctive Sicilian motifs and colour. Perfumes are composed by Lorenzo Villoresi, one of Italy's best-known noses.
If you want a gift that doesn't need much explaining, a beautifully packaged Ortigia soap or candle rarely misses.
