Ortigia: the Heart of Sicily in Fragrances, Ambient Fragrances and Niche Products

Ortigia, a small island off the coast of Syracuse, one of Sicily's most picturesque cities. During one of her travels, Sue Townsend, the brand's founder, landed on this beautiful island and fell in love with this unique land. Greeks, Phoenicians, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Normans, Staufi, Angevins, Aragons and Bourbons are the peoples who have contributed to Sicily's beauty, and the creator of Ortigia Sicilia knows it well. She thus createda brand thattells the essence, colours and fragrances of this island in a collection of niche products for the body and home, from perfumes to creams, soaps, diffusers and iconic candles: Ortigia.
