AMBRA NERA BODY CREAM

Ambra Nera Body Cream is the body cream by Ortigia Sicilia, the house founded by Sue Townsend and inspired by the island of Ortigia, the ancient heart of Syracuse. It brings the house's most intense and sensual fragrance to the skin, in a light texture that moisturises and scents for a long time.

The Scent

Ambra Nera is Ortigia's warmest, most enveloping fragrance: an aroma of resins and spices resting on an amber base of labdanum, oakmoss and galbanum, enriched with vetiver and patchouli. A rich, warm scent. On the skin the cream leaves a delicate, lasting trail, designed to accompany your day and to pair with the Eau de Parfum of the same line.

Texture and Ingredients

A light, fresh cream enriched with lanolin, olive oil and almond oil: silky and highly perfumed, it sinks deep into the skin and is perfect for moisturising the body and hands. It is formulated without parabens or additives, in keeping with the philosophy of Ortigia, which makes its products together with small family-run companies and does not test them on animals. It is available in a handy 100 ml size and in a 300 ml size.

How to Use It

Apply a small amount to clean, dry skin and massage until fully absorbed: it is ideal all over the body after a shower, and also as a hand cream during the day. For a more intense, longer-lasting scent, apply it before the Eau de Parfum of the same fragrance.

Who We Recommend Ambra Nera Body Cream To

We recommend Ambra Nera Body Cream to those who love warm, enveloping scents and want to carry them into their body care too. It is perfect in the cooler seasons, as an evening ritual after the shower or as a base to make your favourite fragrance last longer.
