ARAGONA EDP

Aragona is a unisex eau de parfum by Ortigia Sicilia, the house founded by Sue Townsend and inspired by the island of Ortigia, the ancient heart of Syracuse, with fragrances signed by the Florentine master perfumer Lorenzo Villoresi. It is a soft floral powdery perfume, pure and alluring, that elegantly celebrates one of Sicily's signature fruits.

The Fragrance

Aragona belongs to Ortigia's floral collection and is born from the natural extracts of a fruit that in Sicily means tradition, celebration and pastry-making. Villoresi interprets it without excessive sweetness, as a creamy, luminous veil that recalls the atmosphere of the island's old pastry shops. The same fragrance is also available in Ortigia's bath and body line, to build a complete scented ritual.

How It Evolves on Skin

The opening is creamy and enveloping: Sicilian almond appears soft, almost velvety. In the heart, jasmine and ylang ylang add a sunny, sensual floral light. The drydown melts into delicate powdery notes, leaving a clean, intimate and comforting halo on the skin.

Who We Recommend Aragona To

We recommend Aragona to those who love powdery, creamy perfumes, elegant without ever being overpowering. It is perfect for every day, at the office as well as in your free time, and appeals to those looking for an intimate, comforting fragrance. Unisex, it wins people over with its measured sweetness.
