ZAGARA EDP

Zagara 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 luminous, aromatic citrus floral, fresh as a cologne but built with the depth of an eau de parfum.

The Fragrance

Zagara belongs to Ortigia's citrus collection and is the scent that takes you back to Sicily's orange groves in spring, when the blossom fills the air with an unmistakable fragrance. Villoresi made it more complex than a simple citrus, balancing the sweetness of the flowers with an aromatic, woody structure. 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 lively and aromatic: neroli and petitgrain bring a green, luminous freshness. In the heart, orange blossom blooms, soft, pure and slightly soapy. The drydown settles on elegant woody notes, which give structure to the composition and leave a clean, sunny trail on the skin.

Who We Recommend Zagara To

We recommend Zagara to those who love citrus and floral perfumes, fresh yet refined. It is perfect in spring and summer, for daytime, the office and seaside holidays. Unisex, it is ideal for those who want a luminous fragrance that evokes the Mediterranean.
