WEB PICK - recommended by Go-Provence, July 2009.

Blissfully infused with true lavender essence distilled from organic lavandul officinalis and lavanda vera, the indigenous signature scent of a Mediterranean summer. This fragranced and richly lavender coloured candle is hand-made by small family companies for Ortigia, a boutique Italian scent and accessories company in Sicily. All Ortigia products are formulated using plants and flowers indigenous to the island and are based on natural, traditional perfumes and ingredients. The range is inspired by the aesthetics, colours and scents of Italy's most historic and tropical region. The highly decorative packaging draws on exotic Sicilian images and colours. Light for an instant hit of sun-ripening lavender fields - you could almost be on holiday!
