VIA DEI MILLE | Zagara Eau de Parfum
Regular price $275.00 $275.00In Sicily, at the south of Siracusa, in spring, millions of orange, lemon and mandarin flowers, locally called zagara, start to bloom.
The scent of zagara is a rather changing fragrance. At sunrise the smell is almost watery, tenuous, thin, still impregnated with the humidity of the earth. Then, in the morning light, it starts to become fresh, sparkling, brighter. As the sun warms up the petals of the flowers, the aroma releases sweet, just barely honey-like, warm and enveloping notes. In the flowering plains, the perfume is soon everywhere, inebriating to the point of becoming an image, an intimate memory that you would like to carry with you forever. ZAGARA, through an accord that goes from the freshness of citrus to the warmth of deeper materials, such as the tonka bean and patchouli, renders the olfactory evolution of a scent that mutates with the light and the heat of the day: fresh, pungent at the beginning then warmer and warmer, smooth, velvety, finally completely enveloping.eau de parfum ~ neroli

VIA DEI MILLE | Mandorlo
Regular price $275.00 $275.00Try to close your eyes and imagine an infinite land of white almond trees in bloom: just a light wind… and an endless rain of petals whitens the earth up to the horizon.
MANDORLO is an ode to spring. A luminous scent with predominant sweet notes of an almond just barely spicy, becoming creamy, radiant, velvety over time. Elegantly enriched of ylang ylang, lily of the valley, iris and musk, MANDORLO is a scent that exalts the sweetness and delicacy of the almond to the extreme of refinement.

VIA DEI MILLE | Dolce Kaos Eau de Parfum
Regular price $275.00 $275.00Dolce Kaos. Two different worlds in a physical, olfactory exchange; two opposite worlds that converge in a place called Kaos.
The idea of ‘sweet chaos’ stems from a short circuit of thoughts that brings together a phrase by the Sicilian writer Luigi Pirandello, a famous film by the Taviani brothers and a real but mythical place in Sicily called Kaos. DOLCE KAOS evokes a Sicilian landscape of land and sea, a countryside blazed and cracked by the August sun, an intense light where all is yellow and rust, a place of stillness where time is marked by the rasp of invisible cicadas. The air is heavy with wild herbs, dry straw and arid hay; the scent of thyme, and of carobs blackened by the burning sun.
But the sea talks to the dry land and the cracked earth is soothed by a soft, salty breeze. There’s a dream of blue light, of drying seaweed on black lava rocks. A mirage under the summer sun, a fusion of land and sea, the intoxication of DOLCE KAOS.

Regular price $240.00 $240.00“Sometimes we think we know who we are,
but if we don’t stop to check in on ourselves every now and then,
we can lose sight of that person .”
Raffaella Grissa, an Italian, is inspired by her time working in Asia. The WA in WA:IT meaning harmony, and the IT referring to her homeland.
Nature inspires us and gives us wonderful notes. While HITO evaporates it transcends the common heart of pure human spirit experience. Raffaella describes HITO as "a perfume that heals the soul".
Created to reflect the expression of the soul with a melody composed of aromatic notes, HITO is blended together harmoniously in order to elevate the spirit and free the mind, promoting a meditative state while raising your vital tone.
This unisex eau de parfum, created by Angela Laganà, blends Italian ingredients such as Sicilian orange and lemon with Japanese ingredients like yuzu and Izumi black tea.
Bringing Raffaella's concept of a 100% natural perfume to life, Angela combined perfumery and aromatherapy, using only naturals oils and essences with a therapeutic effect.

SOLAZUL HANDMADE | Urrao Single Thread Handwoven Crossbody
Regular price $299.95 Sale price $179.95 $179.95To make this traditional handcrafted crocheted bag can take more than one month of work. The bags are all 100% handmade by the indigenous artisans of the Wayuu community of the La Guajira Peninsula, Colombia.
Single Thread bags are made with a much finer cotton thread. They take longer to weave than the double thread bags and have a tighter structure, yet still, evoke the handwoven look. This results in a beautiful bag unlike anything machine-made.
Sol Azul Handmade is the brainchild of social entrepreneur Rosanna Redondo. Like many talented women, Rosanna started Sol Azul handmade as a COVID project when she was visiting Colombia during the lockdown.
She works closely with the Wayuu women near her own childhood home and adds her sophisticated eye for detail to develop some truly beautiful and totally wearable cultural fashion pieces.
Every single bag is different and unique and is easy to recognise for its colours and intricate designs.
