Single Soap

Choose from five evocative scents:

• Aragona: a sweet, powdery almond fragrance.

• Fico d'India: fresh fig and cedar inspired by Sicily’s iconic cactus plants.

• Florio: a clean, breezy blend of Sicilian spring flowers.

• Bergamot: distinctly green and strong, derived from the crushed leaves and zest of the bergamot orange tree (Citrus Aurantium Amara Bergamia).
