‘With a bittersweet heart of neroli essential oil, Italy is a bursting blend of citrus notes dominated by the Mediterranean freshness of Calabrian bergamot. Joyful, sparkling and timeless, Italy suggests the idea of ​​a carefree, casual, almost unaware elegance, fully representing the exuberant and seductive spirit of the country from which it takes its name. Citrus fruits are perfumes characterized by fresh and lively Mediterranean notes. The precious essential oils, primary ingredients of the fragrances of this family, are obtained by pressing the peel of fruits such as bergamot, lemon, mandarin, orange and grapefruit. The term citrus comes from Hesperides, the Greek nymphs who guarded the Garden of Golden Apples, mythological fruits capable of giving eternal youth to those who eat them.’ – Optico
