With a deeply rich and warn amber scent — translucent and generously perfumed olive oil based soap served on an iconic Ambra Nera etched plate.

With a deeply rich and warm scent – Ortigia Ambra Nera “might be the holy grail of ambers” with patchouli & vetiver on a base of resin, spice woods & labdanum.

Labdanum gives the musky scent to Ambra Nera and is an alternative to Ambergris in perfumery. It is the sticky resin extracted from rockrose or cistus shrubs and is the basis of incense. Cistus Clusii grows across the western Mediterrnean including in Sicily. Cistus plants generally have been used for their perfume since ancient times and labdanum is mentioned twice in Old Testament. Originally the legs of goats and sheep were combed to extract the resin that had been ‘gathered’ during grazing. At some point a Labdanistrion (in greek), a special rake-like tool was invented for collecting the resin. It features two rows of woolen ‘teeth’ that the resin sticks to which can then be extracted from the wool. It has been argued that Scepter of Osiris, or flail as it is often described, as depicted in ancient Egypt was a Labdanistrion. In modern times extraction methods have changed somewhat with the foliage being bolied up to generate the resin while the emitted steam is distilled to obtain the essential oil. Across history Labdanum has been used as a herbal medical treatment for colds, coughs and rheumatism. Labdanum has also been used in cookery but it’s not that common. Fancy trying some cookies made with labdanum ? Click on this link to find out more.
Patchouli is bushy herb and a member of the mint family which is found across much of tropical Asia and more recently it is grown in the Carribbean.
Vetiver is a fragrant member of the grass family grown widely in Asia.
