To ask for your favourite 'Mediterranean' scented products?

Just that really.

Was having a slow walk this afternoon, and it was so hot that the pine trees had released lots of their volatile compounds. That smell, and the dry earth, and I was instantly transported back to a holiday in Spain (by the lighthouse, on the cliffs at Tossa De Mar).

Given the weather, and the extreme unlikeness of us going abroad for at least a year, I though it would be nice to have some Mediterranean scents throughout the house. I always think of rosemary, pine, lavender, lemon, olive oil as Mediterranean scents, although I love my Greek Frankincense and Rose face cream.

So, what products do you like? Could be toiletries, cleaning, candles.

Thank you!

Mine is the smell of sangria and stale vomit which transports me back to a bar in Marbella. How I long to be there again.

Body shop do an olive shower gel - could be what you're after! Lovely Mediterranean smell.

I can just imagine the tag line..."For that authentic holiday scent" Grin

Korres Santorini vine products smell like sunshine to me.

Santa Maria Novella pot pourri is made with herbs and flowers from the Tuscan hills:

I second Korres products, they are all lovely esp Bergamot Pear and Basil Lemon.

Anything with lemon verbena - l'Occitane is pricey but you can find other brands that are similar.

Provence soaps are great to tuck away in drawers and wardrobes.

I got some soaps from Seamuse soaps last time I was in Greece and loved them sooo much. I keep ordering them again and again.

Ocado sell a really amazing lemon verbena soap.

It comes in a two pack. It makes me smell of holidays.

Thank you for your ideas, there are some I'm definitely interested in not the vom and sangria combo
