Ortigia products, anyone?

Anyone use Ortigia products - fragrances and bath stuff?

It looks a little pricey but seems gorgeous. I saw a load of it for the first time yesterday and bought the Orange Blossom perfume oil roller. I love it, it's an utterly gorgeous scent, complex and not too flowery.

So I'm wondering about the other fragrances such as Sicillian Lime and Fico D'India....they sound fabulous but are not too cheap to buy and I'd need to buy online without trying first (as I saw the range in London yesterday but am now back home miles away from nearest stockist).

So just curious as to whether anyone else has come across or uses anything in this range.

Link here for the curious - Ortigia

I was given a couple of products from this range, think it was florio and neroli honey, and tbh it was nothing special, I much prefer loccitane. From what I remember the smells were quite strong and sickly.

it's nice but it's more about the packaging than the products themselves - I reviewed one of their candles and bath creme, though wouldn't use them myself as their ingredients aren't very good.

I would prefer Dyptique personally :)

Ahh ok! I'll look into any alternative suggestions.

it also depends if you're talking more about the candles or the body products?
True Grace do amazing candles, as good as Dyptique and half the price

It was more the scents I suppose, as the little roller I bought is good and I was wondering what their pricier bottles of scent were like.

I'll take a look at those candle suggestions though. Cheers.
