Winter? we don't know her.

We may be smack bang in the middle of an Australian winter (and still living that #iso life), but there’s no reason you can’t embrace the carefree spirit of an Italian summer without leaving home. How? With scent, of course.

You may already know that fragrance is highly emotive. Just think of a time you were, ahem, intrigued by a partner’s perfume or cologne. It’s also been linked to memory, meaning aromas can trigger your brain to remember past events. (Which is why choc-chip cookies might remind you of your Gran’s baking.) Haven’t visited the land of art, food and fashion? There’s no better tool than scent to create an inspired-by ambience.

Introducing the Glasshouse Fragrances answer to holidaying in Italy: Lost In Amalfi, Passion In Positano and Forever Florence. All of these scents capture the vibrant essence of Italy but, like the cities they’re named for, each has its own charm.

LOST IN AMALFI

Think: Sun and seaspray. Impressions of crystal clear water and zesty Limoncello come from freesia, lime and moss. It’s fresh and herbal thanks to thyme and tarragon, with a splash of sweetness care of earthy patchouli. A bestseller, the Lost In Amalfi scent is available to enjoy in both our Home and Personal Fragrance collections.

PASSION IN POSITANO

Recently re-released from the Glasshouse Fragrances vault due to overwhelming customer demand, Passion In Positano is a fresh and bracing scent that evokes the romance of the Italian coast. Vibrant verbena mingles with mandarin, basil and lime to create a citrus bouquet that’s reminiscent of afternoons spent overlooking the water with a Spritz cocktail in hand. Passion In Positano is currently available in our 380g Triple Scented Soy Candle.
