Othoca Eau de Parfum

Othoca is a ramble through ancient ruins surrounded by aromatic shrubs infused with saltiness. It pays homage to the most important aspect of Sardinia: the sea water that encircles it. The portrayal of the waves appearing on the symbol, as can be seen on prehistoric vases and on the carpets which still today continue to be hand- woven, represents the salvation of souls. The fragrance is dedicated to Othoca, a Phoenician town now flanked by a lagoon but which once upon a time overlooked a large navigable gulf." - a note from the brand.

Othoca by Acqua di Sardegna is a Aromatic Fougere fragrance for women and men. This is a new fragrance. Othoca was launched in 2017. Top notes are bergamot, red thyme and marjoram; middle notes are juniper, lavender and costus; base notes are patchouli, vetiver, amber and cedar.

The mystical folktales portray Sardinia’s formation, explaining that God, after creating the world and having some rocks and a little clay left over, threw everything into the sea and trampled it with his foot. The land took on a resemblance to the sole of his shoe, a sandal, and the name Sandalia, from the Latin Sandaliotis – meaning sandal-shaped – became the ancient name of Sardinia.

An intrigue is aroused by the elegant silk-covered casket containing a dramatic, sensual bottle in shiny black glass reminiscent of obsidian, the volcanic rock found abundantly in Sardinia. The cap, inspired by a pebble rounded smooth by the undertow, adds an organic element to this sculptural vessel.

Sandalia is a unique fragrance collection inspired by the island of Sardinia, rich in legends that have been passed down through the mists of time, and still today retain their fascination.
