Sandalia Luxury Collection

The niche collection, created by the maison Acqua di Sardegna, is named Sandalia. Seven refined formulations with exquisite bouquets, crafted by the finest master perfumers, pay homage to a land inhabited by fairies and giants, warriors and sailors — a guardian of precious treasures hidden in the depths of its ancient mountains. Like around a shimmering brazier, the myths and legends of the Sardinian people come to life through the scents of mastic and rockrose, saffron and fig leaves. The distant echo of a wise and courageous ancient civilization resonates within these fragrances, enclosed for you in a deluxe selection.

BETWEEN HISTORY AND MYTH

Compositions out of time.

Of all that exists, the last land to be created was Sardinia, born from a handful of rocks thrown by Zeus into the Mediterranean Sea and shaped like the imprint of his sandalwood. Since that time, many have docked on the island, leaving traces of their passage by depositing ancient traditions from other seas and other lands. Yet, none of them ever managed to truly conquer the civilization of the towers, the genuine heart of the Sardinians.

SANDALIA LUXURY

Sandalia takes you back in time, releasing the mysteries of ancestral rituals through unique fragrances. Othoca celebrates the peoples of the sea, while Karaly evokes the City of the Sun, crossed by distant civilizations. Miana, like a magical formula, brings forth the authentic spirit of the Nuragic people from the depths of the southern mines. The domus de janas, the fairy houses, appear with Coros and its olfactory notes gathered from the Mediterranean scrub. Following the trail of Lò, one can glimpse the roots of the Sardinian people and their culture. While Boeli speaks to us of an eternal dance, like the cycle of life, Nixias tells the heroic deeds of giants and the mythological pride of those inhabited by Sardinia and its scents.

SANDALIA SHARDANA

Ancient sources tell of warrior peoples who sailed the Great Sea to fight between the lands of the pharaohs and the rich cities to the east. Bas-reliefs show their armor, long swords, helmets adorned with horns. The chronicles have preserved their name: Qadèsh, Akethaton, Sirai, Ugarith, Honebu, and Daidalos. A breath of precious and delicate essences that evoke a distant time — cities and peoples who found their land on the island of Sardinia.
