Sikelia, wear the authentic soul of Sicily
Article writteb by MontenapoleoneGlam

Sicilians and from the love of their land comes Sikelia, a line of perfumes that tells of a land of Myths and Mythologies, Novels and Poetry. Shapes and Colors that encapsulate symbolic meanings.
Sikelia's products come from craftsmanship, such as the stoppers created by Caltagirone artists or the packaging inspired by the iconic Sicilian pine cones

The project is the brainchild of designer Salvo Scarpaci, who sparingly selects raw materials and is overwhelmed by creativity, passion, professionalism and tradition. Each spray of Sikelia is a journey to the Pearl of the Mediterranean, its beauties, riches and mysteries.
Today we tell you about the 3 fragrances we fell most in love with.
Nikos, the sea on your skin
Close your eyes. The essence of pine, sage and seawater intoxicate your senses.
With a single spray you feel like you can feel the sweetness of the sun, the rustle of the sea and the cool breeze of Capo d'Orlando beach.
Nikos is inspired by the legend of Colapesce, which tells of a young Sicilian man who has an extraordinary ability to swim like a fish and dive to great depths. One day King Frederick II asked him to explore the Sicilian seabed, and in doing so Cola discovered that one of the three columns that supported Sicily was damaged and that the island was in danger of sinking.
To save his land, Colapesce decided to sacrifice himself: he remained forever on the seabed, holding up the missing column.
Nikos is for all those with a strong, enterprising spirit, with a determined character, able to face any challenge with the courage and resilience that inspire the legend of Colapesce.
Atma, burning like Mount Etna
The soot in the hair, the warm breath of the earth, and the fiery embrace of lava are Atma. Savor the accord of smoke, black pepper, incense and dried ambers.
This fragrance is inspired by the fiery breath legend about how Enceladus, a rebel against the Olympian gods, was defeated and trapped under Mount Etna by Zeus. Enceladus, a prisoner in the depths of the mountain, periodically flails about trying to free himself, and his fiery breath escapes through the volcano in the form of lava and smoke.
A spray of Atma resurrects the wayward giant, spirituality, and feeling, and makes one breathe again.
Indeed, this fragrance is for those who are overwhelmed by passion and possess a bold and rebellious spirit.
Triskelè, the cure for spirit, mind and body
Triskelè is as fresh as freshly picked Mediterranean rosemary, like orange leaves, patchouli, and wine.
This perfume is inspired by the three main cultures that colonized Sicily: Roman, Greek, and Arab.
The legend of Triskelè tells of the three Sicilian nymphs, Calypso, Anapos, and Trinàcria, who wished to protect their land from foreign invasion. To accomplish this, they turned to the gods who transformed them into the symbol of Trinacria - Sicily. The three nymphs became the three corners of the island.
This symbol, called Triskelè, represents the strength, unity and beauty of Sicily, supported in balance by the three nymphs placed to defend its integrity.
Those who choose Triskelè have a magnetic and authentic personality, are independent, resilient and proud of their origins, Triskelè suits those who are looking for a fragrance that expresses inner strength, passion and timeless beauty.
Nikos, Atma and Triskelè are also candles
