As a delightfully evocative household fragrance, JAN SCHOON suggests using orange blossom water. It reminds him of his holidays in Sicily where the orange trees flower in spring and early summer and spread the most magnificent scent. JAN particularly recommends the orange blossom water from OFFICINA PROFUMO-FARMACEUTICA DI SANTA MARIA NOVELLA in Florence. “It’s still made using the original recipe, created hundreds of years ago,” he says. “It can be used as a refreshing bath oil, a linen rinse for fresh sheets, or even as a fragrant addition to a homemade cake.” Amazing!
