Aromas of Portugal as a souvenir

What to bring back from Portugal as a souvenir of your trip? It can be filigree jewelry and delicious canned fish in creative packaging. But not only...

The list can be completed with cosmetics and fragrances made in Portugal.... For example, hand cream, shower and hand gel, soap, sachets, room fragrances, scented candles, toilet water by Castelbel.

The packaging or shape of the soap is very creative.

For example, there is a soap sachet in the form of “Viana's heart”, the main element of Portuguese filigree (first foto). 

Or a soap specially designed with lemon extract to eliminate persistent odors from hands after cooking is made in the shape of a sardine and can be hung over the sink! ⠀

This is a 100% Portuguese brand, with a factory just north of Porto, in the city of Maia. The name of the brand reflects the location of the factory (near the castle in Maia) and the area of beauty products or “beleza” em Portuguese. Castel+bel.

Also, they have the "Portus Cale" collection. Stylish packaging, variety of fragrances. There is also a line for men “Black Edition”, based on citrus and wood.

In the photo below is the “Ruby Red” line with grape and red berry aromas. The packaging for this line is reminiscent of wooden boxes for port and Portuguese wines.
