Ibiza Island capital Ibiza is one of the oldest European cities. It was founded by Carthaginians in 654 B.C. At the beginning it was a fortress of a high strategic importance and later it became the capital of Pituses – the Pine Trees Islands.

The old city of Ibiza is called Dalt Villa. It is formed of 7 bastions surrounded by stone walls. The walls were built in order to protect the city from intrusion of the North African pirates. They were shielding the romantic inner city, beautiful streets, squares and the cathedral, today visited by thousands of tourists who are coming to enjoy the historical atmosphere. The streets are long and winding and form a small but real antique labyrinth of walls, encircled by the new city centre. Since 1992 this small ancient town is under the protection of UNESCO.

It is interesting to mention that the Persian and Lebanese traders were coming to Dalt Villa to trade cedar oil with Egyptians. Mediterranean history, climate and the spirit of inhabitants still make this part of the world very special, and many find the inspiration for their art here.

The spectacular sites are breathtaking and one of the interesting and special views is the view of El Vedra, one of the three magnetic centers of the world (beside the Bermuda Triangle and the North Pole), which can be seen from the Ibiza Island.

Ibiza is also a shopping paradise. There are many interesting shops, and even on-line jewelry shops such as ANAHI - Elegancia del Bohemio. One of them is also Campos de Ibiza, a fragrant spa.

Perfume house Campos de Ibiza was established in 1980 and its name means 'the fields of Ibiza'. It represents the honor and appreciation of this island and its eternal elegance. Campos de Ibiza is inspired with the Mediterranean landscape and its scents, and their pleasant and elegant fragrances are made of the finest ingredients found in the islands. The fragrances, named Higo, Cedro, Mandarina, Jazmin and Agua de Rosas can be purchased at the Campos de Ibiza store in the Island.

Cedro is aromatic-woody fragrance for men composed of basil notes blended with luminous citruses – bergamot, lemon and grapefruit in the top notes. Middle notes dominate with the spicy cinnamon and ginger accords, while the base notes bring in warm sandalwood and sensual light musk.

The Ibiza Island, or the White Island, is known for jasmine (or in Persian 'white flower') bloom the fragrance of which stays imprinted in the memories of all those that visit the island. The symbolism of the White Island and White Flower is of a great importance for the creator of this fragrance.

Jazmin is a floral fragrance for women composed of light and luminous bergamot and galbanum notes, followed by pure and intensive jasmine, ylang-ylang, rose, gardenia, and tuberose in the heart, while the trace reveals sandalwood, light moss and ambergris.
