Corsica: Where to Shop: Beauty: Mandragora

Mandragora

Located right next to the church in Oletta village, a few minute’s drive from the Hotel Ladimora, this newly opened shop carries a fragrant array of unusual soaps produced with wild island herbs or products. Pick up a few bars scented with myrtle, rosemary, cédrat, ewe’s milk and l’immortelle, an evergreen plant known for its antiaging properties. Owner Maria del Carmen, a botany buff, manufactures everything on the premises.
