There are stories that never end.
They are passed on, they change, and they change us.
The legend of the origin of the Adriatic Sea is one of them—a story of Bura and Jugo, of Adria and Velebit, of love, loss, and the transformation that shaped the landscape as we know it today.
They say that Adria became the Adriatic Sea, and Velebit—the stone that watches over her. That the winds remained as a reminder of everything that once happened, yet never disappeared.
Even today, the Adriatic lives through its winds and moods—sometimes gentle and sparkling, sometimes strong and wild, and sometimes quiet and pensive. In those changes, every woman finds a part of herself.
Inspired by the legend of the transformation of the girl Adria into the Adriatic Sea, L’ADRIA Body Polish scrubs transform themselves upon use. They have a luxurious, creamy, granular balm texture, and upon contact with water, they turn into a rich milk that perfumes and intensely nourishes the skin. The formulas, with at least 92% ingredients of natural origin*, contain gentle yet effective exfoliating particles—a combination of sugar and Adriatic sea salt—as well as olive squalane that nourishes and renews the skin. The intensity of the exfoliation is easily adjustable: for more intense exfoliation, apply the scrub to dry skin, and for gentler exfoliation, apply it to damp skin. They are used after shower gel, as the final step of your shower care ritual, so that the nourishing, fragrant layer they leave behind is not rinsed off too much. After massaging, adding water turns them into a milk that can be rinsed off more or less, depending on the level of care you want to achieve. For a more intense nourishing effect, after showering, it is enough to gently pat the treated skin areas with a towel so as not to wipe away too much of the nourishing layer. After this use, the skin remains silky soft and nourished, as if you had already applied body lotion, and the fragrance lingers on it for a long time. The perfume scents, inspired by the Adriatic, tell the story of its winds and emotions—from the bright Maestral and the soothing Bonaca, to the introspective Jugo and the powerful Bura.
Embark on a fragrant journey across the Adriatic Sea with this nourishing care ritual. Which is your wind? Perhaps all of them.
