Droguería del Arenal, Seville
What to buy here: Orange blossom perfume.
When the bitter Seville oranges are plucked from the thousands of trees around the city, the orange blossoms spread their intoxicating scent over the city. You can have it bottled up and take home the fragrance by purchasing orange blossom perfume, called agua de azahar. While this product is often used in baking and even, the small white flower is pressed and mixed with alcohol to leave a smell that can be likened to fresh laundry with a sprig of citrus, or just an afternoon roaming the streets of Seville during the springtime. Price: 14€ a bottle.
