Algarve 1434 – Edge of the Known World

Where sun-drenched citrus meets the edge of the known world.

Bathed in southern light, the Algarve has long been shaped by the sea, by many civilizations, and by its fertile citrus groves. Long before Portugal’s great voyages, this coastal land stood at the edge of the known world, where explorers gathered courage and provisions before sailing into the unknown. Among those provisions were the region’s prized oranges, symbols of abundance, vitality, and home.

In 1434, the Algarve marked a turning point in history, when fear gave way to discovery and horizons expanded beyond maps and legends. This soap captures that moment of transition, blending the brightness of sun-ripened oranges with a fresh, uplifting character that reflects the confidence of those early journeys. It is a scent inspired by open skies, warm stone, and coastal breezes.

Handcrafted in Portugal, Algarve 1434 transforms a daily ritual into a moment of discovery. Its citrus-forward aroma refreshes the senses while honoring the land that helped launch the Age of Discovery. Part of the Golden Compass Collection, this soap invites you to follow the scent of the horizon—where history, nature, and craftsmanship meet
