Orphea is a Swiss brand whose history began in the 1920s when inventor Johann Heinrich Bachmann developed a formula based on over four hundred plant extracts to naturally protect wool fabrics from insects. The name chosen for the brand refers to the mythological figure of Orpheus, a symbol of balance and harmony: the same qualities that Orphea seeks in its fragrances. Since the second half of the 1990s, thanks to an agreement with the Tavola Group — an Italian company specialized in home and personal care — the brand has found structured distribution in Italy, where Orphea Salvalana has become a market leader in fabric protection. Over time, the range has expanded to include home protection and personal protection, the latter based on the use of Citriodiol, a plant-based active ingredient extracted from Eucalyptus citriodora, introduced for the first time in Italy by Orphea as a natural alternative to traditional synthetic actives.
The 12 Orphea products available in the catalog cover the three historical areas of expertise of the brand: fabric care and protection (moth protection in sheets and dispensers, with fragrances of Flowers, Cedar, and Lavender), home protection from invasive insects — with pheromone solutions and insecticide-free traps — and personal protection, with a line of plant-based insect repellents designed for adults and children. To navigate the selection, it is useful to start from the intended use: fabric products are distinguished by format and duration of action; home products by the type of insect to be countered; personal products by formulation and usage profile (adults, children, pocket size). For any doubts about the suitability of a product for your situation, we invite you to consult the indications on the label and, if necessary, your trusted pharmacist.
