Van De Zotte: The Dutch Soul in a Bottle

MILLS: The spicy warmth of clove and cinnamon evokes the Zaan region's old windmills, once the Dutch trade engines.
POLDER: A green, fresh fragrance reflects the tranquillity of the lowlands, a testament to Dutch ingenuity and resilience.
WAD: Salty and briny, this scent captures the spirit of the Wadden Sea, where tides and time dance in harmony.
WILD: Earthy and rugged, it evokes the untamed beauty of the Veluwe forests.
