Sean and I lived in Morocco for nearly 2 years when our two oldest kids were just babies. It was so difficult when we finally had to say goodbye to that incredible place. For anyone that has been, you know the scents are one of the most potent allures of this storied land. When I smell this scent, I am transported back to the hidden riads, among the souk. The sensory magic found within the meandering maze of the medina, where we were always -always! - offered sweet mint tea.  - Em

Abd El Kader: Moroccan Mint Tea

A gust of freedom blowing from the Mascara coast and the mountains picks up on its way the green scents of fresh mint, the rashness of fights, ginger’s hot and peppered air and the perfume of tea and tobacco from the Ouled Nail tribe.

Cire Trudon is best known as the world’s oldest candlemaker still active today. Founded by the Trudon family, it has provided candles to France’s cathedrals and nobility since 1643. Most famously, the Trudons supplied all the candles of Versailles on a daily basis, serving the Sun King, Louis XIV, during his reign.

The Paris-based company maintains a serious cult following. Fans rave about the keen attention to craft - the manually poured wax, the precise fragrance formulas, the gorgeous glass vessels handmade in Italy. The quality throughout is unparalleled.
