Feeling fall approaching with full strength, fleeing south (by air or wings of imagination) is as natural as these five fragrances we brought along for our trip. Conveniently bottled in hand luggage friendly flacons.

Marrakech Intense by Aesop is an animalistic, colorful and spicy scent that brings us right back to the souks and surrounding desert of mythical Marrakech, with warming woody oriental notes from neroli, jasmine, sandalwood, cedarwood and bergamot.

Maharishi by Rich Hippie prepares the senses for a spiritually seductive se-jour, accompanied by a selection of India’s sacred flowers, such as devotional davana and the grounding grass of vetivert.

Dark Rain by Björk & Berries captures the feeling of Fall’s first forest walk, in a sensual, earthy and wet way. Citrus, amber and healing witch-hazel are the secret ingredients that brings out that certain Swedish je ne sais quoi.

Moon Bloom by Hiram Green is an ode to the tuberose, also called the mistress of the night, hence this tropical flower’s late blossoming hours. It’s a creamy soft scented sensation with a hint of exciting earthiness from fellow ingredients such as jasmine, ylang-ylang, coconut and resin.

Essence of Rose by Jurlique is brimful of the balancing and calming proprieties associated with the aroma therapeutical aspect of the rose. Add shea butter to the magical mix and we have a melting sensation, soothing for both body and mind.
