so why, one might wonder, does the CAIRO Eau de Parfum come in a soft, calico pouch? pretty unconventional for perfume packaging, no? 👀.

it is actually a very intentional homage to my time in Egypt... exploring the beguiling jewellery shops nestled in the amber glow of the market bazaars—collecting gleaming pieces of silver like treasure... ✨.

and some of the jewellery merchants would package their jewellery in delicate, ‘dust’ pouches such as these, emblazoned with their simple, yet striking, logos. i still have them to this day, and they have served as inspirations of beauty and nostalgia for the CAIRO design.

if you were to peep into my life, you’d see that my jewellery is stored in pouches like these... organised into daily wear jewellery, gold pieces, special occasion necklaces, etc. storing them this way also means they are literally ready to grab-and-go when i am off travelling or going away for the weekend. i love this system, as i am not one to muck about 😅.

so this jewellery pouch serves as an ‘extra’ gift, to you, of goodwill and prosperity—a gift that has nothing to do with perfume, and EVERYTHING to do with beauty and sensuality (of which fragrance is so intrinsically linked) 🪷.

and i hope it serves you well. to safeguard, and protect with care—your own treasures, whatever they may be ✨🪬✨

hello autumnal friends 🍂 checking in from beneath the pines to let you know about a new feature on my website!

as my dear customers know, every order receives a complimentary tea sample made by moi 🫖.

however, now at checkout you get to select which kind of tea blend is calling you! choose from my sleep tea or digestive tea, or if you don’t need help in either of those departments tick option 3 ‘custom blend’ and tell me what kinda tea you could really do with right now ✅.

this could be an immunity or stress-relieving tea, skin purifying tea, focus/brain cognition tea or just a good ol’ tea formulated for nothing other than pure, delicious enjoyment! ask and you shall receive my friends 🪄

this is just a small way i can share my knowledge of herbs, and invite you to discover the multitudes of ways herbs can support us in our daily lives through simple rituals such as tea.

on the topic of tea, as the weather continues to cool, now is the time to set aside cold drinks/water in favour of hot beverages and hot/warm water. as our bodies are in a constant state of constriction due to the cool temperatures, drinking warm or hot liquids really helps to keep the digestive fire burning so we can better process and metabolise the fats, carbs and proteins we consume 🔥. during cool seasons i carry my insulated water bottle everywhere filled with either hot herbal tea or hot water (just cooled enough to drink immediately).

sending warmth and cheer 🍁🍄🍁
