Mandy Aftel is not your average artisanal perfumer. She is ranked in the top seven of natural perfume makers in the world by Forbes. She was recently invited to collaborate on a ‘multi-sensory’ project led by GOOGLE. Her nose has been appointed to recreate a perfume for a 2000 year old, Egyptian child mummy, and… Leonard Cohan asked her to create a signature perfume for him.

The Andalusia region of Spain is a cultural feast with its rich history of Arabic rule very evident in the architecture, food, lifestyle and Flamenco!

making global SENSE

Meeting a foreign place for the first time totally awakens the senses. wandering for hours and getting lost in the definition of everything that surrounds, until eyes hurt, bellies are full, feet need rest, minds are gasping and hearts are bursting with content.

for lasting travel memories we indulge in traditional sensory experiences.

(Cultural workshops, produce, cuisine, dance, music, beauty and more…)
