You can travel this summer to five unique and exotic destinations only applying your sense of smell. The Tocca Voyage Home collection was crafted with the scents of Montauk (salt air + cucumber), Capri (grapefruit + melon), Valencia (orange blossom +bergamot), Bora Bora (vanilla +jasmine) and Marrakesh (patchouli + amber). Aromatic spices and very unique ingredients from each area were carefully selected to create five exclusive hand lotions, soaps and candles.
My personal favorite is Marrakesh. I love strong fragrances, especially during the summer time because they last and evolve with time. Created by mixing green petitgrain, blackcurrant, pepperwood, patchouli, Moroccan leather and amber, Marrakesh Voyage Home Collection from Tocca will turn your bathroom into a royal palace.
