Morocco A Multi-Sensory Perfume Tour hosted by Moira Mevissen 7 May – 18 May 2018 | 12 days
Your tour host
Moira Mevissen is a
perfume enthusiast
with a wealth of
knowledge and a
passion for
fragrance.
Moira believes that a
fragrance is a
powerful expression of
who you are and can evoke memories which allow
you to travel through time.
Moira herself owns a ‘wardrobe’ of fragrances, and
selects them as she does clothes, both to reflect her
mood and occasion. ‘Paloma’ from Paloma Picasso is
her choice for business meetings, ‘First’ from Van Cleef
Arpels for spring picnics and white dresses, ‘Amouage
Honour’ to the opera, or her signature scent, ‘Angel’,
for everyday life.
With her passion and enthusiasm for scents and talent
for matching them to people and places, Moira is the
perfect tour host for this fragrant adventure through
Morocco.
