You can also find mini tagines in the Souks, the Herboristes use them for display and to package some of their concoctions. Amassaffah gave me one that was lined with the dried tint of poppies to use as a lip stain. I have a set of mini tagines like these {see top shot} and use them as salt cellars in my kitchen and on the table.

This fellow had them in abundance, I bought a couple glazed in navy and just love them. Here’s how they work: the top is a little dish that holds a splash of water and a few drops of your favorite essential oil; light a tea light in the bottom section and within minutes your scent of choice will be wafting through your abode.

Simply brilliant.

The flickering candle showing through the cut out designs evokes thoughts of exotic nomadic tents in the desert on a starry night for me.

Here is a Navy Ceramic Oil Diffuser that’s similar to mine, and look at this chic little white oil burner from Rain, I also love this elegantly carved soapstone oil diffuser. These tea lights in a clear cup look much better than those in metal cups. There are many essential oils to choose from, I usually buy mine at Pharmaca but there plenty of on~line sources as well.  Right now I am burning this Jasmine Essential Oil, and the rich floral scent is absolutely dreamy, one of my other favorite’s is Geranium Essential Oil, I find it to be very uplifting, the scent of this Orange Blossom Oil reminds me of dinners we had beneath the citrus trees in Marrakech.

What are your favorite scents?
