Mazaher, orange blossom water
The petals of the 🌸SAKURA might be fleeting, but we’re staying in a spring mood with 🍊MAZAHER, the season when orange trees grow white scented flowers and infuse the air with the exhilarating smell of orange blossom. Mazaher means orange blossom water in arabic. Made from the distillation of white flowers from bitter orange trees, Mazaher was first promoted with the invention of the alembic during the Umayyad caliphate and rapidly became widespread thereafter.
Our 🍊MAZAHER🍊curation includes large glossy and chunky pre-owned citrine rings recalling the orange trees of Monnot Street in Achrafieh, as well as a special incorporated blue topaz ring named after Paul Eluard’s surrealist poem « la Terre est bleue comme une orange ». You’ll also find eccentric necklaces made with pearls, citrine or peridot fine stones, charming nano gem princess necklaces and delicate white gold branch earrings with beads of peridot and rose quartz.
“La terre est bleue comme une orange…”
L’Amour, la Poésie, Paul Eluard
For this new ENTITRE edition, we’re taking you on an urban scent walk to Monnot Street in Beirut, where the world feels like one big orange. Surrounded by orange trees, we’ll explore the history of Mazaher - sweet orange blossom water and learn about the properties of sunny and zesty citrine gemstones.
