Traditions that celebrate women, rituals that nurture ones beauty inside and out, and exotic surroundings are just a few of the jewel-like qualities that caught my attention when I accidentally discovered La Sultane de Saba in the 8th arrondissement in Paris.Founded in 1995 by Vanessa Sitbon, La Sultane de Saba is a chic, bohemian day spa. Her philosophy includes the practice of beauty rituals from exotic cultures and the close bonds that develop between women when they experience these bathing rituals together.
Many of the celebrated products originate from the Hamman treatment that uses warm steam baths for detoxification, massage and relaxation. Others are formulated using authentic recipes that have been passed down the generations from mother to daughter.
Some of the most popular items are the Savon Noir, a eucalyptus purifying soap, shea butters, and scented body lotions that can also be worn as an alternative to perfume. If you love oriental notes, there are several fragrances (Amber, Ayurvedic, Jasmine, Orange Blossom, Karite des Iles, Loukoum, Sandalwood ...) that will captivate your senses. Also highly treasured are the scented candles that transform any interior to an exotic oasis.
