Harissa & L'Occitane

Christmas is a holiday of light, joy, warmth and family gatherings. Christmas holidays are also a time when we celebrate, when we give gifts to our loved ones and when we enjoy the finest delicacies. Christmas also has its own smells and aromas that are an inseparable part of it - vanilla, cinnamon, the smell of gingerbread, and roasted almonds that the whole house smells like. Cookies are baked, and grandmother's old recipes are taken out, already somewhat faded, but irreplaceable.

But every year, we are happy to add something new to the usual lineup, which almost always consists of vanilla rolls, London bars, krancleki, lincers and some other classics. We at Harissa followed the same idea when we created this year's joint Christmas story in collaboration with the legendary French cosmetic brand L'Occitane.

We have enriched their holiday gift sets with specially designed teas whose aromas accompany the fragrant creations of L'Occitane luxurious care products that this year smell warm like turmeric and soft like chestnuts. Thus, Christmas Symphony Harissa tea brings the aromas of baked apples and juicy berries that will perfectly complement the notes of green leaves, apple blossoms and the delicate aroma of chestnuts in a set that captivates with its freshness and brilliance. Holiday Hugs tea is inspired by the Golden Milk collection and complements the sparkling warmth of turmeric, notes of orange citrus and a sensually soft mimosa.

And in order for this whole gourmet story to be complete at the holiday table, for L'Occitane, with the help of our selected spices and aromas, we have also created exclusive recipes for the finest and most fragrant Christmas cookies and biscuits, which are also inspired by the scents from the holiday collections of this favorite cosmetic brand.

Scented with vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon, our baked chestnut cookies will surprise your guests and family members with their warm and delicate aroma and texture, while the finest Christmas cookies with turmeric - yellow and crunchy, with a slightly lemony aroma, will add a little something to the gray winter days desired warmth and optimism.
