‘A place of pilgrimage and celebration, located at over 2,500 metres in altitude, the Christian city of Lalibela in Ethiopia is shrouded in mystery. Legend has it that angels came down from heaven to build its twelve churches, hewn from the rock, in a single night, in the 12th century. Lalibela is the scent of joyous fervour. The fragrance includes rose, frankincense and patchouli among its ingredients, its own way of prolonging the mystical moment.’ – Memo Paris
