The remote north-eastern region of Thailand, with a predominately agricultural and tradition bound people still living close to nature, has recently revealed one of it's oldest secrets: Toob Moob.

This peculiar sounding name, meaning, "low lying and humbly prostrated" designates a local plant with an exquisite tiny white flower. Its bulb, leaves and roots are used to make a very special fragrance!

For centuries, the scent of Toob Moob has been known to induce happiness and harmony...

It's regularly been used in Thai temple ceremonies and for weddings to ensure family happiness and against bad luck.

The renowned Thai botanist, Dr. Pradit Kampermpool, spent four years experimenting with ways to make perfume from Toob Moob. The plant is grown organically and the perfume is naturally extracted, containing no artificial substances. It is suitable for both sexes.

The scent of Toob Moob calms agitated spirits, restless minds, and most of all, it heals rifts and lover's quarrels. Just a whiff, it's said, and your erring partner will be prostrate and repentant at your feet, quite "toob moob" indeed!

So, maybe, in these less than harmonious times, we could close our eyes and leave ourselves for a minute and follow this humble, gentle and delicious messenger from nature?
