Aleppo Soap Scent Brought My Mother to Tears

My mother received the soaps on time with the signature bag. I received a call from her in tears because she was in awe of the products. She said, “They smell just like home (Syria) and the bag is so beautiful, it’s exactly like the ones I’ve seen in Aleppo.” I told her that these products were made in Syria by local artisans which made her tear up even more.
