Our gift sets do not carry names chosen at random. Each one pays tribute to Aleppo, the city in northern Syria where the soap we love so much was born. Here is a short journey behind the labels.
“Souvenir d’Alep” — a memory of Aleppo
This set lives up to its name: it brings together soaps faithful to the tradition of Aleppo, that multi-millennial city which was one of the great trading crossroads of the East. Giving this set means passing on a piece of that history, a hint of authenticity that travels through the centuries.
“Vieux Alep” — old Aleppo
The name evokes the ancient city of Aleppo, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Its alleys, covered souks and citadel have seen generations of soap makers. This set is a nod to that historic heart, where Aleppo soap built its worldwide reputation.
More than a gift, a story
Choosing one of our sets means offering a natural and useful product, but also telling a story: the resilience of a city, an ancestral know-how, and the simple pleasure of a real soap. A sure way to please, for a birthday, a celebration or Christmas.
A natural, useful and lasting gift
Beyond the names, what makes our sets valuable is their contents: real Aleppo soaps, made from olive oil and laurel berry oil, with no synthetic fragrance or colourant. So you give a product that will truly be used, day after day, rather than an object that ends up at the back of a drawer.
It is also a gift that makes sense at a time when many people want to consume better. Natural, biodegradable, suitable even for sensitive skin, Aleppo soap ticks the boxes of a present that is both beautiful and responsible. And since a bar lasts a long time, the pleasure continues for weeks.
For a birth, a thank-you, a Mother’s Day or simply to introduce this soap to someone you love, a “Souvenir d’Alep” or “Vieux Alep” set tells a story of transmission and authenticity that few gifts can.
How to choose your set
To choose between our two sets, follow the person you are giving it to. “Souvenir d’Alep” will appeal to those discovering Aleppo soap who love beautiful objects to give. “Vieux Alep” will speak more to lovers of tradition and history, charmed by the nod to the old city. In both cases, you offer a gentle soap, suitable for the whole family, and a piece of the history of Aleppo. Think of it too for the end-of-year holidays: a set can be prepared and wrapped without last-minute stress.
