Our world

A family story shaped by ritual, memory and the enduring beauty of handmade objects.
Beauty Born From the Orient
The story of Senteurs d’Orient begins with our founder, Hana, who wished to share the exquisite beauty and rich soap-making history of Lebanon with the world. Raised in Tokyo and making her home in Beirut, Hana sought to honor the bathing rituals of the Orient. Through our artisan-made soaps, everyone can experience the treasured scents and traditional craftsmanship of the region she loves.
“My inspiration was to create products infused by the spirit of the Orient, and reflect the multiple ‘beauty of the Easts’ cultures so close to my heart” - Hana
Combining Artisanship with Authentic Lifestyle
In the heart of the oldest soap-making region of the world, Senteurs d’Orient aimed to create the finest handcrafted soap, fusing Japanese sophistication and Middle Eastern sensuality with the most indulgent and precious fragrances.
“Now, I am sharing her story with the world- fusing my vision with her creation” - Sarah
Led by Women, Empowering Women
Sharing the same passions, Hana’s daughter, Sarah, joined the company to expand her mother’s story with her fresh vision and continue their commitment to social responsibility. Named a U.N. Women “Champion for Change,” Senteurs d’Orient is dedicated to helping educate and empower women in Lebanon.
