This essence was made with the help of Momodou, a good friend of ours. This huge orange tree (with very shady leaves and delicious fruit) sits squarely in the middle of Momodou’s family compound. I couldn’t think of a better way to honour this tree than to make an essence.

As there was no way I could reach the flowers, the bowl of water was set beneath the tree.
