Details:

The assortment in this gift box features a selection of nine soaps of the Deco range. Blended with shea oil, these colorful soaps draw on the dramatic designs that first made Claus Porto’s name in the early 20th Century. Voga, Alface, Favorito, Elite, Banho, Ilyria, Chypre, Deco and Cerina are the soaps presented in this coffret.

Voga’s fragrance balances fruity freshness with understated acacia and sweet tuberose. A pinch of powdery musk adds a gentle afterglow. A captivating feminine scent.

Alface’s youthful and sunny fragrance will awaken your senses and subtly perfume your skin. Its joyful fragrance combines fresh orange blossom with velvety almond, wrapped around a radiant heart of white rose and jasmine.

Favorito’s unique fragrance combines juicy red berries and crisp green leaves, with the delicate scent of fresh-cut roses, warmed by a powerful pinch of pepper and patchouli. Cheery as a bright summer day.

Elite’s luscious fragrance will sooth your senses, while leaving your skin subtly scented. This refined and captivating fragrance blends the citrus notes of bergamot and mandarin, a heart of mellow wood, and touches of musk and powdery amber.

Banho’s revitalizing and zesty fragrance will give you an energizing boost and will exhilarate your senses. Deliciously fresh, this breezy fragrance is a stimulating citrus feast of lemon, orange, mandarin, verbena and basil, given added depth with musk and hints of vanilla.

Ilyria’s floral harmony will warm your senses while delicately cleansing and perfuming your skin. The fragrance is a blend of lemon and orange blossom, with mellow honeysuckle and exotic jasmine to create a fusion that’s sweet and refreshing.

Chypre’s distinctive fragrance merges tangy blackcurrant, lychee and mandarin with forest notes from cedarwood and oak moss. Delicate jasmine and red rose add a touch of refinement to this Orientally inspired scent. Comforting as a warm fireplace on a winter’s night.

Deco’s fresh forest fragrance blends notes of galbanum and cypress with a woody composition of pine, eucalyptus and balsamic elemi. It’s rounded off with a piquant touch of juniper and cedar. As bracing as an early morning forest walk.

Cerina’s woody, polished scent is strongly inspired by Portugal’s rugged coast. Notes of pine needle and sea moss, are embraced by the breezy sweetness of delicate white flowers. The result is as refreshing as a spritz of fresh saltwater.

Barnacle Love, Paperback, By Anthony De Sa

Shortlisted for the 2008 Scotiabank Giller Prize

Like Wayson Choy and David Bezmozgis before him, Anthony De Sa captures, in stories brimming with life, the innocent dreams and bitter disappointments of the immigrant experience.

At the heart of this collection of intimately linked stories is the relationship between a father and his son. A young fisherman washes up nearly dead on the shores of Newfoundland. It is Manuel Rebelo who has tried to escape the suffocating smallness of his Portuguese village and the crushing weight of his mother’s expectations to build a future for himself in a terra nova. Manuel struggles to shed the traditions of a village frozen in time and to silence the brutal voice of Maria Theresa da Conceicao Rebelo, but embracing the promise of his adopted land is not as simple as he had hoped.

Manuel’s son, Antonio, is born into Toronto’s little Portugal, a world of colourful houses and labyrinthine back alleys. In the Rebelo home the Church looms large, men and women inhabit sharply divided space, pigs are slaughtered in the garage, and a family lives in the shadow cast by a father’s failures. Most days Antonio and his friends take to their bikes, pushing the boundaries of their neighbourhood street by street, but when they finally break through to the city beyond they confront dangers of a new sort.

Push for Happy: An Interactive Emotional Awareness + Regulation Children's Book

Push for Happy is an interactive emotional intelligence, awareness, and regulation book. It prompts children to label feelings, emotional triggers, and to put themselves into the storybook along the way. Children create their own character, drawing out body scans, by illustrating how they experience the feeling and where they feel it in their body. Children draw their triggers while thinking about how to regulate their emotions and considering the characters’ experiences.

This book was created by Tania DaSilva, a child, and youth therapist, it allows children to create a one-of-a-kind storybook, making themselves one of the main characters! It follows four friends throughout their day and their emotional ups and downs, the biggest lesson being emotions aren’t permanent and awareness helps us regulate. 

From celebrated author Anthony De Sa comes a raw and compelling novel of love, war and the heartbreaking effects of memory.

"'You must listen to my words. You must promise to tell my story the way I have shared it with you.'"

Tanzania, 1956. A Maasai woman gives birth to a child with albinism. The child is seen as a curse upon her tribe, and so begins Pó's tumultuous story. As Pó navigates the world, she must claim her life in the face of violence and ostracism.

Further south, in Portuguese-controlled Mozambique, Ezequiel struggles for acceptance too. Adopted by missionaries, he is not recognized by his Portuguese father's community, or by his Makonde mother's tribe. When civil war erupts, he must choose who to fight for and who to leave behind.

Pó and Zeca come together in a time of momentous change. Love connects these two outsiders, forcing them to confront the shattering impact of colonialism and war. Children of the Moon is a stunning and unforgettable exploration of the love of two people at once bound and separated by forces beyond their control.

A masterwork about backcountry life by one of Brazil's most celebrated novelists.

Paulo Honório is a sometime field hand who has kicked and clawed and schemed his way to prosperity, becoming master of the decrepit estate São Bernardo, where once upon a time he toiled. He is ruthless in his exploitation of his fellow man, but when he makes a match with a fine young woman, he is surprised to discover that this latest acquisition, as he sees it, may be somewhat harder to handle. It is in Paulo Honório’s own rough-hewn voice that the great Brazilian writer Graciliano Ramos, often compared to William Faulkner, tells this gritty and dryly funny story of triumph and comeuppance, a tour de force of the writer’s art that is beautifully captured in Padma Viswanathan’s new translation.
