Alaffia shea butter is from central Tongo. Originally I wanted to buy the unscented shea butter, but accidentally I ordered the lavender/mint -spearmint- one.
And I didn't regret it! It reminds me of the smell of a spa:) You know, when you enter into the spa, this is exactly the same smell. I am an esthetician and I got used to this smell through the years.(But it's a strong smell, so if you don't like the lavender/mint smell together, then choose the unscented one.) And the weird thing is, I can't smell the smokey kind of shea butter smell, although my family told me it smells like forest or wet bark/wood chips. (But for some reason I couldn't smell it.) Anyways: I like this lavender/mint smell.
