To complete this array of scents, the Assouline team worked on creating playful branding with vibrant colors and foil stamping. Each box is inspired by the series’ book covers, matching the palettes and individualized symbols specific to the series. The candles, featuring the motif of each destination, are housed in a ceramic beige-tinted vessel. All pieces in this collection seamlessly blend with any style of interior and act as a perfect addition to one’s library, pairing elegantly with Assouline titles. You are lately working on projects that are mostly focusing on worship and religion. Is that coming from an increased interest in spirituality, or are these areas clear indicators of authentic culture and make for great documentary photography themes? The pandemic effects in everybody’s lives are an undeniable fact, and Mykonians could not be an exception. On the other hand, they have proved their ability to adapt and deal successfully with all circumstances through the years. Thus while respecting, as much as possible, the new rules, Mykonos managed to offer great holidays to its visitors. By all times, the inland’s beauty remains untouchable.

At the core of this island’s unique character stands perhaps the mentality of its people since the beginning of time. How do you describe Mykonians and in what ways their special attitude contributed to a different development for Mykonos compared to other Greek islands? Your genre or specialization seems to be travel photography from the point of view of tradition, religion, and culture. Was “Mykonos Muse” somehow an exception to the rule? a href="http://www.marieclaire.co.uk/entertainment/books/mykonos-muse-598179" target="_blank">What makes a Mykonos muse?

The candles were created with the intention of going deeper into telling the story of six destinations: Mykonos, Tulum, Marrakech, Ibiza, Gstaad and the Moon. For each getaway, the Assouline family reflected on memories and personal associations that resulted in unique yet coordinated fragrances. Coffee table books are one of the cultural objects that at some point went from seeming unnecessary and unjustifiably expensive to being the symbolic measure of adulthood and self-actualization. Coffee table books aren't known for their literary appeal, after all. They're known for being beautiful—and for giving house guests hints as to the very serious stuff you're into in a very serious way. a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/photo-essays/2018-05-25/a-local-s-guide-to-the-best-of-mykonos-in-12-photos" target="_blank">A Local’s Guide to the Best of Mykonos, in 12 Photos, Bloomberg.com, May 2018 You are a Greek, traveling across continents and living between Athens and New York.

p> Travel To Ibiza, Tulum, And The Moon? Here’s How; By Shivani Vora, Forbes Online (USA), May 2023

Close your eyes, take a breath, and be transported. Where? To a warm sandy beach of Tulum, a bustling bar in the old town of Mykonos or an après-ski moment in front of a roaring fireplace in Gstaad. Located in the Cyclades and surrounded by the blue-green water of the Aegean sits whitewashed, windmill-strewn Mykonos, the island of the winds. This ancient island and those surrounding it, mythologized as the bodies of gods felled by Hercules in the time of antiquity, are older than legend and have played host to countless cultures for more than millennia. At forty-square-miles and boasting a population of only ten-thousand, the ‘Ibiza of Greece’ has become prized for gorgeous architecture, welcoming and open-minded locals, and fantastic beaches. With such names as ‘Paradise’ and ‘Super Paradise,’ the sands of these shores have captured the imaginations and hearts of industry titans, artists, and party-goers alike from all around the globe, marking it as a stable cosmopolitan destination and as a paramount it haven on the jet-set circuit.
