Linéaire B Cosmetics
Flowery descriptions in French effusively promise therapeutic effects from organic local ingredients and superconcentrated essential oils here. Basics such as savon noir (black soap) cost three times what they might in the Rahba Qedima, but the speciality items are worth the premium: rich argan oil balm scented with jasmine, after-sun lotion with Barbary figs and healing herbs, facial masks with white mud from Fez and geranium-flower essence.

Cabinet Populaire
Stop and taste the rosewater, anoint yourself with healing essential oils and, on hot days, kindly Sidi Aboubida will pour a little cooling orange-flower water on your head. This is a full-service Berber pharmacy and cosmetics counter, with roots, powders and lotions in folk-art packaging for any conceivable complaint, from spots to shyness. Prices are set, and very popular indeed.

Les Parfums Du Soleil
Those tantalizing Marrakshi garden scents have been blended and bottled by ethnobotanist Abderrazzak Benchaabane, whose fragrances are drawn from native flora and inspired by Berber aromatherapy principles. Soir de Marrakesh is a sultry stroll through a night-blooming garden, while Mogador brings a coastal breeze with traces of argan oil, Kaffir lime and cedar.

Pharmacie Koutoubia
All the essentials you forgot to bring are here, plus fragrant Nectarôme skin- and hair-care products from the organic gardens in nearby Ourika Valley. If you're not feeling your best, just tell the sharp young pharmacist what's wrong - she'll point out the best pharmaceutical or homeopathic cures for what ails you.
