Comoros

The island nation where the beaches are so beautiful, you'll forget about the poverty and corruption.

Comoros: Where the scent of spices wafts through the air, but so does the smell of gasoline and sewage.

Comoros: A place where the French, Arab, and African influences blend together in a delicious culinary stew, but also where the traffic is a spicy mess.

Comoros is the world's largest producer of ylang-ylang, a fragrant flower used in perfumes like Chanel No. 5.

The islands are known as the "Perfume Islands" due to the abundance of aromatic plants.
