A clean white mineral base with grey-mineral undertone, and dendritic salt to carry the scent.

Mediterranean salt is one of the purest sea salts — clean, white, mineral. Dead Sea salt brings its characteristic grey depth without the pink warmth of Himalayan. Together they read as cool and still. There is no sweetness in this base. That's intentional — the earthiness belongs to the clay and the woods, not the salt.

French green clay

Illite — a naturally occurring mineral clay with a faint olive-green color, formed in ancient seabeds.

French green clay has been used in therapeutic bathing and skin care for centuries, valued for its drawing and mineralizing properties. In this blend it does something subtler — it tints the salt base the faintest olive-green, creating a visual coherence with the green aventurine stones and the cedarwood-dominant scent. The mineral family runs through every layer of this jar: clay, stone, wood, water. Everything here is from the earth.

Jasmine

Jasminum sambac — a climbing flower native to South and Southeast Asia, one of the most revered plants in perfumery and ritual for thousands of years.

Jasmine has been offered at temples, woven into garlands, and used in ceremony across India, Southeast Asia, and the Arab world since antiquity. It carries extraordinary weight in a small amount. In this blend, dried jasmine buds form the primary botanical — pale ivory, quiet against the green-tinged salt. Their job is to anchor the scent promise visually: you see jasmine, you understand what kind of bath this is going to be.

Calendula

Calendula officinalis — the pot marigold, warm amber-gold, cultivated as a healing plant across Europe and the Mediterranean for centuries.

Calendula is one of the most well-documented skin-soothing plants in Western herbal tradition. Its petals dry into warm gold and hold their color reliably. In the jar they thread warmth through the cooler ivory and green — a gold thread through an earthy field. In the water, they tint the bath with a warm olive-gold depth. Cool green under warm gold. Depth without competition.

A whole dried chrysanthemum

Chrysanthemum morifolium — pale yellow to ivory, placed whole and intact above the botanical field.

Chrysanthemum has been cultivated in China for over two thousand years, revered in East Asian culture as a symbol of quiet endurance and the beauty of the late season. The whole dried head is placed above the salt — not mixed in. It may begin to open in the water. That unfolding is intentional. It is a small model of what this bath is for.

The scent blend

Seven plants — cedarwood, ho wood, amyris, palmarosa, ylang ylang, frankincense, and a trace of jasmine absolute — carried in a plant-derived base.

There are no top notes here. The blend opens quietly and stays that way. Cedarwood leads — dry, structural, the scent of old-growth forests and pencil shavings and something older than both. Ho wood and amyris extend that woody base with creamy warmth, giving it body without sweetness. Palmarosa lifts a rose-green brightness above the base — not floral exactly, more like the memory of a garden in late summer. Ylang ylang brings a floral presence that hovers at the edge of the blend; it is kept intentionally low because it can tip quickly into excess, and this blend has no room for excess. Frankincense sits in the foundation as a resinous anchor. The trace of jasmine absolute arrives last, in the dry-down — a quiet floral depth that you may not name but will feel. This is immersion. The bath becomes the air.

Clear quartz

One of the most common minerals on earth, and one of the most consistently kept close.

Clear quartz catches light even in a blend this quiet. It gives the hands something to return to when the mind wants to drift back to the surface.

Amazonite

A blue-green variety of feldspar, its color shaped by trace amounts of lead and water over millions of years. Named for the Amazon river, though it's found far beyond it.

Amazonite has been found in ancient Egyptian tombs and pre-Columbian South American sites — it has been kept close by humans for a very long time, across cultures with no contact with each other. It shares its mineral family with the French green clay in this jar. Teal-green stone, green clay, green aventurine — the same earth, different forms. It is the color of still water over moss.

Green aventurine

A form of quartz with fuchsite mica inclusions that give it its distinctive green shimmer.

Green aventurine completes the mineral triangle in this jar alongside amazonite and clear quartz. It has been associated in many traditions with calm, openness, and the capacity to receive — all qualities that belong to this stage of the arc. In the bath, the green stones, the olive-tinted salt, and the warm calendula gold create a depth of color that looks like something the earth made on purpose.
