  • Details
    The Ancient Romans believed that scents were a direct connection between them & the gods, a way to communicate divinity & devotion. At a time when Rome was littered by the scents of garbage, defecation, & decay, they became obsessed with bathing rituals. They created architecturally lavish thermal bath rooms called Unctoriums, where bathing became a sort of festivity & entertainment that became a way of life for Ancient Romans, until Christian ideology became the dominant force. At these bathing events, gods were honored & celebrated, wine & food was passed around, & they enjoyed the luxuries of fine oils, clays, & floras to cleanse their bodies.

    This oil blend contains ingredients known for their fragrant quality & safe use on skin:

    ✨Organic Golden Jojoba Oil: (carrier oil base) is associated with healing, protection, & purification. Jojoba Oil is also a powerful skin cleanser & moisturizer that helps to balance skin oils.

    🍇Organic Grape Seed Oil: (carrier oil base) represents the grapes that were utilized for their medicinal, culinary, & fragrant qualities. Grape seed oil is also a non-greasy carrier oil for Sage application.

    Beyond my expectations! Will be back soon!


    Beautiful presentation, wonderful scent, luxurious feel. Used alone and with the clay both in the bath and as a sensual message. Worked perfectly both ways.


    Beautiful (and huge) bottle of fragrant oil. Very high quality and comes with a beautiful want to apply the oil. Highly recommended.
