Petrichor Soap Brick

Let it Rain.

On January 1st every year we celebrate Petrichor:  the smell of the earth after a rain.
Petrichor is caused by microbes in the soil interacting with warm rain and it’s intoxicated people for as long as the rains have been falling.

The scent carries with it a type of raw, primal power. The sky has just taken a bath, the old, the sloughed-off, the no longer necessary have all been washed away.

Our petrichor Soap Bricks are individually made with Kelp, Eucalyptus, Myrrh, and Vetiver, mixed slowly into a base of nourishing Olive Oil and Babassu Oil.

We make them once a year, and they sell out quickly. Wash away what no longer serves you.

Flamingo Estate is my home and garden. But it’s more than that, too. It’s the story of a lush orchard and pleasure garden on a California hillside overlooking Los Angeles, and the many hands that have helped tend it. It’s a philosophy that champions slow ways and ancient practices. It’s a quest for intimacy — between plants and people, body and spirit, heaven and earth.

Run under water and lather onto wet hands and body. Rinse thoroughly.
