Amber sandalwood bar moulded as a flower beside olive and cream bars on limestone

Sandalwood & Vetiver

Grounding bar, evening ritual

₹420Incl. of all taxes

The heaviest bar we make, and the slowest — vetiver root has to be macerated for three weeks before it gives anything up. Sandalwood is farm-grown in Karnataka under the state licence, never wild-cut. Pressed in a brass flower mould that came out of a shuttered soap works in Kanpur, which is why the face carries a petal relief instead of our stamp.

The rest of it

Everything else worth knowing first.

1An evening bar. The vetiver settles as it dries down.
2Dense enough to outlast the others by a fortnight or so.
3The petal face wears flat first — this is expected, not a fault.

Worth the extra hundred rupees
Real sandalwood, and you can tell in the first ten seconds. It lasts longer than any other bar in the range as well, so the price per week is not far off the others.

My father used to smell like this
Bought it on a whim and it took me straight back. Have sent one to each of my brothers.

Hardest bar of the nine. Still a full palm of soap after two months of daily use.
