GhantaBalm1: Three Sages

I am so excited to introduce the GhantaBalms, our solid perfumes.

Here we have the Three Sages: salvia officialis from Greece, s.apania from Mexico, and s.aetheopis from Africa. Plus a drop or two from a secret garden that guides sage into new terrain.

The carrier for this scent is a blend of shea butter/olive oil, and the OO is especially compatible with the sages. While in Egypt in 2021 I visited the Matrouh olive oil press, but the oil we are using for the Three Sages came from a nearby Bedouin village. I've found all Egyptian OO --as it is from a drier climate-- to have a dusky, more animalic taste than its European cousins. But the Bedouin oil was in a class by itself.

The little jewel-boxes (2 1/4 x 1 1/2) are hand-beaded in India, but I have finished them with a 10kt rose-gilt lining and an intaglio inner cap. Each box is filled and sealed the day you order to make sure the scent is full strength.

They arrive in a translucent gift bag, and you may receive a different box than the one shown. If you are ordering from outside of the US, please add $10 to help offset the higher shipping costs.
