This is the real smell of California’s coast because this soap is made with real leaves of the Sage plants that blanket the precipitous hillsides of the coastal mountains from the San Francisco Bay region south to Baja California. White Sage, Black Sage and California Sage are a few of the Sages used to make this distinctly coastal-smelling soap. If we could capture the misty, salty smell of the air — then this soap would really have it all! So enjoy the aromatic pleasures of hiking in the coastal mountains of California without ever leaving your tub.
Steep Ravine has an impossibly strong scent that immediately makes us think of the lush, moss-laden coastal canyons where it is most commonly found. While its spicy fragrance is wonderfully evocative and refreshing from a distance, crush a leaf under your nose and the sensation of your sinuses exploding is akin to doing a somersault in a swimming pool without a nose plug. Fortunately for you, we use just a little bit of the leaves in this soap so you get the light, spicy fragrance without the somersault part.
California’s Sierra Nevada is perhaps the most widely loved and jealously guarded mountain range in North America. Its deep heart of wilderness has been the fuel of inspiration for generations of wilderness activists. This soap smells just like the Sierra because it is made from the spicy leaves of the Cedar which blankets the mountains’ western flanks. This is the real smell of warm summer evenings along the Tuolumne River or of stumbling out of your sleeping bag in the middle of the night, with the impossibly cold, wood-smoke Sierra air lighting up your senses.
Siskiyou Cedar is found only in the remote coastal mountains of the Northwest’s Siskiyou country. Its compelling aroma is extremely evocative and was said to have strongly affected 19th-century seamen who sailed schooners made from the fresh wood—“The odor grew and grew on them till they were almost mad with it” (Donald Peattie). While many soaps claim to be “Cedar” scented, this soap is the only one you will find with the distinct smell of Siskiyou Cedar and the distinct feeling of the gorgeous, rugged country where it grows.
If you’ve ever been to the Grand Canyon and nudged perilously close to the edge of a thousand-foot drop-off and wondered what that insane tree clinging to the side of the cliff was, it probably was Juniper. Juniper covers vast portions of the Southwest and seems happily at home clinging to small ledges on sheer Navajo sandstone cliffs or peeking up between boulders on precipitous slopes. This scent, more than any other, is the defining scent of the high Colorado Plateau country of the Southwest.
White sage, with its incredibly strong, aromatic resins, is the most highly prized Western Sage. It is popular across the Southwest, where it is used in Native American purification rituals. Its beautiful leaf clusters and enormous flowering stalks burst forth in the spring, painting streaks of white against the rusty green hillsides and filling the air with the pungent aroma of wild Sage. This is the only Sage soap anywhere that is 100% scented and colored with real White Sage.
