Bali perfume oil with teak and tobacco notes, in a 1/2 oz bottle, blended in cosmetic-grade oils.
Origin & Lore
Bali is the one island in Indonesia where Hindu practice is dominant, and daily offerings called canang sari are part of ordinary life there. This oil borrows that atmosphere of calm and enchantment, with teak and tobacco as its stated notes. Use it for peace, charm and harmony rather than for any formal Balinese rite.
On Bali, small palm-leaf trays of flowers, rice and incense are set out every day on doorsteps, shrines and even car dashboards, so that the whole island smells faintly of offerings.
Tobacco has an old place in offering work across the Americas, where it was smoked and offered in ceremony long before European contact, and teak has been prized in South and Southeast Asia for temple carving and furniture because it resists rot and insects. On Bali itself, the calendar of temple festivals is governed by the 210-day pawukon cycle, alongside a lunar calendar.
Did You Know?
On Nyepi, the Balinese Day of Silence, the whole island shuts down for 24 hours: no lights, no travel and even the international airport closes.
