- PETRICHOR
- MOSS
- SALT
- ALDEHYDIC
- BIRCH TAR
- CEDARWOOD & PATCHOULI
A term coined by Australian scientists in the 1960s to describe the earthy scent released when rain falls on dry soil. Wet, mineral and rain-soaked. The scent of cracked earth revived by the first storm.
Moss-covered forests and stone ruins inspired the great chypre perfumes of early 20th century France, where earthy notes became synonymous with elegance and mystery. Damp, velvety and ancient. The scent of forest floor and overgrown temples.
Harvested for thousands of years across coastal civilisations, salt was once so valuable that Roman soldiers were partly paid in it, giving rise to the word salary. Crystalline and addictive. The scent of skin after sea spray and swimming.
Synthetic molecules introduced into perfumery in the early 20th century, famously used in Chanel No.5 to create its sparkling, abstract freshness. Clean, fizzy and abstract. Like vintage perfume bottles opened for the first time.
Traditionally distilled from birch bark across Northern Europe and Russia, historically used to tan leather, waterproof boats and preserve materials against harsh winters. Smoky and leathery. Like firelight flickering on wet stone.
Cedarwood has long been used in sacred architecture and storage, while patchouli became associated with luxury textiles when merchants packed silk and cashmere with its leaves during travel. Dry, deep and grounding. A ritual for the senses.

SUNFLOWER OIL (HELIANTHUS ANNUUS)
Rich in linoleic acid, a fatty acid known to support the skin barrier and reduce moisture loss. Native to the Americas, sunflowers were cultivated for thousands of years before spreading through Europe in the 16th century.
GRAPESEED OIL (VITIS VINIFERA)
Lightweight and rich in omega-6 fatty acids, helping to nourish and soften the skin without heaviness. Traditionally produced as a byproduct of winemaking across the Mediterranean and Europe.
AVOCADO OIL (PERSEA AMERICANA)
A deeply emollient oil rich in oleic acid, known for calming and conditioning dry skin. Avocados were cultivated in Central America for over 5,000 years and prized by the Aztecs for nourishment and ritual use.
CASTOR OIL (RICINUS COMMUNIS)
A dense botanical oil high in ricinoleic acid, valued for its moisturising and smoothing properties. Used historically across Ancient Egypt, India and East Africa in beauty, medicine and lamp oils.
VITAMIN E (TOCOPHEROL)
A naturally occurring antioxidant that helps support skin resilience and protect against environmental stress. The name tocopherol comes from the Greek words tokos and pherein, meaning “to bring forth offspring.”
INGREDIENTS
A blend of plant-based oils, botanical extracts and fragrance materials selected for their sensorial qualities, cultural histories and skin-supporting properties. From nourishing oils rich in essential fatty acids to resins, woods and florals long used in perfumery and ritual, each ingredient contributes to the texture, atmosphere and experience of the formula.
Our 39BC Body Cleansers are designed for both bath and shower, transforming from rich oil into a soft cleansing milk on contact with water. Apply while in the shower or pour directly into running bath water to create a more immersive experience through steam, scent and warmth.
Yes. 39BC was designed as an oil-based cleanser that cleanses the skin without leaving it feeling stripped or tight afterwards.
Unlike traditional shower gels, which can leave dry skin feeling squeaky or dehydrated, our oil-to-milk formulas combine cleansing agents with nourishing plant oils to help support softness and comfort after bathing.
Skin is left cleansed, hydrated, and lightly scented.
Yes. 39BC can be used in both the bath and shower.
In the shower, apply directly onto damp skin and massage as the oil transforms into a soft milk.
In the bath, smooth onto skin before soaking or apply at the end of your bath ritual as a final cleansing layer.
No. 39BC is an oil body cleanser.
Traditional shower gels are usually water-based and designed to create a large foam. 39BC is oil-based, creating a softer, more sensorial cleansing experience that leaves skin nourished rather than stripped.
The texture begins as a rich oil and transforms into a cleansing milk when combined with water.
39BC creates a soft, light lather rather than a large foam.
We intentionally formulated the texture to feel closer to a cleansing oil than a traditional foaming body wash. The experience is creamy, milky, and skin-softening.
Oil-to-milk describes the transformation that happens when water touches the formula.
The cleanser begins as a silky oil, then emulsifies into a soft milk as you massage it onto damp skin. This allows the formula to cleanse effectively while maintaining a nourished, conditioned skin feel.
It is designed to leave skin comfortable, supple, and lightly fragranced after rinsing.
No. The formula rinses cleanly from the skin.
Because the cleanser is oil-based, skin may feel softer and more conditioned after use compared to a traditional shower gel, but it should not feel greasy or coated.
39BC is formulated to be gentle and non-stripping, however all skin is individual.
Our formulas contain fine fragrance compositions alongside plant oils, so we recommend patch testing first if you are highly sensitive, reactive, or fragrance-intolerant. Our FIG MILK oil is currently best for a lighter experience.
Each 39BC cleanser has its own fragrance profile inspired by bathing rituals, ancient ingredients, and emotional states.
Some scents are softer and skin-close, while others are deeper, warmer, or more floral. The fragrances are designed to unfold through steam and warm water, creating an immersive bathing experience rather than a sharp, overpowering scent.
The scent is designed to linger softly on the skin after bathing.
Longevity will vary depending on the fragrance, your skin type, and whether you layer with other scented products, but most people experience a subtle skin scent that remains for several hours after use.
Yes. 39BC was designed with fragrance layering in mind.
The cleansers create a scented base layer on the skin that can be worn alone or paired with perfume. Many customers use them as part of a longer fragrance ritual, combining body care, oils, and scent together.
Yes. 39BC was designed for daily use.
The formulas are intentionally gentle and non-stripping, making them suitable for everyday bathing rituals in both the shower and bath.
Yes. The milky texture creates slip across the skin, making it suitable for shaving.
