Erode Soap - Jasmine Ylang Ylang
Open to order now, leaving the studio from the middle of October. Complimentary shipping from $125, complimentary expedited from $500.
A bar of soap she would never buy herself.
The same sculptural bar as the White Grapefruit, marbled in ink and cream. Jasmine sambac and ylang ylang, softened with willow bark and mango butter, so it reads floral without being sweet. Cold-processed, poured and cast by hand in Oakland, cured for eight weeks, and shaped to change as it is used.
It is the one their customers describe as a work of art rather than a soap, and the one most often bought to give.
THE OBJECT
Eight ounces, five by two inches, considerably larger than a usual bar
Jasmine sambac, ylang ylang, willow bark, goji berry, mango butter
Cold-process, certified organic, no synthetic fragrance
Hand-poured, so no two are the same
Arrives in a white box, which needs no wrapping
THE MAKERS
UME Studio was founded by Victor and Mei-Lan, who met working in architecture and built the house around materials and craft rather than styling. It shows in the shape.
HOW TO USE IT
Brush wet hands or a cloth over the surfaces to raise a lather and release the oils. Allow it to dry between uses so it lasts.
Wrapped in tissue, card on top.
No prices, no packing slip, no invoice.
Tracking to you, so you know when it lands.
