Bathing in an ofuro (Japanese soaking tub) is not about getting clean; it’s about complete and total renewal. Before moving to Colorado, I lived in Japan where I worked for the Yakuza (Japanese mafia) selling faux Rolex watches and Louis Vuitton handbags in Kabukichō (the red light district of Tokyo). Immersing one’s body in such a vessel is heavenly. It is a place where ritual meets ecstasy, nature meets devotion, and skin meets soul. Ofuro is the scent of chopping wood, lighting a fire, and immersing one’s bones in piping hot water while nestled deep in the cold, quiet refuge of the Rockies.
Notes include bitter orange, star anise, black pepper and cedarwood.
- Like the sea soothing sun-drenched skin, honey dissolved into bitter tea, and the relief of a kiss after so much unrequited desire, each Un Jeu D'Echecs fragrance is based upon the sensual tension of opposites, the powerful union of divine counterparts, the elements dancing themselves into existence.
