THE BODY CONDITIONING BALM

+
-

Midday sun beats heavily on the grove. Sweet aromas burst from the freshly peeled orange. Neroli blossom dances, alive on the breeze. Another negroni over ice – it's summer after all.

AT FIRST
SLICED ORANGE, SWEET MANDARIN, TUSCAN SUN

AND THEN
BITTER NEGRONI, NEROLI BLOSSOM, AFTERNOON SIESTA

FINALLY
ITALIAN CYPRESS, PETITGRAIN, LA DOLCE VITA

A walk through the woods after a thunderstorm. Damp cedar. Fresh leaves. Citrus rays of morning light slice through the canopy. Take a deep breath. Day begins again. 

AT FIRST
EUCALYPTUS, CALEDONIAN PINE, ORANGE SUNBEAMS

AND THEN
ROSEMARY, MORNING DEW, A SENSE OF WONDER

FINALLY
WET EARTH, LINGERING CEDAR

Steam dances over the hot spring, steeped in soft Japanese citrus. Cold, earthy air rushes into the lungs. Morning sun bathes the cedar mountains in a lavender light. Mind clear and calm. Breathe.

AT FIRST
STEEPED YUZU, LAVENDER, HUSHED MINT

AND THEN
MOUNTAIN PEPPER, CLOVE

FINALLY
JAPANESE CEDARWOOD, VETIVER, CALM

A lazy walk back to the villa, along cobbled streets, past tomato vines and proud citrus trees. Under the dusk sky, locals smoke cigars and drink mint tea. The sea air greets your sun-kissed skin like an old friend. Here’s to endless summers.

AT FIRST
FRESH MINT, POMELO, COASTAL WIND

AND THEN
CASCADING GERANIUMS, TOMATO VINES, SUN-WARMED SKIN

FINALLY
VETIVER, GIN AND TONIC... AND NO PLANS

Early Sunday morning. Lemon sunlight peeks sleepily over the terraces of the bustling flower market. Street sellers call; their stalls a riot of violet and amber blooms. The scent of freshly cut stems and good coffee. With a smile you melt into the crowd.

AT FIRST
ZESTY LEMON, CUT STEMS, COLD SKIES

AND THEN
IRIS, VIOLET LEAF, WARM HANDS ON A COFFEE CUP

FINALLY
AMBER, TONKA BEAN. A PERFECT SUNDAY

Excellent

My husband never used lotion until this, he (and I) love the scent, it absorbs quickly, it’s not greasy, lasts a long time on the skin and you need very little, it leaves skin hydrated and it’s hasn’t irritated him even though he has sensitive skin. Highly recommend.

I don’t want to be dramatic but…

This deodorant balm has healed something in me. For the first time since middle school I don’t think about how I smell. Because legit you just don’t smell anymore. After 25 years of bopping from traditional antiperspirant to super strength to all natural, probably 30 brands in total, this just completely takes your BO away. Beautiful scents (I prefer after thunder) with protection that lasts and lasts and lasts and lasts. I’ve gone full goblin mode for 4 days and…no BO!! Jesus Christ. It’s a miracle. An everlasting amount of thank yous to AKT for their products 💖💖
