Rewild your routine

Shade is packed with gorgeous essential oils that give it a warm, comforting scent. Sandalwood oil is extracted from protected and sustainable trees and blended in to give this fragrance its warm and woody note, while olibanum and guaiacwood oils round it out with a little grounding and a little floral, so its scent on skin is just a little different, but oh-so-perfect on everyone. Made in United Kingdom.

Spritz directly onto your wrists and neck for an immediate dose of your favorite aroma.

customisation

Sandalwood is a distinctly reassuring and grounding scent; it creates the base of many marvellous perfumes.

Sandalwood is an umbrella name for many scented trees, all belonging to the Santalum genus. These evergreen trees can grow up to 50 feet tall and have to be at least 25 years old before the wood is ready for distillation.

There are about 10 different types of sandalwood acress various parts of the world. Its aroma can change slightly depending on the origin.

Because of its popular fragrance and importance in many rites and folk medicine around the globe, sandalwood has been overexploited and the harvesting badly managed for centuries, leaving some species endangered. Although regulations have been made by governments, the high value of the wood still leads to smuggling, counterfeits and corruption, making it very difficult to find sustainable sources and a good oil quality. After long investigations and adventures, Lush buyers have found a few reliable sources.

We're more accustomed to seeing frankincense fill the air with wisps of fragrant, meditative smoke, but connoisseurs know it is also fantastic in cosmetics and perfumery.

First of all - frankincense can also be called olibanum, and this is something you can undoubtedly learn at Lush as we tend to use both! They’re equally beautiful and accurate names, and it’s been hard to make a choice.

Now, what is it exactly? Frankincense/olibanum is a tree resin harvested across Africa and the Middle East. Small notches are made on the trunk of Boswellia trees, causing a milky sap to flow. Cutting the same spot several times allows this sap to become more fragrant each time. Harvested once the resin has begun to harden, the finished product looks like small rocks. These chunks can be burned to diffuse a fragrant smoke but can also be distilled, diluted or crushed to obtain other consistencies.

What are the benefits of frankincense in cosmetics and fine fragrances?

Frankincense was already burned during religious ceremonies by ancient civilisations and was one of the first materials used as a perfume. In the age of the Pharaohs, its preservative properties led to its use in embalming and mummification. It was also widely popularised by the Bible, which mentions frankincense as one of the rare and expensive gifts given to baby Jesus by the three kings. Even today, it can still be found smoking on altars and is particularly appreciated to purify the air or encourage meditation.

Boswellia is a genus of trees with several species producing a fragrant resin. The oil and resinoid we purchase is made from the Boswellia sacra (syn.&nbsp;Boswellia carterii) tree. It's been considered <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/05/science/frankincense-trees-collapse.html">a Near Threatened species</a> since 1998 and that's why the Lush buying team strives to find the best possible suppliers who respect the trees, the land and the people.

A quick spritz of Shade delivers an instant burst of warm and comforting sandalwood, along with floral guaiacwood notes.
