DARIEN ESSENTIALS
handcrafted bath & beauty products
If we breathe the scent of goodly grass, the fragrance of spices, the aroma of good fruits, we pronounce a blessing over the pleasure.

We mix classic scents with a twist so you can keep people guessing. Or you can keep them coming back for more. It's up to you to decide how you want to use it.
Each season will highlight a Seasonal Scent chosen specifically to capture its essence and a Limited Edition scent which captured our fancy at the time. Our entire scent library is offered year-round. Unless specified, the scents described below are for women.
SEASONAL SCENT:
Sweetgrass and Sunflower
A fresh scent reminiscent of freshly cut grass and citrus, or how we always imagined sunflowers would smell... Think of the lazy days lying in a grassy field with a cozy blanket and picnic basket surrounded by the aroma of lemongrass, vetiver and oranges.
OUR SCENT LIBRARY:
Barista
A warm and spicy unisex scent for men and women. Remember those mornings when a warm breakfast and hot coffee can get you ready for whatever happens that day? Now mix hot oatmeal drizzled with honey and a perfect latte made with roasted french coffee beans together to recreate this feeling throughout the day.
Ambrosia
The Greek gods and goddesses were stingy in feeding ambrosia to mortals and deservedly so because it made them immortal. Our sweet fruity scent, which is the lightest of all our scents, can't make you live forever. However, we are more generous than the residents of Mount Olympus in sharing the perfume of ylang ylang, peppermint, passionfruit, kiwi and mango with you.
Him
Sorry ladies, but this oriental scent is for men only. Sweet orange and vetiver keeps you smelling fresh while ginger, cloves and cinnamon adds enough spice for whatever naughty things come your way.
Polynesian Garden
This is not your grandmother's floral scent, unless she was living in the South Seas and wearing flowers in her hair. An aromatic oriental blend of starfruit, plumeria, awapuhi (that's Hawaiian ginger for those on the mainland), hibiscus and lemongrass that more luau than stuffy old wardrobe.
Tea Party
A woody unisex scent that mixes red clover, black tea, ginger, and tops it with lime, cinnamon, orange peel, cardomom and cloves for a very clean, yet spicy scent.
Unscented
This option is for those who see, feel and react to things more so than the masses. We offer an unscented option for the highly sensitive and/or allergy-prone so you can still feel fabulous but without the breakouts, itching and hives.
