Scent Stories — where each blend begins

🌹 Kannauj Rose — a royal accident that became the soul of Indian perfumery▼
Legend has it Empress Nur Jahan noticed a shimmering film on her rose-petal bathwater one Mughal morning — the first Ruh Gulab. Four centuries on, Kannauj's distillers still hand-pick Rosa damascena before dawn and steam it through copper Deg stills into a Mysore sandalwood base, the same Deg-Bhapka method, unchanged since the 1600s.~40–50 kg of petals → just 10ml of pure attar
🌾 Thanjavur Vetiver — nature's original air conditioner▼
Long before fans or AC, palace doorways were hung with vetiver-root mats and splashed with water — the dry wind picked up a dark, cool, earthy scent as it passed through. The roots grow two metres deep in the Cauvery delta's sandy-loam soil, harvested after 18 months, then steam-distilled into an oil that smells like earth after the first monsoon rain.18 months of root growth before a single harvest
🪵 Hojai Oud — beauty born from resilience▼
Oud doesn't grow — it's earned. The Aquilaria tree produces nothing remarkable until it's wounded; only then does its heartwood defend itself with a dark, resin-rich sap. Assam's Hojai distillers chip and steam-distil that resin-saturated wood over several days to draw out an oil that's smoky, warm and deeply complex.The world's most expensive aromatic raw material
🌱 Idukki Cardamom — the Queen of Spices, a Kerala dawn in a bottle▼
In Kerala, a guest is never welcomed without something touched by cardamom — a chai, a sweet, a crushed pod in water. Grown in the cool, shaded slopes of the Western Ghats, each pod is hand-picked at peak ripeness, right when its oil content peaks — a bright, clean, wake-you-up note.Hand-picked at the exact peak of ripeness, pod by pod
🍃 Nilgiri Geranium — not rose, but what the room needs more▼
Often mistaken for rose, geranium is lighter and greener — grown on the misty slopes of the Nilgiris, where the oil must be steam-distilled within hours of harvest before its delicate top notes fade. It's the bridge scent: fresh, herbaceous, quietly grounding rather than announcing itself.Distilled within hours of hand-harvest
🟤 Wayanad Cinnamon — warmth that doesn't bite▼
True Ceylon cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum), not the sharper cassia — hand-peeled bark, shade-dried on Wayanad's estates, and distilled in small copper stills into something sweet and round, with a honey edge rather than a bitter one. Gentler on skin, which is exactly why it belongs in a soak.Naturally lower coumarin than cassia — gentler on skin

Frequently Asked Questions

Magnesium Salt Soak

What is the Magnesium Salt Soak?▼
A private, in-courtyard warm mineral water ritual in your own single-person 800L tub, using food-grade magnesium sulfate. Fully drained and refilled fresh for every booking.
Is the tub shared between guests?▼
No — it's a single-person 800L tub, drained and refilled fresh for every booking. It is never reused between guests.
Can I add my own bath salts or oils?▼
We ask guests not to add outside products, as undissolved additives can alter the salt concentration. Ask about our Aromatherapy Soak for a curated scent upgrade instead.

Aromatherapy Soak

What is the Aromatherapy Soak?▼
A scent upgrade to your single-person Magnesium Soak tub — a house-selected essential oil blend, pre-diluted for skin safety, added to your freshly drawn water.
Can I bring my own essential oils?▼
No. Undiluted guest-supplied oils can cause skin irritation and are not permitted in the tub.
Which scent should I pick?▼
Cardamom and Geranium are light and universally well-tolerated. Rose and Vetiver are the classic middle-ground choices. Oud is our flagship, richest option — recommended for evening bookings.

Cold Plunge

How cold is the water, really?▼
First-time guests are set at 15°C (59°F). Returning guests with prior experience can request 10–12°C. The 4–7°C tier is capped at 3–5 minutes and offered only to experienced guests.
Is the water shared between guests?▼
No — just like the Magnesium Soak, it's a full drain-and-refill for every guest. We don't run an inbuilt chiller: each plunge is chilled fresh with our ice-mix method, so you're always stepping into a completely clean, newly cooled fill — never shared, never topped up.

Combo Packages

Can I combine multiple rituals?▼
Yes — see our Ritual Packages above, including the Hot-Cold Contrast Ritual and the Hojai Oud Evening Ritual. Ask your Host to build a custom combination for your stay.
How does the health check work for combos?▼
The checklist for a combo (e.g. Hot-Cold Contrast Ritual) combines the contraindications from every ritual it includes — so for that package, it covers both the Magnesium Soak and Cold Plunge lists.
Never sequence cold → hot?▼
Correct — for the Hot-Cold Contrast Ritual we always sequence hot first, then cold, with a short rest in between. This is easier on blood pressure regulation than the reverse order.
What should I bring?▼
Nothing — robes, towels, and refreshments are included with every ritual. Just bring yourself and arrive a few minutes ahead of your slot.
