Bathing
Luxury bath products: fragrance, texture and ritual
Separating bath products from room fragrance
Bath salts, oils and foaming gels change the experience of water in different ways. Some primarily provide scent, while others contribute to washing through their formulation. A product intended to fragrance a room should not be poured into bathwater: an explicit indication for bodily use is needed before considering that application.
Creating a ritual that remains practical
The recommended quantity helps avoid excessive fragrance or an unnecessarily slippery bathtub. Rinse the skin when directed and clean the tub afterwards. A luxurious bath product can be selected for olfactory enjoyment and presentation without giving the relaxation experienced a therapeutic meaning or assuming that every aromatic product offers the same benefits.
