Soothing scents and self care

October 16, 2025

As evenings grow longer, it’s the perfect time to slow down and savour small, sensory moments - the steam of a warm bath, the scent of soap by candlelight, the simple luxury of a handwash that nourishes both skin and spirit. This season, we naturally refresh the everyday scents and skincare that make daily rituals feel a little more special.

The evenings are falling earlier, and we’re beginning to savour the slowness and small, sensory moments at the end of a day. The gentle steam of a warm bath. The scent of soap mingling with candlelight. The way a beautiful handwash can turn a simple moment into something mindfully nourishing.

At this time of year, we instinctively begin to refresh the things we reach for daily – the linens we touch, the aromas that fill our homes and the products that care for our skin. It’s the season for deeper, richer notes and for making the everyday feel a little more special.

Daily rituals, enhanced

Our Bath & Body edit is designed to heighten the senses. Each soap, handwash and lotion is chosen for its thoughtful ingredients, elegant fragrance and packaging that feels as beautiful and spa-like as it smells.

Among the season’s highlights, La Eva’s Hand & Body Wash in the Phos fragrance – a reviving blend of lemongrass, may chang and basil blended to energise and boost clarity. We also have the popular Roseum scent, with essentials oils rose geranium, petitgrain and clove and a beautiful label featuring a painting of a flamingo.

Alongside La Eva in their charming apothecary bottles are our new small batch soaps, as pure as you can find made from pink French clay with aromas of rosemary, geranium and bergamot. These soaps are weighty and tactile and they arrive packed in handmade paper – a beautiful example of slow living.

And because we truly believe it’s the little details that bring daily boosts of joy, we have added soft cotton face cloths to our collection. Whether used warm to remove a cleansing balm or cool to refresh in the morning, each cloth elevates the simplest moment into a small act of luxury. Beautifully finished and easy to wash, they are the quiet essential you’ll reach for again and again.

Time to slow and soothe

As the air cools and skin starts to crave hydration, these are the little luxuries that bring both beauty and function to your bathroom. Place them by the sink, on a bath tray or gift them to a friend who loves the cosy, soothing feeling of home.

Tips to elevate your everyday scents

Switch textures: a traditional bar soap in the morning, a liquid handwash in evening, brings contrast to your daily cleansing routine.
Style your scents: keep the bathroom clutter free and arrange your La Eva glass bottles as you would vases and design objects in other rooms. These self care products are created to look beautiful and be shown off!
Reuse or gift your bottles: La Eva’s glass bottles can be used over and over. Once empty, use them for handwash at your kitchen sink or remove the label and top and turn them into a vase for small stems. Pass them on to friends to do the same.
Small rituals: pause before using, be mindful as you lather and cleanse, to help reset your mind and create a feeling of calm.
