The pretty bottles finally arrived…Earth & Ember exquisite natural perfume is here!

A hymn to earth and spirit, Earth & Ember opens with a breath of citrus firelight before settling into the wild poetry of jasmine, patchouli, and true sage. Beneath it, cedarwood, vetiver, and frankincense evoke the scent of sacred soil after rain…grounding yet ethereal.

This perfume honours the soul of the wanderer and the mystic: barefoot in the forest, wrapped in smoke and sunlight, listening to the hum of the living earth.

Earth & Ember is a grounding, sensual journey through smoke, soil, and sunlight...a perfume that feels like walking barefoot through the forest after rain. Wild, sacred, and untamed, it invites the soul to root deeply while awakening the fire within.

This one was requested by beautiful granddaughter, Daejha, for her special human and I loved it so much it had to join our line of perfumes! 🙏🏼🔥🌏

Coming to KootsRoots in Creston as soon as I find a ride, and available now innout online shop! Local pickup and delivery available in Cranbrook. 😁

“I got this spray yesterday after being recommended for an ear infection and sore throat I’ve been fighting off. After the first two doses yesterday the sharp pain was very much diminished and two doses later today the pain is mostly gone . Still some ear tenderness but Loving the progress so far! Thank you!”

We have had many requests for a beautiful Frankincense Essential Oil so here it is!

15 ml/ 0.5 oz - $30
Frankincense (Boswellia carterii), sourced from the arid regions of Somalia, is a revered resin known for its profound therapeutic and spiritual properties. Its essential oil contains boswellic acids, which have potent anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and immune-modulating effects, making it beneficial for easing joint pain, respiratory conditions, and skin inflammation.

On an emotional and energetic level, frankincense promotes deep relaxation, clarity, and connection to spirit, helping to calm anxiety and support meditation or prayer. Its gentle yet powerful aroma is often used to deepen breath, center the mind, and restore a sense of peace and sacredness to both body and soul.

Available in our online shop and at the KootsRoots shop in Creston, BC. Local Cranbrook people can order online for local pickup or delivery. ❤️🙏🏼
