JASMINE DAMASK ROSE - HAND SOAP
A night-blooming kiss of Jasmine for your hands, poured in a custom fluted glass vessel.
Our newly molded Glass Bottle is a quiet pledge to real, breathing hospitality. A talisman in translucent forest green, it draws from the very fluted walls of our bar at the Estate, mirroring the detail, care, and commitment to the beauty we bring to every corner of our home, for every guest who passes through. Rendered as a keepsake—heavy, timeless, carefully embossed—it is meant to be displayed in the bath. Welcoming even the simplest of rituals, to be a thing of beauty.
Inside it is our velvety-smooth Jasmine and Rose Castile formula, inspired by the intoxicating scent that crawls through the Estate at night. It is made with protective Rosehip Seed Oil from Patagonia and soothing Babassu Seed Oil from Brazil. Thickened only with natural Sea Salt, formulated with just oils, and melting onto the palms of your hand — it leaves skin nourished with a bright floral finish of Jasmine, Bergamot, and a pop of Pink Peppercorn.
Fragrance: Heady floral featuring Night Blooming Jasmine and Damask Rose, combined with the zest of Pink Pepercorn and Bergamot.
Benefits:
Rosehip Seed Oil

THE ESTATE
A place to bathe, eat, and bask in the garden’s most precious ingredients.
In the early 1940s, a determined pair of young renegades arrived in California to realize their vision of an earthly paradise. High atop the hills of Los Angeles, hidden by a lush orchard and dense gardens, the flamingo-pink estate became a secret haven for wild alchemy in the City of Angels.
Now Flamingo Estate is the home of Richard Christiansen, and, in the spirit of its origins, a radical celebration of pleasure from the garden. We carefully cultivate Mother Nature’s wildest, most precious gifts, at a time when we need them most.
Flamingo Estate is a home and garden. But it’s more than that, too. It’s the story of a lush orchard and pleasure garden on a California hillside overlooking Los Angeles, and the many hands that have helped tend it. It’s a philosophy that champions slow ways and ancient practices. It’s a quest for intimacy — between plants and people, body and spirit, heaven and earth.
Flamingo Estate is a reminder that beauty is not so much the penchant of certain people for exceptional things, as it is their refusal to stand for anything less.
With the help of our friends and a network of incredible farmers, we grow sage for soap and tomatoes for candles. We harvest salt from the cliffs of Big Sur and press olive oil from very old trees and keep bees for honey. In all of it, we’re invested in pleasure — for ourselves and our clients and friends — because we think it’s a path to radical change and cataclysmic beauty.
Things at Flamingo Estate take time and patience, and they’re meant to. There’s dreaming involved, and growing, and trial and error. There are skilled hands of expert purveyors at the helm of every bar of soap, every drop of oil, and there’s wisdom imbued in each product’s story. If something feels expensive here, it’s because these things are rare.
If you’re here, it’s because you believe in the power of the human hand, in collaboration with Mother Nature, to make beauty. We’re the ardent dreamers, the fantasists, the wizards in the workshop, and we’re all doing it for the marvels of the natural world.
