ROMA HEIRLOOM TOMATO - DISH SOAP
Conjures memories of late Summer in Sicily.
A Summer garden distilled, bringing us back to the herbaceous scents of Flamingo Estate with the fresh, green aroma of its leaves, hand-harvested herbs, and hints of spice. Anchored by wild-harvested Tarragon grown in Oregon, and Black Pepper essential oil grown on flowering vines in the forests of Madagascar.
Radically cleansing and green, this Dish Soap captures the freshness of the garden with the herbaceous aroma of the Tomato. The moment the hot water hits the soap, the intoxicating fragrance of freshly watered Tomato vines, hand-harvested aromatic herbs, and a hint of spice transform the kitchen. It’s formulated with biodegradable cleansers that help with watershed health, leaving dishes sparkling and removing all residue. Our wild-harvested Tarragon is grown in Oregon — a native plant that serves as a host for the Oregon Swallowtail Butterfly. Black Pepper grows on flowering vines in the forests of Madagascar. It’s harvested by local producers in the wild, and steam distilled into an essential oil in the Ambanja region.

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.
