• Oud wood, black rose, cedar
  • Gentle coconut surfactants
  • pH-balanced daily wash
  • Hand-filled in Los Angeles

What it is

The Mourning Wood scent as a body wash from Laurel Bath House, a Los Angeles house that hand-fills small-batch bath and fragrance products. Oud wood, black rose, and upcycled cedar, built on the house's gentle coconut-surfactant, pH-balanced formula with Clairscent scent technology.

What it does

Cleans without stripping: gentle enough for daily use, with naturally derived ingredients and zero harsh chemicals, while wearing the dark, woody Mourning Wood scent. The brand says the scent stays after the shower.

Who it's for

Mourning Wood fans who want the scent in the shower, and anyone who prefers their body wash dark and woody over bright.

How to use

How much: A quarter-sized amount per section.

1. Apply to wet skin and work into a lather.
2. Rinse away without over-scrubbing.
3. Layer with the Mourning Wood eau de parfum to carry the scent into the night.

Where it fits: Daily, morning or night, as your regular shower step.

Why we stock it

We stock this because the house's most grounding scent deserves a daily format. If you already wear the eau de parfum, this is how the scent starts in the morning.

About the brand

Laurel Bath House

Functional fragrance, made to be lived in.

Laurel Bath House is an independent fragrance house. Their thing is functional fragrance — scent designed to be part of your day, not a special-occasion spray. The Layer Packs are their signature: two eau de parfums built to be worn on their own or layered into one blend.

Most niche fragrance asks you to commit to one expensive bottle and hope. Laurel's Layer Packs do the opposite — two full 50 mL bottles that teach you how to layer as you go. It's the most approachable way into real perfumery we've found, from a maker we'd hand you in person.

Bath & body questions, answered

How do I use this?

Follow the How to use section above. Most bath and body products are simple, but order matters — scrubs before shaving, oil on damp skin.

Is this safe for sensitive skin?

Patch test on your inner arm first and wait 24 hours. If a product is heavily fragranced and your skin is reactive, use less, or reach for a fragrance-free option.

How long will one bottle or jar last?

It depends on the product, but a little usually goes further than you think — start with less than feels necessary.
