Brook's Blog > Lotus Garden

We launched Lotus Garden almost a year ago now.  So why am I talking about it now?  A few reasons:  this is my favorite blend at the moment.  It is such a departure from the feeling of winter with bright top notes, yet it is so grounded and sensual with base notes that pull you in to the mystery of the scent.
And second, as many of our long time customers know, I am not about what is new new new, rather, I like to look back and celebrate what is classic, what is timeless and what will become a permanent part of your fragrance collection.  To me, this is one scent that you really cannot live without.
Yes, I love introducing new fragrances.  But there is also such comfort in revisiting the ones that I truly love.
Lotus Garden was inspired by two gardens, one close to me in Santa Barbara called Lotusland and one in Cambodia just outside of Angkor Watt.  The garden in Santa Barbara is simply a beautiful conduit to take me back to Cambodia.  If I sit still on the bench at the lotus pool and take in all of the scents, I can almost see the temples in the mist, smell the incense burning as offerings along the path, almost hear the footsteps of the orange robed Buddhist monks walking by.  I tried to capture not only the scent of the Lotus Garden, but also the emotion of being in Cambodia and to celebrate what is beautiful and alive and thriving.  I wanted to play with unfamiliar, more exotic notes yet keep them balanced by pleasingly familiar fragrances.

You can always head into any Sephora to try Lotus Garden if you haven’t smelled it before.  They also carry the lotion and body wash (which are both divine!).

Enjoy!
