If we took the entire garden and tossed it into a blender, this is what we’d make.
This Soap Brick is a tribute to the green, living heart of Flamingo Estate — Roman Parsley and fresh-cut Rosemary, picked at their most fragrant and alive. It’s the smell of the herb beds in late spring, when the sun warms the soil and your hands come back inside smelling like lunch and medicine all at once.
Roman Parsley is sharper and stronger than its common cousin — bold, mineral, with a hint of licorice and old apothecaries. The Romans believed it cleared the mind and settled the spirit. And we do too. Rosemary is the scent of memory. It's been burned in temples, steeped in teas, and pressed into oil for centuries to sharpen the senses and lift the fog. At Flamingo, it grows wild and hungry — soft and silver-green, covered in bees.
We mix both into a base of French Green Clay, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and Brazilian Babassu — a rich, nutritious oil harvested by hand on the edges of the rainforest. The Babassu seeds are gathered by a collective of Indigenous women in Brazil, whose work supports their families and protects their land.
When this Soap Brick hits hot water, it fills the room with green steam and wakes up your brain. It smells like our Garden — herbaceous, unruly, and alive.
