I started 39BC because I was tired. Not just physically — though that too — but tired of output, noise, and the performance of wellness. I didn’t want another productivity hack. I wanted presence. To feel something real again.
So I got into the bath.
At first, it was recovery. Then it became ritual — a daily immersion that slowed my body and cleared my mind. From there, it became a study. I traced the history of bathing across cultures: the communal Roman bathhouse, the serenity of Japanese onsens, the heat of Moroccan hammams, the quiet tinctures of monasteries. Each practice revealed a different way of honouring water, scent, and touch. What began as curiosity became a map. That map became a practice.
That practice became 39BC: a fine fragrance bathing brand rooted in ancient rituals but designed for modern life. Our first collection of luxury shower oils is inspired by one of history’s most legendary alliances — Cleopatra and Mark Antony. Their love story was political, sensual, and world-shaping. We’ve translated that energy into four oils that combine history, scent, and ceremony to shift your state.
This brand is where all my loves meet: design, history, beauty, and storytelling. But beneath all of it lies something simple and essential — the human desire to feel pleasure every single day. Not indulgence, but grounding. Not performance, but presence.
The first 39BC shower oil collection is now available for pre-order. Each bottle is both ritual and reminder — to slow down, to return to yourself, to let water and fragrance carry you back into your body.
Thank you for stepping into the water with me.
