Label descriptions for a line of bath bombs called Bathquake, created by myself and my best childhood friend. We came up with our product names together, but I wrote all of the copy.

Ball of Sunlight
Neroli – Tangerine – Sweet Orange
Cheer up with the inspiring, orange blossom-esque fragrance of Neroli, backed by a symphony of citrus oils. The sun-kissed scents of orange and tangerine quickly relax you, while Neroli is known for its ability to help lift the gloomiest of moods. An excellent way to help your inner sun rise and prepare to face the day.

Best Case Scenario
Cocoa Butter – Vanilla – Coconut Milk
Would you like to forget the very definition of the word stress? Then plunge into a bath loaded with the delicious scent of cocoa butter for a warming, relaxing and highly skin-softening experience. You’ll feel good enough to eat when you emerge from the tub–silky, supple and sweetened with traces of chocolate and vanilla.

Draw!
Bay Rum – Ginger – Cedarwood
Whenever you think about this Bathquake, you’ll feel the urge to dash off to the tub and plunge yourself in. The age-old fragrance of bay rum engulfs you like cozy, worn flannel while ginger and cedarwood soothe away your aches and pains. The fragrance is a bit on the manly side, but women like this bath too.

Full Moon
Clary Sage – Bay – Lavender – Cedar
A lively combination of scents that evokes the loony feeling that washes over you whenever the moon is waxed to the max. Clary sage, bay and cedarwood clear your head and encourage bold behavior while lavender helps to keep your enthusiasm in check. (After all, we don’t want anyone getting arrested.)

Gerainamo!
Geranium – Honeysuckle
Soothe sore muscles or banish a bad attitude with a blast of the powerful scent of geranium. Honeysuckle fragrance sweetens the experience and evokes summertime memories and feelings. A buoyant and eye-opening bathing encounter that we recommend you take at the beginning of a long day or before a night on the town.

Get Lucky
Frankincense – Patchouli – Jasmine – Ylang Ylang
Need a little help from Aphrodite? Draw the one you dream of to you like a magnet or get yourself and your sweetheart in the mood for love with this potent combination of aphrodisia-inducing oils. The fresh and spicy scent of this Bathquake wears well on both men and women. Not recommended for anyone who hates to feel sexy.

Hippy Hippy ‘Quake
Patchouli – Amber – Clary Sage – Clove – Nag Champa
For goodness sake! Who would have thought that blending every fragrance associated with love children inside of one ‘Quake would turn out to be such a voluptuous bathing experience? This surprisingly subtle suite of earthy scents will leave you feeling sexy, spicy, warm and fresh.

Just Quit (a.k.a. “Coming Up Roses”)
Rose – Lavender
Two of nature’s most relaxing fragrances combine forces to help you take on the world. Drop this precious Bathquake into the tub when you need the courage to quit anything that keeps you from fully enjoying your life; Quit a bad relationship, an unsatifying job or an unhealthy habit. Either that – or just use it when you want to feel and smell really good.

Laid-Back Lilac
Lilac – Chamomile Roman
You won’t be able to get rid of your wide, contented grin after this bathing experience. The lighthearted fragrance of lilac fills your senses with positive energy while chamomile washes away all traces of tension, relaxing your body, mind and spirit.

The Lovequake
Jasmine – Sandalwood – Ylang Ylang
A sultry combination of feminine scents known the world over for their power as potent aphrodisiacs. Sandalwood relaxes you while ylang ylang starts to raise your spirits. Then jasmine — the most powerful of all love potions — brings out your radiant, magnetic and sensual qualities.

Moss
Bergamot – Neroli – Ylang Ylang
A bathing experience that is as soft and luxurious as a roll in fresh spring moss. Find balance and encouragement with the woody, soothing essence of bergamot and the fresh orange blossom fragrance of Neroli. Ylang ylang oil pampers your skin while its aroma warms your center, helping you to radiate emotional openness and inner confidence.

Pep Rally
Peppermint – Eucalyptus – Tea Tree
If you’re having trouble getting your day started, pop this eye-opening Bathquake into the tub. This triad of fresh fragrances acts as your personal cheerleading squad. Peppermint, eucalyptus and tea tree fight fatigue, increase circulation and bolster concentration.

In the Woods
Sandalwood – Black Pepper – Rosewood
If you find the smells of the forest in springtime invigorating, then this is the Bathquake for you. The musky, erotic fragrance of sandalwood is used for meditation and as an aphrodisiac–it won’t overwhelm you, but it will cling subtly to your skin for hours. The clean, woodsy scent of rosewood and a hint of spicy black pepper both combat sore muscles and calm your nerves like a healthy dose of fresh air.

Starry Starry Night
Chamomile Roman – Lavender
The soothing scents of chamomile and lavender wash away the day’s anxieties, as the tub fills with calming blue water. When you climb into bed after this bath, a subtle touch of glitter will decorate your sweet almond-softened skin. If that hasn’t banished all traces of restlessness, we recommend that you imagine rocking yourself to sleep inside of the swirls of Vincent Van Gogh’s night sky.

Stress Peeler
Frankincense – Lavender Orange – Patchouli
Melt away the thoughts of the day’s challenges and stresses with this medley of healing, relaxing and spirit-raising aromas. Frankincense essence pries your mind away from clinging worries, while lavender and orange oils help you to feel more tranquil. Finally, a subtle touch of patchouli peels away the last of your stresses and gives your self-esteem a lift.

Tide Pool
Clary Sage – Eucalyptus – Lemon – Celtic Sea Salt
We were desperate to find an authentic ocean fragrance to flood our tubs with, and so we created this ‘Quake, replete with traces of light Celtic sea salt. Take a whiff and you’ll be transported to a whale-watching boat on the Atlantic or find yourself waist-deep in a sunny Carribean lagoon.

Yin
Vetiver – Ylang Ylang – Lemon
The smoky, distinct scent of vetiver will put you directly–and wonderfully–in touch with your femininity. The fragrance of this Haitian root is softened by the delicate, stress-eroding ylang ylang flower and lifted with a trace of cheerful lemon. Lie back and bask in this Bathquake’s womanly wiles.
