OBSIDIAN GROVE
Dark Warmth · Sacred Woods
Step into the deep.
Where Forest Meets Firelight
There are fragrances that seem to draw you inward — warm, woody, resinous and quietly mysterious.
Obsidian Grove is that kind of bar.
Inspired by ancient woods illuminated by firelight, it brings together cedarwood and earthy patchouli with the unexpected freshness of spearmint, aromatic anise and the dark softness of vanilla.
Deep and beautifully complex, this is a cleansing ritual that feels less like routine and more like entering a sanctuary.
The Experience
Warm water releases a rich, creamy lather as layers of wood, earth and spice begin to unfold.
Cedarwood provides the warm forest foundation, while patchouli adds earthy depth. Spearmint introduces a cool aromatic lift, anise contributes a subtle thread of spice, and vanilla softens the composition with a dark, enveloping warmth.
The contrasts are what make Obsidian Grove distinctive — warm and cool, earthy and aromatic, dark yet unexpectedly fresh.
The result is an immersive cleanse that leaves skin feeling soft, conditioned and subtly scented.
The Aroma
Warm Cedar · Dark Vanilla · Resinous Earth · Cool Spice
Deep, mysterious and beautifully enveloping — the scent of ancient woods illuminated by candlelight.
Crafted With
Olive Oil · Coconut Oil · Shea Butter · Kaolin Clay · Cedarwood Essential Oil · Patchouli Essential Oil · Spearmint Essential Oil · Anise Essential Oil · Premium Phthalate-Free Vanilla Fragrance
A nourishing plant-oil base creates a beautiful, creamy lather, while mineral-rich kaolin clay adds a silky quality to the cleansing experience.
The aromatic composition layers pure essential oils of cedarwood, patchouli, spearmint and anise with a touch of vanilla fragrance, creating one of the deepest and most intriguing expressions in the Candescent Collection.
The Ritual
Lather between wet hands or directly onto wet skin. Allow the aromatics to unfold in the warmth and steam of the water, breathe deeply, cleanse, and rinse thoroughly.
Reach for Obsidian Grove when you want to slow the pace and turn an ordinary shower into something darker, warmer and more atmospheric.
Each generously sized 140 g bar is cured for a full eight weeks, creating a firm, long-lasting bar designed to be enjoyed slowly.
Lather. Ground. Go Within.
The Intention
Candescent Cleanse Bars were created around a simple idea: something we do every day can become something more intentional.
Obsidian Grove is an invitation to step into the deep — to slow down, turn inward and allow the warmth of woods, earth and spice to transform an ordinary act of cleansing into a moment of quiet ceremony.
A little firelight. A little mystery. A moment in the sacred woods.

To balance this, our US soap bar prices are reduced. Our bath and body bundles are not affected and ship at our standard US rates. All US duties are already included in our prices, so there is nothing more to pay on delivery.

Let customers speak for us
from 89 reviewsI was just mentioning today about the new " winter solstice " Candle I had received - and how unique the soft blend of pleasant, fragranced cocoa nut and apricot was - and I absolutely loved the unique combined fragrances .
I am such a huge fan of Inner Candescence products! I've ordered and re-ordered their amazing candles (the scents last forever); the bath salts and soaps (such lovely scents and I wish they were even stronger, but that's just my love for these inspired scents and how they make me feel); the room sprays (I find I can't live without using these in my home, now. My favorite scents are the Celestial bloom and Forest bathing); and now, the wonderful new fragrance collection of Eu de toilettes! I bought the Discovery set of sample bottles, and each one is not only uplifting for me and the people around me, but swoon worthy!
I also love the scented lotions and am still using my first bottle of Celestial Bloom scent.
Finally, I have purchased several canvas prints in many sizes. I truly feel that as soon as I open them up and look at them, I feel such a high vibrational field emanating from them. I have "The Crystalline Heart" and the "Unity Field Healing template" in my meditation room; and gracing my living room is the stunning deep colored Lotus in a nice large size, as well as the lighter colored Lotus in a medium size in my bedroom.
Being surrounded by and interacting with all of these amazing products that are clean and handmade with such loving care has been healing and joyful for me as well as so uplifting and calming. They are a visual and energetic blessing for all of the 5 senses and for making my home a true sanctuary!
I have enjoyed exploring the Discover set. However, I am having a difficult time finding the ONE. So, I will continue to play around with them. I seem to be going more by the name than the scent. Which is my problem. So, I will continue. Wrapped beautifully, arrived in great shape. Thanks for putting this together. Keep on, keeping on with this great new adventure.
Shopping experience always faultless; the care obvious.
Enjoying my second Celestial Bloom Lotion! Perfect ingredients and the perfume is perfect for me.
Aqua Solace is an absolutely gorgeous candle — fresh, clean and beautifully scented without ever becoming overpowering. I especially love knowing that it’s hand-poured using coconut-apricot wax, a cotton wick and phthalate-free fragrance rather than the toxic ingredients found in so many mass-produced candles. The quality really shows in the way it burns: clean, even and remarkably long-lasting. I’ve burned mine for hours at a time and am genuinely impressed by how slowly it disappears while still filling the room with this beautiful, fresh scent. It feels luxurious, lasts beautifully, and has quickly become one of those candles I never want to be without.
I have extremely sensitive skin, so finding a soap that cleans well without leaving my skin feeling dry, tight or irritated isn’t always easy — these bars have been an absolute find. They’re incredibly gentle, create a beautiful creamy lather, and leave my skin feeling genuinely soft and clean rather than stripped. I love the different scents, but what impresses me most is how luxurious and nourishing the bars feel while still being gentle enough for my skin. I’ve actually started using them in my hair as well, and love how clean and soft it feels afterward! These have completely changed what I expect from a bar of soap, and I honestly can’t imagine going back to ordinary commercial soap.
Ocean of Stars is unlike any fragrance I’ve worn before — fresh and clean, but with a beautiful warmth and depth that makes it incredibly unique. I love that it’s alcohol-free, because there’s none of that harsh initial alcohol scent; you notice the fragrance itself right away. It has this gorgeous balance of fresh, earthy and subtly woody notes that feels sophisticated without being overpowering. I’ve found myself reaching for it every day and I absolutely love the way the scent develops after it’s been on my skin for a while. If you’re looking for something truly different from the typical department-store fragrance, (and many, MANY compliments) Ocean of Stars is absolutely worth trying
Always sent efficiently, quickly and as care-filled as the products are made. What a joy they are to receive and use!
I bought Ancient Ground as a gift but have been so beguiled by it I have kept it fas a light and lovely companion to the UFH Essence which I have always used. So I had to buy another for my Gift!
The whole process of ordering and all associated communication was so thoughtful and kind! The item arrived quickly, well and attractively packaged with little a lovely note that made the experience feel very personalized. I really appreciated the extra touches!
This is the most lovely fragrance imaginable! A blend of scents that’s both calming and alluring. Just like its name (between worlds) you can’t quite put your finger on what it consists of but the combination really works! It lasts for hours and hours which is amazing! Love it!
I have enjoyed every product that I have purchased from your site. The candles, especially because I cannot manage scented candles from the stores. They don’t work for me. Daily I use the mineral bath salts. I also would like an opportunity to have a face-to-face, maybe a Zoom call with Dr. John Ryan. I was in his class last April and May and it has been life-changing and I would love an address where I could contact him and share thank you Gail Batten.
Customer service was impeccable! Attention to detail. An expression of gratitude from the owner and a gift of a small bar of soap as a token of appreciation as well as an opportunity to experience the product, are gestures that made the experience memorable. Thank you!
