a better sauna session with goods for heat and steam
the starboard north approach to heat + steam
Most sauna essential oils aren’t actually made for sauna conditions. Retail essential oils are made for home diffusers and in a sauna, they rise quickly, spike, then disappear. Used correctly, scent should move with the heat, settle into the air, and remain as the room builds.
A sauna fan to shape Heat
When looking for sauna accessories to add to your experience, a sauna fan is a necessary tool. A sauna fan doesn’t add heat, it directs it. Bringing warmth down from above. Carrying steam through the space. Creating a more even, responsive room.
When both come together
The room changes. Heat feels fuller. Steam moves with intention. Scent settles instead of disappearing. It’s not more intense. It’s more controlled.

This aromatherapy blend set is designed to be used following the natural progression of a sauna session. Each blend is made with pure essential oils and formulated for how they behave in heat and steam.
The Three Bottle Set Includes:
1. OPENING
Bright citrus lifts first, clean and optimistic, before settling into soft woods and gentle resin.
Top notes: Fresh orange peel, light citrus lift
Heart notes: Soft woods, gentle resin, quiet warmth
Base notes: Dry cedar, subtle frankincense structure
Overall impression: Clean brightness that opens the air and prepares the room.
2. MIDDLE
This is the heart of the ritual. Deep, earthy notes anchor the scent while resin and soft woods keep it refined and calm.
Top notes: Muted citrus, faint lift that fades quickly
Heart notes: Frankincense resin, warm wood, mineral depth
Base notes: Barely-there patchouli and vetiver, dry and grounded
Overall impression: Steady, centered heat with resin-forward depth and stone-like calm.
3. CLOSING
Wood and resin come forward here, rounded by a subtle warmth and just enough brightness to keep the blend from feeling heavy.
Top notes: A restrained touch of citrus lifts briefly, like cool air moving through trees.
Heart notes: Cedarwood and soft woods dominate, evoking dense forest and damp bark as the heat peaks and begins to taper.
Base notes: A quiet, grounding finish with trace earth and wood that lingers lightly without clinging.
How to Use

A blend of pure essential oils crafted specifically to experience in the heat and steam of a sauna. This essential oil blend opens clean and crisp, then softens into warm resin and smooth wood as the steam builds. There’s a cool-hot contrast that feels invigorating without being sharp.
Top notes: Clear peppermint rises quickly in the steam, crisp and refreshing without sharp menthol bite.
Heart notes: Resin and soft woods temper the mint, keeping the cooling effect smooth and controlled.
Base notes: A faint grounded warmth remains beneath the cooling notes, preventing the blend from feeling cold or medicinal.

For sauna heat and steam circulation. This handcrafted aufguss fan is designed to move heat, steam, and scent through the sauna during a session.
Used after water and essential oils are introduced to the stones, the fan helps distribute rising steam evenly, shaping how heat is felt and how scent settles in the room. The motion is controlled and deliberate, allowing the sauna to warm gradually rather than all at once.
This fan is intended for traditional sauna use, whether for solo sessions or guided aufguss-style practice.

Made for Heat. Designed to Linger.
In perfumery, scent is built in layers. Not everything is meant to appear at once. Some elements lift quickly. Others develop more slowly. Some remain after everything else fades.
That same approach is used here.
Each blend is structured to move through the room:
Opening lift
Settling into warmth and depth
Finishing soft and persistent
Because in a sauna, what matters isn’t just what you smell first
it’s what stays.
