Hinoki, also known as Japanese cypress or “king of the woods,” is used to build sacred buildings in Japan as well as Japanese bathhouses and onsen (hot-spring baths). It makes sense that Tatcha would use the scent of hinoki for the Forest Awakening collection, which is inspired by the practice of forest bathing. Scent was the first thing that drew me to the Tatcha body wash - hinoki, a scared Japanese wood, is quite possibly my favorite smell of all time. If a product doesn’t smell good, I’m probably going to kick it out of my shower rotation. While of course the efficacy of a product is my number one concern, scent is also super important, especially when you’re in a small space. That being said, the new Tatcha Forest Awakening Hinoki Body Wash ($40) is definitely something I prioritize in my shower routine, and it’s front and center in my little caddy. This also means that I only have room to store my most essential products - I’m not going to waste precious bathing space on beauty products I’m not actually going to use. (Seriously, it’s smaller than you’d think possible.) So, I do everything I can to elevate my shower experience and transport me into some other, much larger space.
