The Four Quiet Grounds
A Temple Collection of Botanical Space Mysts
 
This listing is for The Four Quiet Grounds, a Winter Earth Element temple collection of botanical space mysts from The heART of Ritual.
 
This four-piece set represents nearly a decade of continuous studio practice, rooted in traditional perfumery, botanical extraction, and the long lineage of consecrated waters used to tend, prepare, and hold space.
 
These space mysts are traditional botanical waters, formulated through resin extraction and hydrosol distillation. They are not essential oil sprays.
 
Across cultures, botanical waters have been used not to perfume the body, but to shape atmosphere – released into the air to consecrate thresholds, prepare rooms for ceremony, and restore spaces after gathering. From temple waters in South and Central Asian traditions, to European herbal and ecclesiastical preparations, this lineage is defined by labour-intensive methods, layered botanical composition, and skilled handling of alcohol and water.
 
Like earlier temple collections, these mysts are composed to support lived practice – but here the emphasis moves outward, toward the tending of space itself.
 
On Craft and Composition
These formulations have been developing since 2015, emerging from long-term work with:
 
traditional resin extractions made with 96% ethanol, working slowly with resins, barks, roots, and plant exudates
hand-distilled botanical hydrosols
pure spring water drawn from a living source and used in the distillation of the hydrosols throughout the collection
 
The use of high-proof alcohol allows for the proper extraction of materials that cannot be expressed through steam alone, while hydrosol distillation preserves the softer, aqueous intelligence of the plants. These elements are then carefully married into constructed botanical waters intended specifically for atmospheric use. This is not decorative fragrance. It is slow, exacting, practitioner-grade work, refined over years rather than assembled for a single season.
 
The Set
The Four Quiet Grounds is presented as a complete practitioner set, containing one of each space myst:
 
TALAMH – Earth
CLOCH – Stone
CNÁMH – Bone
SOLAS – Inner Light
 
Each bottle is finished with hand-applied structural paste in the Winter Earth Element 2025 colourway, creating a tactile, geological surface that anchors the vessel as an object of work rather than a disposable container.  The bottles are intentionally weighty and tactile, designed to be held, returned to, and kept.
 
Each myst is offered in a practitioner-sized measure, intended for long-term studio or temple space use. These formulations are highly concentrated – a few sprays are sufficient, and each bottle is designed to last through many months of regular use.
 
The Four Quiet Grounds
TALAMH – The Deep Ground
Botanical Space Myst – Earth
 
TALAMH is the myst of descent. Built from the deepest layer of the studio scent library, it draws the atmosphere downward – out of agitation and into steadiness. Earth-bound resins, root extractions, and vegetal materials create a grounded, soil-rich composition that anchors a room without heaviness. This is the scent of compressed leaves, damp earth, root fibre, and the quiet mineral warmth that emerges once a space has settled.
 
Intention
Grounding – anchoring – stabilising. TALAMH supports containment and steadiness, helping a space feel held from beneath.
Use 
Mist lightly into still air, corners of rooms, or onto natural materials such as wood, stone, or fibre. One or two sprays are sufficient.
 
CLOCH – The Still Wall
Botanical Space Myst – Stone
CLOCH is a study in mineral restraint and spatial boundary. Dry resins, bark extractions, and cool stone-leaning accords establish clarity and definition within a room. This myst is particularly suited to spaces where many people pass through, or where emotional residue accumulates. It firms the atmosphere without closing it, creating structure without rigidity.
 
Intention
Boundary – clarity – spatial integrity. CLOCH supports protection and definition, allowing a space to hold itself.
Use
Mist at thresholds, doorways, or around the perimeter of a space. Especially effective when resetting a room between uses.
 
CNÁMH – The Ancestral Frame
Botanical Space Myst – Bone
KNOV is built around structure rather than surface. Pale woods, chalky mineral notes, and a restrained warmth drawn from long resin work create an atmosphere of quiet endurance.
This is not a scent of decay, but of what remains – the underlying architecture that supports depth, seriousness, and truth. It lends gravity to a space without weight.
 
Intention
Depth – dignity – endurance. CNÁMH supports reflection, emotional honesty, and sustained presence.
Use
Mist sparingly into still air and allow the myst to settle rather than circulate. Best suited to quiet work, evening spaces, and winter light.
 
SOLAS – The Banked Ember
Botanical Space Myst – Inner Light
SOLAS is composed as warmth without brightness – the glow that remains once the fire has burned low. Softened resins, gentle smoke, and traces of dried citrus peel create an atmosphere of reassurance and ease. This myst restores softness after intensity without undoing depth. It is the closing note of the set – integrative rather than activating.
 
Intention
Restoration – comfort – gentle reassurance. SOLAS supports easing, integration, and a calm return.
Use
Mist lightly into the centre of a room, near a hearth, lamp, or candle. Particularly suited to dusk, evening, and closing work.
 
Working With the Set
The Four Quiet Grounds may be used individually or sequentially:
 
TALAMH – to ground
CLOCH – to define
CNÁMH – to deepen
SOLAS – to restore
 
These botanical waters are not worn on the body. They are released into space, where they shape atmosphere, tone, and threshold. They are not room perfumes, linen sprays, or cosmetic fragrances.
 
Care and Use
As with all alcohol-based botanical waters, avoid direct contact with eyes and open flame. Use with care around delicate surfaces.
