The six scents

A Bale order wrapped in a coffee sack and tied with twine, opened beside a box of six minis and a handwritten card

Carried across the world

Where the sacks come from

Before a coffee sack reaches a roaster, it has already been on a long trip. It is filled where the coffee grows, stamped with where it came from, loaded onto a ship and carried across an ocean. Once the beans are out, the sack has done its job.

I have a pile of them. Red, green and blue stamps, country names, numbers and marks from places I have never been, and no two the same.

So I give each one a second trip. I cut them by hand and wrap every order in one, tied with natural twine, with a card inside that tells you where in the world your sack started out. Nobody picks theirs, so every order arrives a little different.

It is packaging and story, not a scent: none of the six smells of coffee.

Why a coffee sack belongs with this jar

A coffee sack is built to carry something people care about, a long way, without fuss. That is what I wanted from Bale: a scent that travels with you, 12+ hours on most skin, and is still there when someone gets close.

The six scents are built around notes with roots all over the map: saffron, oud, bergamot, black tea, pepper, vanilla. The sacks come from all over the map too. It felt right that they arrive together.

What the jar fixes

Cologne is made to fill a room, and by lunch most of it has gone. A good bottle costs about $325. Pheromone colognes and scented creams promised something closer. A common worry is that the scent fades in an hour or two, the cream sits greasy, or a subscription shows up on the card.

Bale is a body butter, not a spray. One scoop on damp skin after a shower absorbs in about a minute with no shine, and the scent stays on you for 12+ hours on most skin. It is pheromone-infused and made for up close: the hug at the door that lasts a second longer, a slow dance in the kitchen, her leaning in to ask what you are wearing. Then she asks about the sack.

A second life, then yours

The sack around your order is reused, not new. It started out carrying coffee, now it carries your jar, and after that it is yours: wrap a gift in it, cover a plant pot, hang it on the wall, or keep it as the start of a collection. Burlap is woven from jute, a plant fiber, and it only gets better with wear.

Every order comes from a different sack, so your next one will not look like your first. Some people come back for the scent. Some come back to see where the next sack is from.

Quick answers

Does the pheromone actually do anything?

We do not promise it makes anyone want you, and we never will. It is in there for the moments up close. What people notice first is the scent, and that part you can judge for yourself. If it is not for you, the 30-day money-back guarantee covers it.

Will it leave my skin greasy?

No. It absorbs in about a minute and leaves no shine. Use a small amount, rub it in, and give it that minute before you get dressed.

Is there a subscription?

Only if you choose one. Subscription is optional and off unless you turn it on, so ordering once means ordering once.

What you can count on

The scent lasts 12+ hours on most skin, and longest on damp skin after a shower.

There is no subscription unless you choose one. A one-time order is the default.
