Sandalwood & Amber Haircare by Ecoya | Shampoo, Conditioner & Refills

$39.95

Preorder - please allow up to 10 working days for delivery.

The shower is the one room where fragrance has nowhere to hide, which is exactly what makes this range so satisfying. Ecoya has taken Sandalwood & Amber, one of its most requested scents, and built a shampoo and conditioner around it, so the warmth you already know from the candle now follows you through the morning.

Almond oil does the work underneath the fragrance, leaving hair soft, shiny and properly nourished rather than coated. There is no silicone, no propylene glycol, no parabens and no artificial colours, which is the short version of why hair still feels like hair afterwards. Ecoya describes it as bringing spa-day to your every day, and for once that is not overstating it.

The scent opens bright with ginger, lime, lemon and mandarin, softens through violet and rose, and settles into sandalwood, musk and amber. It is grown-up and unisex, woody rather than sweet, which is part of why it works so well in a shared bathroom.

Should I buy the bottle or the refill?

Start with the 450ml bottle, because the weighted pump and matte finish are made to be left out on the vanity. After that, move to the 1L refill pouch. You get more than double the volume for ten dollars more, and Ecoya puts the saving at 83% less plastic than buying two 450ml bottles, with lower carbon emissions on top. Plenty of our eco friendly regulars buy one bottle and keep two pouches in the cupboard.

Will it suit my hair type?

Yes. This is a gentle everyday shampoo and a light conditioner rather than a treatment system, so it suits most hair types, colour-treated hair included. If your hair runs very dry, use the conditioner through the mid-lengths and ends and leave the roots alone.

How far does the refill system go?

Further than most people expect. Ecoya now offers the 1L pouch across four products in the range, so once you are set up with bottles you can refill your haircare and your bodycare from the same system. Layer it with the matching Ecoya Hand & Body Lotion and the scent carries well past the shower.

As a gift, this one is quietly excellent. A shampoo and conditioner pair covers a housewarming, a milestone birthday or a thank you for someone who hosts a lot, and the refills make a good top-up gift for anyone already loyal to the scent. It is a safe choice for a man in your life too, which is rare in bodycare, so it earns a place in gift ideas for him as easily as it does in gift ideas for her. For a fuller present, pair it with the Ecoya Bathroom Edit Gift Set or add a Madison jar candle in the same fragrance so the whole room reads as one thought.

Browse the full Ecoya range or the wider bathroom collection to build the set.

Why You'll Love It

  • One of Ecoya's signature fragrances, finally in a format you use every single day
  • Almond oil leaves hair soft, shiny and nourished rather than coated
  • No silicone, propylene glycol, parabens or artificial colours
  • Warm woody scent that suits everyone in the house, not just one person
  • The 1L refill uses 83% less plastic than two 450ml bottles and cuts carbon emissions
  • Refill pouches now cover four products in the range, so one system does haircare and bodycare
  • Layers with the matching lotion, hand wash and candle for a properly finished bathroom

Where It Lives Best

Leave the 450ml bottles out in the shower or on the vanity edge. The soft blue-grey finish sits beautifully against white tile, pale timber and unlacquered brass, and it reads as considered rather than cluttered when the pair stand together.

Keep the refill pouches in the cupboard below, not on display. If you want the shelf to look styled, group the two bottles with a folded linen hand towel, a small ceramic dish for rings, and one low candle. Three heights, one colour family, nothing else. In a small bathroom, skip the tray and let the bottles sit directly on the vanity so the surface stays visually open.

In essence

Ecoya's Sandalwood & Amber haircare brings the brand's signature woody fragrance into everyday use, available as a 450ml shampoo or conditioner at $39.95 each, or a 1L refill pouch at $49.95. Both formulas are built on almond oil to leave hair soft, shiny and nourished, and both are free from silicone, propylene glycol, parabens and artificial colours. The scent moves from ginger, lime, lemon and mandarin through violet and rose to sandalwood, musk and amber. The 1L refill uses 83% less plastic than two 450ml bottles and reduces carbon emissions, and the same pouch format now covers four products across the range. Available at Flux Boutique, Mount Maunganui, with New Zealand-wide delivery.

Please feel free to get in touch if you would like us to get a freight quote for you or if you have any queries about international shipping! 

How long will my order take to arrive? 

We aim to dispatch orders within 1-2 working days, then courier is usually overnight for North Island deliveries and 2-3 working days for South Island deliveries. For rural addresses please allow an extra 1-2 working days. We can send overnight to South Island and Saturday deliveries are definitely doable too - just let us know!

If you are needing an order before a specific date, please get in touch with us before you place the order and we'll ensure it is fast tracked for you! 

Can we return products if they're not quite right? 

Sure! We completely understand that sometimes buying online can be tricky and some things need to be seen in-situ for a decision to be made! Unfortunately we're not able to refund items unless they are faulty and no replacements are available, however we are more than happy to issue you a store credit which has no expiry so you can use it any time! We just require you to send it back to us within 7 days of receipt of the order in the original packaging and condition and all swing tags / labels etc still attached. We will process your store credit (of the value of the product excluding shipping costs) as soon as we receive it. Please note, there are some exceptions to this, such as some fragile items, furniture and products on sale. 

We have had an email saying our order is on the way, but it hasn't arrived yet? 

Most orders should get to you the next working day. South Island deliveries can take up to 2-3 working days and rural deliveries can take an extra day or two on top of that. However, occasionally courier companies do make errors and that can lead to a day or two delay. In the dispatch confirmation email and on your order confirmation page on the website (a link to this page is on your order confirmation email) you should be able to see a link to the courier company's website and live tracking updates so you can follow its progress to you - there is also a contact phone number for the courier company on that page should you wish to enquire about the status of your order. 

We haven't received a dispatch confirmation email yet? 

We aim to dispatch orders of in stock items as soon as we can - most of the time that is the same or next working day but occasionally it can take 2-3 days as we are only a small team and some weeks are busier than others. It also pays to double check in the item's products description on the website as some products have shipping times of up to 7-10 working days or occasionally longer for custom made products or products from overseas. We do this on products that we don't carry large quantities of stock of, so that instead of the product showing up as sold out, we leave it up on the website so you're still able to purchase it and we send it out to you as soon as the new shipment of them arrives. 

Do you offer trade discounts? 

We can sometimes offer you a discount if buying a particular product in large quantities, or if buying for a business or commercial fitout. Trade orders must be over $400 and the discount depends on the purchase amount, but feel free to get in touch with us to enquire about this!

I'm not sure which combination of prints to get or what sizes?

We know how hard it can be to pick the right combination of prints for a space, how to arrange them, or what size to get for a specific space. Flick us an email with a photo of the bare wall and a bit of the furniture around the wall, a few measurements of the furniture or wall they're going on (for us to get a sense of scale), and the prints you're tossing up between and we'll superimpose the prints onto the wall to help you envision it! 

Do you offer print framing services? 

We sell frames in A5, A4 and A3 sizes, and we can get A2 and A1 prints professionally framed (but still super affordable) as well. If you want to buy both the print and frame (in A4 or A3 size) we're more than happy to frame it for you, just pop a message to us in the notes box at checkout.
