Founded by Sharmadean Reid, 39BC is rooted in a cultural and intellectual approach to beauty. Reid draws on a deep interest in global bathing traditions, history, and ritual to reframe the act of cleansing — not as routine, but as a deliberate moment of restoration. Her perspective merges function with meaning, creating a brand that is as much about experience and environment as it is about the skin itself.

What defines 39BC is its ability to translate history into scent — most powerfully expressed through Vol. I: Alexandria. Each formula is not just a cleanser, but a narrative, anchored in the decade-long alliance of Cleopatra and Mark Antony and the cultural shift that reshaped the ancient world. The four oils act as chapters within this story — each one capturing a distinct moment, perspective, and emotion, from power and anticipation to desire and withdrawal. Cleopatra and Mark Antony become olfactory references rather than historical figures, transformed into scent, texture, and ritual. The result is a collection that functions as a sensory archive — where cleansing becomes immersive, and each use reconnects the body to a deeper, almost mythological narrative of water, power, and intimacy.
