Gentongan Batik Aromatherapy

Product Details

Criticism from a foreign tourist (from Australia) regarding the overpowering scent of the “Aroma Malam” / “Lilin Kain Batik Baru” batik fabric inspired Warisatul Hasanah to innovate and create fragrant, high-quality batik fabrics. She empowered Madurese women to produce a variety of batik fabrics that blend the scents of sandalwood, agarwood, cloves, jasmine, and champaca, making them suitable for both men and women.

The batik fabrics feature distinctive Maduran batik motifs, naturally dyed using the “gentongan” technique—which involves soaking the primissima fabric in a container called a “ghentong.” This process ensures the batik retains its aromatic spice scent for several years and develops increasingly vibrant colors over time. With the vision “To bring honor to Indonesia’s name worldwide through aromatherapy batik,” these fabrics are available in both long-length and shawl sizes, making them ideal for fashion products.

The Philosophy of the Oget-Oget Motif: This motif symbolizes the process of transformation and the dynamic, ever-changing nature of life, teaching the wearer to always be vigilant, self-aware, and adaptable in facing life’s ever-changing dynamics. This hand-drawn batik is named “Gentongan” because the patterned fabric is soaked in a gentong (a large clay container) for months or even years using natural dyes. This technique makes the colors of Maduran batik—such as red, green, yellow, and blue—extremely rich and bold, and their luster becomes even more brilliant over time.
