5 Big Handmade Soaps - Long-lasting

---

Pick any 5 individual big soap bars (each about 4 – 4.4 oz / 120g-ish) ~ cold process, made by scratch.

Australian buyers please note some of the scents (with “plant” material) can’t be shipped to you as Australian customs will quarantine and only release for a steep price. Sometimes they incorrectly confiscsate soaps without any plant material so soaps with names which have no plant material but which might suggest there is will be renamed/relabeled.

Choose 5 of the following scents – all vegan except Yummy (contains honey) – please indicate an alternate with your order as I produce small batches and may run out of a scent without much notice:

Pomegranate Lime The sweetness of pomegranate balanced by the tartness of lime. This soap was inspired by one of my lip balm flavors. Not overly sweet, unisex.

.

OCV™ Sweet orange, vanilla and clove merge into a warm scent. For those familiar with my other OCV™ products, the soap version melds the scents more. Tan with orange swirls.

Pumpkin Pie Yummy. Like Pumpkin pie, without the calories. Darn near edible.

Luscious Lavender not available for shipment to Australia CURRENTLY SOLD OUT I am not a big fan of straight lavender, but I’ve done a little mixing with some other essential oils and I love the resulting scent in this soap – I’ve converted a number of “non-lavender” types with this scent. A blend of essential oils, yielding lavender with a hint of sweet woodsiness & a breath of citrus. Not your ordinary lavender. Lavender buds on this batch. Unisex.

Exotic Spicy Fig™ This complex blend evokes sensuous exotic scents with fleeting top notes of orange touching middle notes of ginger, cinnamon, cloves, figs & caraway. Rounding the blend are hints of sandalwood, myrrh and a breath of vanilla. A perfect blend of woods, sweet and spice. Soft and alluring, unisex (seriously, universally-loved). Unisex. Color – tan.

White Tea & Yuzu A crisp, green combo of slightly sweetened white tea, ginger and the Japanese citrus. A “green” citrus scent. White clay added for added smoothness. Color – greyish off-white with pale green swirls (photo coming soon).

Blue

GASP. OMG. One of me new scents. I gladly would roll around in this all day long. It’s a wonderful unisex blend of green citrus, ginger, licorice, patchouli, lavender, coriander, cedar, tonka bean with a whiff of caramel and vanilla. Muted midnight blue swirl imparted by a mix of coconut charcoal and mineral pigment. I am so obsessed with this scent – which happens to me rarely – I took the last bar for sale and it’s in my shower. Everyone will have to wait for the curing batch. mmmmmm, serious olfactory orgasm here.

Tea Tree Oil Tea Tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) oil has had long use as a purported natural antiseptic (antibacterial and antifungal) and some medical research supports its effects on a number of critters. It’s found commonly in soaps and other products for use for blemish-prone and other problematic skin. I have oily skin, prone to break-outs and use this soap on my face. I formulated this soap for normal to oily skin. It is plain ol’ soap – the above info is educational and is not meant to be medical advice. For the latest batch, I’ve incorporated some French Green clay for nice sage/olive swirls (photo coming soon).

Citrus Patchouli CURRENTLY SOLD OUT I am not overly fond of straight patchouli but sweet orange and lemony notes tone it down and adds depth. Unisex.

Rustic Vanilla A classic sophisticated vanilla with a round, creamy scent. No cloying sweetness here – just an adult vanilla.

White Tea & Ginger Crisp, fresh, clean and light.

Ginger Souffle Loosely based on Origins’ scent of the same name. A blend of fresh citrus and cool mint top notes with a spicy warm heart of clove, cardamom, ginger and cinnamon leaf with rich vanilla base notes supporting the blend. Slight sweetness toned down with lime essential oil – kind of foody to my nose. This scent is popular with both sexes – a lot of guys love it which initially surprised me.

Bay Rum A sexy masculine scent. No need to be more articulate than that. The men who use it love it, others love the scent on their men. I don’t know if this is pheromone in a soap but it sure smells like it. Masculine but not an overly strong scent.

Buckland CURRENTLY SOLD OUT Sexy. Masculine. Green. Romp through the English countryside with its moss and brooks – fresh green top notes of wood, ambergris, leaves and verbena overlay a base of oakmoss and the fresh scent shortly after it rains. Masculine.

Oatmeal Milk & Honey not available for shipment to Australia

One of my most popular scents, with added ground oats for mild exfoliating scrubbing action. Very comforting foody scent.

Mojito not available for shipment to Australia

Wonderfully fragrant from my blend of essential oils with notes of lime, rum & mint with a breath of spiciness. Dill weed adds interesting visual texture.

Romp Through The Woods not available for shipment to Australia

Another one of my essential oil blends – very earthy – it reminds me of being in the woods after a rain – scents of wood, a undefinable hint of flowers & freshness in the breeze. Unisex to masculine.

Mint-E CURRENTLY SOLD OUT A very refreshing perky blend. Eucalyptus essential oil rounds the sharpness of the peppermint notes. I am not fond of either scent alone but love this combo.

Haru Happiness My own blend of essential oils resulting in a complex scent with ginger notes predominating. I originally intended on calling this scent “green mutt” because it has so many essential oils with a base of ginger and lime but with a little of almost everything else . . . That name was too undignified though. For the ginger-lover.

Pacific Zen not available for shipment to Australia

My own blend of citrus & rosemary essential oils with added clay and ground kelp. The ocean meets the woods kind of thing. I love this complex scent. Unisex to masculine – leaning more towards masculine.

Chant An earthy exotic scent with fleeting top citrus notes; lavender, spicy and pine middle notes and anchored with an earthy, woodsy base. The colors of saffron monk robes with a splash of brickish red from a seed extract and mineral oxide pigment. On the heavy, earthy side, unisex.

Blackberry Sage Darn near edible, but please don’t even THINK about licking it because I guarantee, it will taste nasty – for external use only. Hm, my olfactory senses detect predominant notes of juicy blackberry (yeah, the ones with thorns, but like an idiot, you are tempted to walk into the bush because the fruit is so tasty) and only minor sage/herbal notes.

Basmati & Incense Smells like incense my buddhist grandmother used to burn, but with a twist – as if there were a bowl of basmati rice next to it. Hm, I’ll have to articulate this better but for now, that’s the best description I can think of . . .

Licorice Mint CURRENTLY SOLD OUT aka Fisherman’s or Hunter’s soap. The lore behind that is either because anise (licorice) scent is reported to be great at camoflaging less desirable scents (yeah, going fishing gets people stinky, if only from the bait) or because the scent attracts fish (I’m more dubious of this one). In any case, this soap is strongly scented with licorice predominating over mint. The mint tempers the Licorice a bit, a nice combo. The current batch is swirled with ground black poppyseeds. Unisex but very popular with the guys.

Touch of Velvet CURRENTLY SOLD OUT A strong, masculine scent with top notes of citrus, followed by cedar, sandalwood, vetiver; warmed by notes of musk and a breath of amber. Masculine.

Chai Tea Spice Blend Notes of clove and cinnamon predominate with a hint of vanilla and coconut and a breath of floral.

Exotic Tea not available for shipment to Australia

Reminiscent of Lapsang Souchong, with an assertive and bold aroma of smoked tea, oak and other earthy wood scents. Flecked with tea leaves.

Raspberry Sorbet Crisp, tart. Colored a raspberry-ish color with mineral oxides and rose clay.

Pink Bubble Gum(LTD run, won’t be a regular) I tested this on a whim and expected to hate it as I haven’t been in my Bubble Gum years for a while. But this soap has really grown on me – yep, smells just like pink bubblegum, the stuff which makes your jaws hurt after 5 minutes of chewing. Colored a mauvish deep pink with the addition of rose clay and mineral oxides. I couldn’t bring myself to try to make it bright pink – too much to use before my morning caffeine fix.

Fresh Laundry Well, it smells of fresh laundry – a bit of the sunny meadow with babbling brook going on . . . Unisex

Pink SugarLtd Run CURRENTLY SOLD OUT A sweet scent with notes of cotton candy, vanilla, and caramel predominating, supported by notes of musk and topped with a HINT of fruit (you’d probably not realize except I just stated it). DARN NEAR EDIBLE but please don’t.

unnamed soap(I have think of a good one)

Sweet Tea Fruit and sweetened tea scent.

Carmel The fresh, cool scent of the ocean breeze on the beach. Unisex.

CocoLime Tart lime notes sweetened a tad with coconut notes. Also inspired by my lip lube scent/flavor of the same name.

Vernal Breeze This is a clean, crisp, fresh scent, not overpowering and not too light but on the lighter side. The scent reminds me of walking through a garden on a spring day with a gentle breeze carrying a waft of fresh air, citrus, herbs, lavender and plain ol’ sunshine (bet you didn’t realize sunshine was scented). I find the blend very relaxing, very spa-like.

Daydream A soft feminine blend with notes of citrus, a whiff of tempting figs overlay the warmth and softness of vanilla, anchored with the seductive potential of musk. Colored with a pink swirl from clay.

Zesty Woodland Name says it all – citrus notes atop notes of cedar and eucalytpus. This is scented more strongly than usual with essential oils. I think it would make a nice, fresh scent for the kitchen as well as the shower.

Just Came From The Spa Fresh tangy blend with notes of green tea, air, citrus and light fruit.

Get Lucky not available for shipment to Australia CURRENTLY SOLD OUT So named because when I first sniffed this, I thought of a comment made by one of my buyers – that her husband was going to get lucky that night after using the soap. Different soap but same thought crossed my mind. MMM – can’t wait until it’s ready for release.

Chamomile Tea not available for shipment to Australia Scented only with ground chamomile flowers. If you like the scent of chamomile tea and tend towards sensitive skin, you might want to try this soap.

Yummy not available for shipment to Australia CURRENTLY SOLD OUT It smells good enough to eat, reminds me of cookies dough (but please don’t eat it or even lick it, it will taste disgusting). This natural soap gets it’s yummy scent from honey, oats, cocoa and a whopping 10% unrefined cocoa butter. A good alternative for people who may be sensitive to even known essential oils.

Stroke Me OK, so I’m being slightly tongue::in::cheek. But this scent made me think warm and strokable. Warm scents of musk, amber, sandalwood and a touch of vanilla, contains fragrance. I don’t particularly like any of those scents alone but this blend ROCKS. Unisex.

Dragon’s Blood CURRENTLY SOLD OUT Rustic, dark & sensual aroma of incense, amber and patchouli, with a hint of vanilla. Mild mechanical exfoliation with a bit of ground blueberry fiber (the darker brown on top. Unisex to masculine.

Step Away From My Coffee Pretty descriptive of how I feel before my morning fix. Yeah, you heard right, I am not in a good mood until I’ve had my morning fix and even then, I might growl if anyone got near my brew. Sweet, of course. Contains real coffee grounds for mild exfoliation and which are also good to “clear” scents. Think of those perfume bars with the coffee beans to cleanse the olfactory senses before you sniff another scent. Perfect for a morning shower.

Trimethylxanthine Is My Friend aka Black Coffee Less sweet than its counterpart, Step Away From My Coffee. With added coffee grounds.

S’mores not available for shipment to Australia Marshmallow and chocolate smushed between graham crackers, Soap-style.

Winter Pines um, like pines

Best Frosted Egg Nog Rum Cake Ever Yeah, that’s the name. The name says it all about the scent – no eating though (yucky!)

Oh, Grape! I was blending for a wine soap but the grape came through.

Grassy Knoll Scented of freshly cut grass which is sure to bring back memories of frolicking in the sun or just laying on the grass, watching the clouds go by. Unisex.
