Ladies, don't rule these scents out for yourself. Some of our very favorites are on this page. As always, bear in mind that our soaps are made in small batches - the soap you receive might not look exactly like the pictures here.

ANISE - at last! People have been asking us to make this for the hunters and fishermen in their lives. The smell is supposed to fool the animals. OK, fine. We like it because it smells like those awesome Italian waffle cookie things. This soap is a beautiful white with swirls of pale gray dead sea mud woven throughout. Finally, hunters, fisherman, food-lovers and PETA member have something they can agree on!
BAY RUM - :::::::::heavy sigh::::::::: this is our hands down favorite smell. We live in FL so our sense of vacation is a bit skewed, but this is a vacation smell to us. It's retro, it's masculine but not macho and oh so delicious.
DOWN by the SHORE - This soap reminds us of our misspent youth on the Jersey Shore. (No, it does not smell like Bruce Springsteen - though we're sure he's a fine-smelling person.) This soap will make you think of salty breezes and ocean spray. It makes us smile every time we sniff it, which is often. Bring a piece of the shore to your house!
DRAGONSBLOOD - yep. It's a real plant. And this soap is what it smells like. Trust us when we tell you that little boys love to bathe in Dragonsblood. Whatever it takes. It's a gentle, herbal scent. Surprisingly mild for the name. If you don't believe us, come on over and smell our kids.
LINDEN GREEN TEA - We love this new scent. Green tea is always good in soap, but the addition of Linden makes this really special. It's in the manly department because it really defiies gender. Our husband keeps this one in his gym bag and can often be found sneaking around for loose soap "ends" to use in the shower.
SAGE LEMONGRASS - This is a new one. It's awesome. The blend of the two strong smells is in perfect balance. If you've been leery of sage in the past, this is a great introduction to this cleansing scent. You'll be hooked after the first shower.
SAGUINO ORANGE & PATCHOULI - Stop it right now. You do NOT hate patchouli. You just hate facing it head-on and it might remind you of your years spent as a hippy. But, patchouli skillfully blended with other scents is delightful and unrecognizable. We'd say ask our husband who thinks he hates patchouli, but we don't want to let the cat out of the bag. He asked us to bring this scent back. He's never done that. The citrus blend is outstanding.
