Our New Scents

Over the past few months, we have been working hard choosing the best possible scents to represent our line of products. We went from over 100 fragrances and narrowed it down to just 5. We couldn't have done it alone, though. With the help of our fans- new customers, old customers, and long time friends, we narrowed our line down to the best-loved 5 and even gave a few of them new names: Forest Floor, Dusk, Lavendula, Wild Berry, and Honey Almond.

We are proud to announce our scents:

FOREST FLOOR:

The inspiration for this scent came from deep within the Appalachian Mountains. Nothing is more beautiful than moistened earth, green trees, and miles upon miles of untouched land. Bring yourself back to the goodness of the outdoors with our Forest Floor products.

DUSK:

Dusk- the moment when daylight turns to night, and the world seems to change in ways we can only feel. The mystery of darkness is the primary inspiration for this classy fragrance. Indulge your body and home in deep masculine notes such as patchouli, amber, and musk. You will never be the same.

LAVENDULA:

Lavender is such a classic in the industry of bath and body, and something we could not complete our product line without. The use of lavender in soaps dates back farther than we can know for certain and is still in popular demand today. We use a unique hybrid blend of two Lavendula species, which provides the best blend of bitter and sweet.

WILD BERRY:

What better joy than coming across a beautifully untouched raspberry bush growing unrestrained. The love and appreciation for fresh ripened fruit brought about this wonderfully sweet fragrance. Hints of vanilla add to the already indulgent notes of berries to complete this fragrance.

HONEY ALMOND:

Instantly brighten your senses and your home with our Honey Almond line of products. There is something wonderfully refreshing about the scent of roasting almonds, warm honey, and heavy cream. Loved by men and women alike- the overcoming power of this fragrance is undeniably comforting. 

Lavender

I am going to have to admit, I always hated lavender. I made products with it because my customers love it, and it consistently sells throughout the year. But I couldn't stand it until recently.
As you may know, I have been taking a lot of time lately to clean up my line of products. One of the first things that needed to be done was selecting which scents I was going to keep. With the help of my customers, friends, family, and coworkers, we narrowed it down to 5 scents. One of those scents, which was ranked highly by most, was of course lavender. I had no intentions of including lavender in the beginning, but in the end I am in the business if making people happy.
At the same time, we were formulating a new soap recipe that we were excited to try. We included two new ingredients one that has not traditionally (or ever) been used in soap before. So I decided to test the soap in a scent I know I could sell or at least give away, if it worked. I used lavender.
That night, I was so excited to use the new soap that I didn't even wait for it to cure. And, it was spectacular! I loved the pure, raw smell of lavender in the shower, and the new formula couldn't have been more perfect. It was almost an 'ah-ha!' Moment- this is why people love it!
This was about a week ago, and I now have this lavender soap in both of my showers, and at every sink.

New soap sizes

Good morning! This is much earlier on a Saturday than I planned to be awake, but being the morning person that I am, here I sit smiling with my cup of coffee (Thank you HSCG for the mug!).

Now on to business... While I know people loved the idea of our smaller soaps for gifts, bathroom displays and for personal use- we are going to be abandoning that idea for now.
We are switching to newer, more efficient soap molds, which requires us to change the size of our soaps. The new soaps are easier to hold, and are larger than our previous 'large' bars.
We would like to include the guest size again in the future, but right now we're taking this one step at a time. Being a full time graduate student, mother of two puppies, and a wife has left me less time than I would like to play around with my products, so I do what I can!
