I’m going to sit out this month, so don’t send me a smush!

Moon Soaps - Koa Mahina

Koa Mahina, which translates to “Warrior Moon” in Hawaiian, captures the strength and mystery of the jungle beneath moonlit skies.

Scent Notes: Koa Mahina is a blend of Teakwood, Santal, Cedar, Sandalwood, Amyris, Coconut, Benzoin, Tonka Bean, Cardamom, and Coconut Milk

I have a shocking amount of samples but only a few tubs outside of a variety of Tabac soaps and an old puck of Old Spice. Don’t laugh. :)

Stirling Soap Co. - Noble Man

Noble Man is a true aquatic scent with the main accords being sea salt and citrus. Based on Creed’s Millesime Imperial, Noble Man is a blast of freshness infused with hints of blackcurrant and violet almost like a mineral water infused with fruit flavor but not the concentrated juice. As it dries down, its fruit and floral accords take over from the citrus leaving it sweet and subtly candy-like, while still maintaining a clean and cool masculinity. Creed is the master of using new types of fruits in its bouquets and Noble Man is no exception. A calm, subtle and gentlemanly melange which could be worn anytime, anyplace, although more seductive scents may be found for date night.

Stirling Soap Co. - Destination Unknown

Destination Unknown is a limited edition holiday release inspired by the iconic Versace Eros. The scent keeps very close to the original, and is a sweet iteration of a fougere which is at the same time fruity, warm, and complex. Eros is a favorite of both men and women and is a sophisticated and alluring scent which is perfect for a night out or a formal event, but may be a little too provocative for the office or a casual meetup with friends. Perfect for date night.

Saponificio Varesino Tundra Artica

They say:

The name derives from the geographical area called Arctic Tundra, where the vegetable additives used in this soap find their natural habitat:

• the Icelandic lichen (soothing, purifying, antibacterial, calming)
• the cranberry (suitable for sensitive skin, soothing and toning, gives freshness and vitality).

The scent is a very nice, a bit subdued oud, but I have not found a clear description. They say:

Fragrance: to recall the environment of the Arctic Tundra, we relied on the Agar Wood fragrance but harmonized to convey a feeling of open, fresh spaces and with a markedly woody perception of shrubs.
