Just opened a new pack of shield and it's hasn't got any scent at all. Either a crappy batch from the factory or this timeline has taken another dark turn for the worse.
So I'm in the market for a nice, fresh smelling soap. Suggestions?
Dr Bronner’s Pure-Castile soap. Perfect all-in-one soap (hair and body…. Teeth too if you’re not particular about the taste of soap). Nice peppermint scent is available.
Friend of mine got covid and it just sent her sense of smell completely out of whack. Nothing smelled like it did before. A curry smelled like wet trees, she said. My leathery / amber perfume smelled like talcum powder to her. It was so weird!
I typically use Faith in Nature shower gels and get refills. I'll often go for aloe vera or teatree or similar, neither of which have much of a smell at all, but they do a blue cedar, I think it is, and a lavender and geranium which are both pleasant and rather more noticeable. The l&g is a bit too floral for my preference though.
To be honest, I will often just go with whatever the refill shop I am passing next happens to have to hand these days, which is quite often not Faith in Nature at all.
Faith in Nature soap bars, usually. Currently a coconut-flavoured one, although I’m not really fussed about the scent of something that is only briefly going to be in contact with me and then be washed down the plughole.
Honestly, I'd plumb the depths of nostalgia with these, find some of the stuff you used to use as a kid. Imperial leather, Badedas, whatever it is. It's a cheap and fun way to really evoke some memories, smell is so powerful.
I'm a degenerate crafter and will try my hand at pretty much anything. After a brief obsession with soapmaking a couple of years back, we now have shoeboxes full of the stuff that will probably last us a lifetime.
