Cucumbers have a long history as personal pampering aids - their juice is cooling and tonic, and they smell of watery refreshment. This cuke-colored soap smells like a freshly sliced cucumber, right down to the tart and slightly acidic rind. No sweetness or melon note here - this is a simple and dead-on cucumber. Wrapped in sheer ribbon spotted with silver "water droplets".

Jurassic Amber
This amber-colored bar has cracks, bubbles, and inclusions like real amber. It also features a (fake, of course) insect trapped inside. The scent is classic and gentlemanly - a bay rum heightened with bergamot and citrus, and grounded with bay leaves and labdanum. Just the kind of old-fashioned aftershave I imagine a turn of the century paleontologist would wear when presenting a large specimen such as this to his colleagues.
$6.00 each
Prep Wash
For when you need to get "operating room" clean. This clear and icy-blue bar contains a plastic 3cc syringe - which makes a great squirt gun in the bathtub once the soap is gone. A fresh, clean, green scent of white tea, spring breezes, and clean air make this soap an interesting conversation piece as well as a refreshing shower experience.
$6.00 each
Red Delicious
I have finally found my ideal apple scent, and this is it. No candy "green apple" here - just the tart, crisp and juicy apple scent of fall orchards. My favorite apples are the tart red and green apples that don't get very big and taste best right off the trees. This soap shimmers with golden flecks, and is wrapped in woven gingham checks.
$6.00 each
Neptune
The smell of the sea is what is represented in this shimmering aqua soap. Top notes of citrus, white florals and water are balanced by salty sea air and green beach grasses. Very clean, spa-like scent approved of by men and women. Wrapped in light blue ribbon and topped with a clear opalescent glass pebble (beach glass, get it?).
6.00 each
Mango & Papaya
The scent of this soap is downright drinkable - please resist the temptation to sneak a lick. Tropical and sweet, this orange bar smells juicy and fresh. Perfect for summertime or any time one needs a whiff of warmer climes. Wrapped in festive ribbon.

Strawberry Preserves
My grandma always makes big batches of strawberry freezer jam every summer. This soap really reminds me of the smell of it - sweet, rich and delicious. The scent is a blend of sugar and red strawberries, and the soap is wrapped in strawberry-printed paper and tied with green ribbon.
$6.00 each
Grape Soda
Bright purple and completely artificial smelling - exactly like the grape soda I craved as a kid (and still do on hot days). Tapioca "bubbles" float to the top and provide a gentle massaging action on the bar. Wrapped in purple tinsel.
