It’s really important to love your soap. It’s one of those daily necessities that can turn a routine into a ritual. For this very reason, I have secured a few months supply of my favorite soap—Fratelle Carli Saponetta:
Now I buy it by the box!
I came across this wonderful lemon, herb and olive oil–scented soap quite by accident several years ago while rummaging through a sale area of a local Italian supermarket. I was instantly addicted to its amazing scent—which, incidentally, is how I think all men should smell after a shower—and used it up very quickly. Unfortunately, the supermarket I bought it from was out of business when I went back to stock up! So, like any obsessed consumer, I kept the wrapper in my dresser for years to help me remember the brand if I were to see it again.
Fast forward a few years: While browsing the amazing produce at Harvest Wagon in Rosedale and as if I was a bloodhound in search of the fallen rabbit, my nose lead me to my beloved Fratelle Carli Saponetta! It could have been the happiest day of my soap-loving life. Never again would I have to smell mass market.
I hope you have a soap that gives you this much pleasure on a daily basis. If you do, could you tell me what it is? I’d love to know.

I do exactly the same if I find something that I really like. I keep the wrapper until I can track it down again. My fave (and still searching for) is Confianca Soaps out of Portugal. Since I can't find it, my go-to in its place is Mistral soaps from France; simply divine!

One of my favorite soaps is by Lush - "Honey I Washed the Kids"
I just love the light honey scent it gives and - as you know - I am not a big fan of scents or perfumes so I tend to rely on subtly scented soaps and body washes to do the trick for me!
I did also pick up a nice bar soap from Winners awhile ago, it was Lavender scented and made with Olive Oil which was amazing but I'm sure it was probably stale... do soaps get stale? I'm not sure, but who knows how long it was sitting around before being placed on Winners shelves Haha! (I think I need some help in this department...)
I love this soap too and can no longer buy it direct from Italy as the company won't supply me in the UK .. gutted :(
