Ok so this has been planned for a while now and it’s time to get things going. On April 8th 2024 there will be a total eclipse of the sun and Rochester NY is the largest city to be in the path of totality for this duration in proximity to major cities like NYC and Boston on the east coast. In fact, Rochester has been named one of the best cities to watch the 2024 eclipse by National Geographic, Fodor's and Thrillist. Hotels and Air B&B’s etc are booking up as the city expects thousands of people to come to get a good view of the solar eclipse. I’m doing a one time collectors edition run of the Shave Soap, Skin Food Splash and a Bath Bar Soap. These will sold as sets only  and will also include a pair of  ISO 12312-2 compliant and CE certified eclipse glasses. 

So I have some strong ideas on the scent but I want to  hear some suggestions from you and even more importantly “ a name for the scent “ and if we use the scent and the name you get a full set or if you come up with just the scent or just the name of the scent we end up picking you get a full set. So it’s possible to have 2 winners if one picks out the scent and another picks out a great name for the scent. If I don’t see anything suggestions on the scent and go with one of the ones that I’m thinking of using then there will be just one winner who comes up with just the name of the scent. An I will use one of the names for sure  There’s not a lot of time so I’ll pick a winner on Monday morning at 10 am EST. 

There’s just a couple of simple rules. You  can post up to 3 scents and 3 names BUT YOU HAVE TO QUOTE THIS POST to keep it going as all it takes is one post unrelated to this one ( example) like a SOTD or some product question post to make this contest post not seen especially if the post starts a new page so make sure to quote this post! 

The label seen below is what we are going with and there will be some special packaging for this release/ set. 

So let the contest begin!

Praesagium: Foreboding in Latin (I hope, lol)

Mors Sola: Death Alone in Latin. Also Mother's Sun in Swedish. Carries an air of 'Death' and 'Sun' in my twisted mind.

Forsaken: The ancient Greeks, I believe, thought of the solar eclipse as a time when the gods were mad at, and had forsaken the world. Again, grain of salt... Google has steered me wrong in the past.


Bonus: Tenebris Lux: Sticking to the theme ... this is Latin for 'light in darkness.'

Thank you all for the picks. Keep them coming! I’m moving the date for the contest to end to Wednesday 10am EST as Monday & Tuesday are going to be crazy busy so it gives you an extra couple of days. Oh and if you want to add more names feel free. Maybe 3 wasn’t enough picks so instead of creating another post just edit the one you already submitted and add more picks as I have to go over all of them anyway.

Have a great weekend!

You are over thinking it.  Just call it "Eclipse".  That's a great name, and you already have the label. 

It should be an evening scent, but easy to wear.   Open with some citrus, like orange, then settle into tobacco and leather, or tobacco and cedar.   You could build on MF, maybe.  I love MF.

It looks like HSSC has a soap called Eclipse, with a similar label. I won't post it, as it feels rude (I don't want to advertise for another provider in Frank's thread). Nonetheless, I'd avoid that name, as it already exists in a similar way.

I like the idea of an evening scent. I don't use scented soaps anymore, but this line of thinking makes sense to me.
