Its turned warm in central Iowa.  And it prompted me to put aside the "winter" soaps and bring forward this small collection of "summer" soaps.
Does anyone else do a seasonal change out?  
And if you do, what is/are your warm season favorites?

I don't swap anything out... All of my soaps sit front and center in the den. I do, however. Gravitate towards certain soaps in the warm weather.

Regarding favorites: (in no particular order) Dr Jon's Savannah Sunrise; Stirling Pearberry; Ethos Greenfresh. I also have a tub of Pucker I've used once. I really enjoyed it, but balk at calling it a favorite after only one use.

The more I think of it, most of my soaps are all season scents, I guess? I probably should grab another soap or two in the warm weather spectrum. Also need to renew my Pearberry, which is down to about an ounce now.

I don’t necessarily rotate the deeper/heavier soaps out of rotation because I enjoy them year round but I do have a few that see more play in the warmer months.  B&M Diamond and Rhapsody, Stirling Menthols, citrus soaps.

For the record: reside GA and am active outdoors year round participating in aerobic sports. 

With older generation soaps, did rotate. These days, the revolution in soap technology has rendered all the top artisanal soaps equally as hydrating and healing as clean rinsing and residue free. Thus no longer am concerned with seasonal rotation

There's only hot sun the whole year at where I am.

I have a loose seasonal swap. Although, there are some I use all year round because I enjoy them so much.  See below:

Fall/Winter                                  Spring/Summer

B&M Fougere Gothic                    Fougere Angelique
AOS Bourbon                              AOS Eucalyptus
B&M Promises                            Various A&E:  Asian Plum, Asian Pear, SoCal Hipster

Year round: B&M Tuesday (only on Tuesdays though), Zingari Man Wanderer, Wholly Kaw Dance of Agrumes.

I am all in on a seasonal changing of the soaps.  

This spring and summer I have been enjoying: DG Mayflower, GD Laundry II, Island Man, A&E St. Barts, RR Don Marco and RR Dead Sea, RR XXX and an occasional Stirling or B&M Bat Rum .  There are probably more that I can't think of right now.

I go all out in Fall and Winter.

I’m pretty much a seasonal soap user. When it’s hot like it has been I’m using soaps. like Peppermint, Greenfresh, Citrus forward and light fresh clean aroma blends like Vetivert. I have been using Bay Rum this summer also. When the cooler weather starts then I’ll use any soap that’s in my den that I feel like using that day. So in the hot weather my selection is much smaller than in the cool weather where it’s a much broader selection.

Floral and clean scents in the summer.
Leather, wood and tobacco in the winter.

I'm afraid I don't understand the "seasonal" thing. I kinda just use what I want when I want to. Being in southern Louisiana, it's always warm so changing things up to match the temperature just doesn't work for me. Besides, I keep my home the same temp year round so changes aren't really needed. But that's just me.
