Today it will be 90 degrees here in central Iowa.  And I realized that I don't have a summer soap!

So I ask:  What is your recommendation for a summer soap? Top tier - as in excellent base.  And, please, no menthol.

Thanks

Probably a good choice. If you don't like the smell, you can exchange it for another. Domenic has a great return policy.

Other options that come to mind:

I LOVE Dr Jon's Savannah Sunrise - an awesome Peach and honeysuckle blend that will put a smile on your face. This could be my #1 summer soap.

Stirling has a large selection of soaps for the season (South Padre, Island Man, Creamy Coconut, Pearberry, Boat Drinks... Something for everyone there)

One I recently tried, Hub City Morning Hike, is quite a unique and seasonal scent. Citrus (think grapefruit), Lavender, and woods to my nose. I'm sure there's more to it, but this is what I'm detecting. From their website, it's listed as: "it opens up with notes of sage, grapefruit, and orange. Lavender carries the body of the scent and it ends with oak moss, tonka, and amber."

Murphy McNeil Naid, which is Freesia and mango (I think). Very summery smelling.

I could go on, lol, as I have quite a few spring/summer soaps. They're my favorite.

PAA Rabid Banana would hit the spot!

GreenFresh is very much a hot weather/summer scent as it refreshing and provides a slight chill without smelling like menthol. Cucumber, Spearmint and Lemongrass.

Argh! Greenfresh, why didn't I mention that on my list.

Absolutely awesome scent, very much 'summer in a jar'. Now I know what I'm using for Sunday's shave.

Agree that GreenFresh behaves as advertised but for me Ethos Sucess (soap paired with skin food) with its pineapple scent works great as a “summer” soap. Best of luck.
