Yuzu Rose Patchouli t. (Declaration Grooming)
dirty citrus rose
Citrus and patchouli are battling it out to see who is going to dominate this fragrance. They're both throwing some pretty good punches. You won't lack for olfactory entertainment while you whip up your lather. But rose just sort of stands in the middle, doing her best to keep things civil. So it’s probably not fair to call this a rose soap, since there is so much else going on. Still, I think it’s fun on those bright spring days when I'm in a fruitchouli mood. On a dull day, it smells a little moldy. The soap itself is dense and sticky. It’s hard to load with a brush. A spatula does a much better job of scooping some soap from the tub. Smear it on your face or wipe it on your brush. Either way works fine.
