Brisa de Oriente (Eufros) cardamom & vanilla
I've been wondering why Manuel named his soap Eufros. I wasn't sure what that word meant or even what language it came from, so I thought a little research was in order. Google says eufros comes from modern Greek and offers the English translation ‘fluent’. I can see how this may refer to the free-flowing, smooth, effortless, and easy lather this soap gives. So far, so good.
A few more clicks with the mouse turned up the ancient Greek goddess Euphrosyne, one of the Three Graces. She and her two sisters were daughters of Zeus, sent down to earth to make mortal man's miserable existence more tolerable. Euphrosyne's special calling was to fill every day with pleasant moments. Her name, based on the word euphros, means something like 'Giver of Joy'. Not a bad description of Manuel’s soap.
