What soap/cream did you use today?

Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet shaving soap (tallow)

Dolomiti v. (Saponificio Varesino) citrus, lavender, cedar

Each of Saponificio Varesino's soaps has a long list of ingredients. Unlike most soap cookers who make one or two bases and then add different fragrances to create 'new' soaps, Saponificio Varesino tinkers considerably with their basic recipe, combining all sorts of unusual ingredients to produce a unique base for each soap. The list of ingredients that go into each soap reads like an old fashioned pharmacopeia. I always come across something unexpected. For instance, today's soap, Dolomiti, includes andiroba oil. What's that? Andiroba oil is extracted from the nut of the Carapa Guianensis tree, a tropical giant that grows in Suriname and Guayana. Its oil is supposed to fight inflammation and promote the growth of new skin cells. Some claim that it also boosts collagen. Maybe that accounts for the plump finish I get after a shave with Dolomiti.

Bouki - you enable my SAD every day
LOVE SV - don't have the Dolomiti yet.

Tommy - Dolomiti isn't my favorite scent (dirty lavender?), but it does give a wonderful shave. -- Now, Oud Palao ... that is one of my favorite fragrances. What a heavenly shave you must have had today.

Bouki - yes sir, oud P is my favorite rose fragrance. POA a close second. Glad you replied. I am not a huge lavender fan. Have a good night
