Scented with Tobacco and Bay Leaf, this soap is not heavily tobacco, like you may be thinking. It has a bit of a smoky background with the Bay leaf up front. It smells earthy, a bit warm and herb-y.Made in small batches with great care, handmade soap offers a much gentler cleaning than commercial soap, which are detergent bars. Handmade leaves all the glycerin in the soap, which makes for a much more skin-friendly experience. Abundant lather, nice fragrances and (usually) colorful soaps will be a treat for you every time you shower! Handmade soap needs to dry between uses. If left in a puddle, it will get very smushy. Doesn't last as long as commercial soap but it's totally worth it.
