Providing a sensual escape for your next shower or bath, our Sandalwood Amber glycerin soap not only offers an unforgettable scent, but also is an attractive visual treat. With chunky curls and ribbons of orange, yellow and brown, our soap is set in a clear base. The fragrance possesses a combination of warm woodsy sweetness appeal that delivers a pleasant and calming burst of relaxation.

What is Sandalwood?

Ancient myths mention sandalwood as originally growing exclusively in the gardens of heaven. In aromatherapy circles, sandalwood has a reputation for inducing a calm and meditative state. Because of its fine scent and link to spirituality, it was not uncommon to find temple gates and religious statues carved out of the aromatic sandalwood. When paired with the sometimes smoky and sweet scent of amber, a long-lasting fragrance emerges to soothe the mind and body.

Sandalwood Amber Gift Ideas

As one of our most flexible designs, choose Sandalwood Amber soap for a unique gift idea – especially for birthdays, celebratory occasions, or Valentine’s Day. The eye-catching design of the soap also makes an attractive addition to the bathrooms of newlyweds and new homeowners. During the fall season, the soap can be used to dress up guest bedrooms and bathrooms with the soothing shades of autumn – almost reminiscent of the changing colors of leaves.

Gaga Over Sandalwood?

If you can’t get enough of sandalwood, we have you covered with other amber blends, colors, designs, and sensual pairings. Additional sandalwood glycerin soap options to consider include Sandalwood (white base with brown curls), Two to Tango (blends oak moss, sandalwood and patchouli with hints of amber and musk), Mystique (sandalwood amber soap with oatmeal), and one of our latest additions to our soap collection – Fantasy (sandalwood combined with floral scents).

As with all our soaps, expect one-of-a-kind treasures that vary in overall design. Please note that Sandalwood Amber glycerin soap is sometimes made with two to three colors.

Peace of Patchouli

Whether you’re a former flower child or wish to experience the 60′s within the comforts of your own home, we suggest exploring the scent of our Peace of Patchouli glycerin soap. Capturing one of the most significant messages of the sixties, we’ve chosen a light peach base to surround a tie-dye peace symbol. As you lather up, allow the erotic scent of patchouli to envelop your body and senses.

What is Patchouli?

The sensual fragrance of patchouli comes from the leaves of a plant, where the essential oil is extracted through a process called distillation. While some of our soaps are made with fragrance oils, we have chosen to incorporate patchouli essential oil in this particular selection. This way, you can take full advantage of the sensual, exotic properties of patchouli – rich and earthy with a floral sweetness.

During the sixties, patchouli was a popular choice in perfume oils and incense. However, the fragrance has been around for centuries. In the East Indies, patchouli was used to repel moths and was sprinkled in shipping containers filled with Asian silk and cashmere sent to Europe. The plant was also used as an herb to add flavor to foods.

Patchouli has a reputation as an aphrodisiac and is used as anointing oil during Tantric sexual practices. The fragrance of patchouli is not only associated with love, but is also linked to money. In some aromatherapy circles, the scent of the plant is believed to attract a wealthy companion. Possessing therapeutic properties, the essential oil is used as an antidepressant, anti-inflammatory, and antiseptic.

Health Benefits of Glycerin Soap

Our Peace of Patchouli glycerin soap is part of our Must Have Soap Collection – uniquely created for people looking for an unforgettable cleansing experience. Each 6-ounce bar of soap is a one-of-a-kind gem that offers non-irritating moisturizer that also agrees with patients battling eczema, psoriasis, and excessively dry skin.

Differences Between Fragrance Oils and Essential Oils

 General  Comments Off

When you take in the scents of handcrafted soaps (and other bath and body products), you can thank fragrance oils and essential oils for bringing green apple, lilacs in spring, and mango papaya to life. Many times, people mistaken the two kinds of oil as the same thing, but there are a few distinct differences that exist between fragrance oils and essential oils – all of which could affect the types of soaps you choose for your body.

What Are Fragrance Oils?

Fragrance oils (often referred to as perfume oils) are manmade reproductions of the scents they represent. A chemist analyzes plant components to create nearly any desired scent. The science involves careful formulations and blends to meet exact specifications. The synthetic nature of fragrance oils helps generate an unlimited number of scented soap selections – something an essential oil cannot. In addition to nearly any fruit, berry or flower fragrance, you can also enjoy the aroma of baked goods, baby powder, and even mountain rain. Since fragrance oils are not as volatile as essential oils – the scents last much longer.

What Are Essential Oils?

Essential oils are natural chemicals that come straight from a leaf, flower, berries, root, stem, or other parts of a plant. They’re not actually true oils, but instead – the liquid form of aromatic and volatile essences pertaining to the plant world. With these scents come potent chemicals that can produce psychological effects through our sense of smell called aromatherapy. For example, lavender is a scent used to calm the mind. Soaps made with essential oils are powerful and should be used with care, as some people with highly sensitive skin can suffer allergic reactions due to the natural chemicals found in the oils.

Magic Senses Soap

Peace of Patchouli Glycerin SoapAt Magic Senses, the majority of our soap is made with fragrance oils because we wish to protect any customers who are either pregnant or have very sensitive skin. When our fragrances are not brilliantly reproduced in a controlled and safe environment, we opt for essential oils in a few of our soaps, such as Peace of Patchouli, Lime Cooler, and Grapefruit. However, our glycerin soap descriptions clearly state whenever essential oils have been used.

We are also continuously testing different oils (essential and fragrance) to bring the best products to our customers. If we discover a more effective oil, we may replace our current selection and you’ll be the first to know.

Today, more people are looking for ideas that have meaning behind their gifts by selecting symbolic items for friends and family. When you choose soap belonging to our Magic Senses Butterfly Collection, you’re embracing a universal icon representing change, transformation, resurrection, celebration, youth, joy, and love.

The Gift of Butterflies

Give the gift of butterflies for birthdays, Valentine’s Day, and for those ‘just because’ moments. Tuck a Cheerful Butterfly inside an adult Easter basket to deliver a luxuriating treat. Think outside the box – the butterfly shape can also encourage kids apprehensive about the bathtub to feel more at ease.

Since the butterfly is a symbol of transformation, our Cheerful Butterfly Collection makes a delightful gesture to a loved one in the midst of a significant change in their life. For example, leaving the safety of its cocoon, the butterfly and a recent graduate are both moving on to the next important phase of their lives. The design of the Butterfly Collection also falls in line with the colors representative of a baby shower.

When ordering any of our butterfly soaps, please allow 1-2 days for handcrafting sealed with love, vegetable glycerin, coloring, and fragrance oils. Since handmade products slightly vary in color and design, our glycerin soap makes the perfect one-of-a-kind gift.

Our Cheerful Butterfly Soap

When butterflies take to flight, they appear to be dancing in the air – they are a perfect reminder to loosen up and enjoy life. The colors of our Pink Cheerful Butterfly Soap also create memories of the beauty of spring and joys of warm-weather days. A clear base with pink and light purple swirls make up the bulk of the ‘wings’ with ‘antennas’ rounding off the rest of the butterfly. Other Cheerful Butterfly soaps to enjoy include our Confetti and Blue.
