Orange Clove Glycerin Soap

It’s really no surprise that the Orange Clove Glycerin Soap is one of our most popular holiday soaps, if not the most popular. In 2007 and 2008, it was the top selling soap for the holidays and when you breathe in the fragrance of this soap, you’ll know why. The combination of cloves with oranges, and a hint of nutmeg and cinnamon, are traditional scents used during the holiday season. If you hold this soap under your nose, close your eyes and inhale, you’ll think it’s that time of year already.

Although some soaps and candles have an orange fragrance that can be a bit sweet and overwhelming, this isn’t the case with the Orange Clove Soap. By using orange scented fragrance oil, the soap has a fresh, sharp orange smell. It’s almost as if you had peeled an orange yourself or poured a glass of cool Florida orange juice.

Saying that, the sharp zing of the orange scent, makes this an ideal soap for starting your day. While the cloves have a smooth, sultry fragrance, especially when combined with nutmeg and cinnamon, it’s the orange that will get you moving. The combination of scents used in this soap is something to experience, as the initial smell is of the cloves and it ends with the orange.

As with all our soaps, this not only smells great, but it’s handmade using vegetable glycerin, so it’s pretty to look at and great for your skin. But remember, this is a seasonal soap, so it isn’t made all year round. We currently only make it from September to March, so don’t miss out on your chance to enjoy this popular glycerin soap!

Note: It is our Featured soap of the month in November. It is also featured in our Mini Holiday Gift Set, next to Myrrh. On the website, it can be found under our Holiday Soap Collection or Fruity Glycerin Soap Category. Buy yours today!

Mountain Rain is one of the latest additions to the Magic Senses family of handmade glycerin soaps. As with all of our other soaps, the time taken to perfect the look, feel and smell of Mountain Rain is more than evident.

By using gardenia, Mountain Rain has a floral scent that is refreshing instead of overwhelming. Just leaving the soap out in your bathroom will make it one of the best smelling rooms in the house. Plus, the blue and green “raindrops” mean that not only is the soap functional, but it’s pretty to look at also.

The undertones of lavender, patchouli and vanilla make using this soap a relaxing and calming experience. When you lather up with Mountain Rain, you will feel like you have been whisked away to a fragrant English country garden in the spring. By closing your eyes and breathing in this lovely fragrance, your cares will just melt away.

Of course, because our Mountain Rain soap is predominantly made with vegetable glycerin, it is extremely moisturizing. Whether using it as a hand soap or when you are in the shower or bath, the soap will quickly form luxurious foaming bubbles. Not only will the scent relax you, but your skin will thank you. The more you use any glycerin soaps, the softer your skin will become. As an added benefit, not only will your skin be moisturized, it will be healthier and look younger!

One thing to remember is that glycerin-based soaps are soft soaps. This means that they can melt easier than other soaps, so it may not last as long as harder, commercially produced soaps. On the other hand, the fact that Mountain Rain soap smells and feels so great will probably mean that you will want to use it more anyway!

This year we decided to join forces with SheFinds.com and Count Me In in their efforts to promote economic independence and the growth of women owned businesses. 25% of the proceeds will be donated to this cause.

We created a Special Edition design to be added to our Cheerful Butterfly Soap Collection. Made with vegetable glycerin base with little colorful flowers throughout, “Believe in You” Glycerin Soap smells like beautiful Sweet Pea.

Each soap is handcrafted with love here, in California, and weighs approx. 4.7 oz. It comes in a clear plastic box with a gold stretch loop bow, ready to be given as a gift!

Price: $6.50

Mountain Rain Glycerin Soap

I am happy to introduce one of our latest additions to the Glycerin Soap Collections. It is called “Mountain Rain” and is very refreshing with a “green feel” to it. You would never guess but it has light flower notes of Gardenia and Lavender, with refreshing citrus notes of Mandarin and Lemon plus a touch of Patchouli and Vanilla. This is the type of fragrance that you would smell again and again and never want to let go.

The design is very simple but beautiful at the same time: blue and green “rain drops” falling down in a white bar.

You can purchase it online at MagicSenses.com for $6.75.

“The real test came in trying the soap out. All of my kids and my husband have sensitive skin and I have to really careful about the products they come in contact with. Especially my older daughter. Her skin is so easily irritated she breaks out immediately if the wrong thing touches it. The Cheerful Butterfly soap not only looks nice, it didn’t dry our skin out. We have had this problem with some scented soaps before. I was very happy with The Cheerful Butterfly soap. It rinsed off easily and it kept our hands soft. I would happily buy more of this soap.” Read more!

Pink Family Reviews

“As soon as opened the package, I noticed how wonderful this soap smelled. I loved the light scent of plumeria. My girls had to see the soap right away too. They loved the way it smelled and how beautifully handcrafted it was.

I will admit, I was going to use this as my own but my girls quickly talked me into letting them use it at bath time. They thought it was so neat and loved how it made them smell so good. It left their skin clean and smelling great without drying it out or leaving a soapy residue. This is definitely something I would keep using for them.” Read more!

We are excited to announce that Magic Senses has been featured on SheScribes.com! Here are a few paragraphs from their review:

“I’ve added a bit of spring time to our bathroom. I’ve added a Cheerful Butterfly glycerin soap from Magic Senses in our shower. It’s almost too cute to use! I don’t know how they did it but the wings are really swirls of other soaps. It’s like they took a beautiful lavender soap and a lovely pink soap, shaved off some pieces, curled them and then added them to the butterflies wings. Even the body of the butterfly is made from a creamy yellow soap. They are all held together with a clear glycerin soap. It’s scented with Pulmeria and it smells SO GOOD!

As silly as it might sound having the Cheerful Butterfly soap in the tub makes me feel happy. I guess that is why it’s called the Cheerful Butterfly. I guess it’s the pretty colors and lovely scent that makes me feel that way.

I LOVE the soaps from Magic Senses! They are so funky looking. I love how they take different colored soaps and twist them and do unusual things to them to create colorful works of ART.”
