Vanilla Rose

Description

Vanilla and rose sounds like it could go either way — too sweet, or too much like an old candle. This bar lands right in the middle. Warm vanilla up front, then rose settling in underneath, a little floral, a little spicy, with that honeyed edge rose tends to carry. It’s the kind of scent combo that gets requested again once people notice it’s gone.

And it will be gone — this one’s a limited edition, run as the soap of the month back in February, made in small batches out of the Brooklyn workspace rather than kept in permanent rotation. Colloidal oatmeal and kaolin clay do the actual work under the fragrance, softening the bar’s texture and keeping the wash gentle instead of stripping.

Don’t wait around on this one if the description is speaking to you. Limited edition means limited, not “restocking next month.”

Ingredients: Saponified oils of coconut, olive, palm, and castor oils, distilled water, sodium hydroxide, colloidal oatmeal, kaolin clay, essential oil.

Best Skin Types

• Normal to dry skin — the oatmeal and clay combination softens the cleanse rather than drying it out.
• Sensitive skin — generally well tolerated, though the essential oil blend means a patch test is worth it if you’re fragrance-sensitive.
• Anyone who likes a soap that smells like something — this isn’t a subtle bar. If you want unscented, the sugar scrub line has that option instead.

FAQs

Is Vanilla Rose a permanent part of the lineup? No — it’s a limited-edition batch, originally released as a seasonal soap of the month. Once current stock sells out, it may not be made again, or at least not right away.

Does it smell more like vanilla or more like rose? Vanilla hits first, rose comes in underneath as it settles. It’s a warmer, less “perfume counter” take on rose than some floral soaps.

Is this bar made locally? Yes — it’s handcrafted in small batches out of the Brooklyn workshop, same as the rest of the soap bar line.

Will the scent fade quickly, or does it stick around? It holds up reasonably well through a normal shower, though like any natural soap, the scent is strongest in the first few uses and mellows a touch as the bar wears down.

Does it contain nut oils? The current ingredient list doesn’t show nut oils, but formulations can shift between batches — check the label on the bar you receive, or reach out before ordering if you’re managing a nut allergy.
