Most of the soaps do smell good enough to eat, and I can't wait to try the Applecross one that reminds me of beer.

I bet that would be wonderful.<br /><br />Elise - which one are you ordering?<br />Shauna - me too. As soon as I smell this soap I can see the drawer opening in her dresser, and the little pillow of scent in there.<br /><br />Elisabeth - they do hand creams, too! I didn't let myself buy any (this time) but they also look lovely. The conditioner is also paraben free, which is important to me.PurestGreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10860331983741242940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-473528606413302079.post-84023608328581273482010-10-05T03:04:31.621+01:002010-10-05T03:04:31.621+01:00i love the soaps to smell and caress, but I have t...i love the soaps to smell and caress, but I have to be careful with my dry skin.

Things that smell nice. Maybe it's because Florida does not have a very nice smell in and among itself! But I think that heather and thistle soap would be the nicest. It's just particularly Scottish. When I went out West this summer, the mountains in New Mexico were covered in big purple thistles. And I mean they were covered. There were huge patches of them all over the place. I brought one home with me and dried it out. I hoped it would smell like a Scotch thistle though I couldn't tell you because I have never smelt a real Scotch thistle! They do have a nice somewhat spicy smell to them though.Hazel Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01234157921832851920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-473528606413302079.post-30422406500339007182010-10-05T00:42:14.231+01:002010-10-05T00:42:14.231+01:00Oh thank you for this!
