Formulary55 Shea Butter Soap - What does it smell like?

If you have ever wondered what some of our handmade shea butter soaps smell like, below is a description of each fragrance.

Agave & Teakwood - A blend of seamoss, bark, cedar, teakwood, agave, aloe, and sweet melon.

Aloe Leaf & Mint - The most invigorating, zesty, "clean" scent we make.  We blend fresh aloe leaf with cooling mint and add a touch of black pepper.  This scent works well as a morning pick-me-up.

Apiary No. 55 - Clean, sweet, and soothing.  Almost good enough to eat!  One of our most popular blends with both men and women.  Apiary No. 55 has a very traditional "clean" yet warm scent that feels a bit nostalgic.

Autumn Equinox - Smoky, deep and earthy.  Fleeting top lavender notes mix with middle and base notes of earthy amber, burnt tea leaves, lemon, orange, and cedarwood.

Balsam & Fir - Fresh and woodsy smelling bar. Very forest-like smell...would be great for a man. We use a fresh green fir essential oil and blend with a deep amber fragrance, then add in a pinch of real balsam. Very "clean" smelling, but the amber and balsam add a bit of a vanilla like depth.

Bay Rum & Smoke -  Masculine and clean.  A combination of roasted tea leaves, tobacco, cedarwood & Sicilian lemon.  

Bourbon & Vanilla - A great scent is great for both men & women. Main notes are Bourbon and Tahitian Vanilla with a hint of Musk and Amber. One of our all time best sellers. Perfect if you like warming, cozy, vanilla-like scents with a little extra "sexy" mixed in.

Clementine & Lime - A very straightforward 100% essential oil blended fragrance that mixes fresh clementine citrus with zesty clean lime.  We suggest this scent for people who don't like a lot of fragrance in their bath & body care.  The aroma is still potent, but very natural and fresh.

Fern & Moss - A mix of herbaceous leaves, woods, amber, earth, and violets.  This blend smells just like the inside of a greenhouse.  

Fig Leaf -  Our take on a fresh green fig.  We add a touch of cranberry to this blend making it sweet, fruity, and a little bit tart.

Fleuriste - Inspired by fresh flower stalls and traditional florist shops. Fleuriste is modern floral blend with a green twist. This scent is a mix of pink carnations, peonies, cut leaves, and spring flowers.

Gardenia Blossoms - A blend of a classic floral gardenia mixed with fresh lemon for a more modern take on a traditional sweet gardenia.

Honeycomb & Neroli- A refreshing and honeyed blend that combines the warmth and soothing element of honey with fresh and slightly sweet neroli.  One of our more complex scents, Honeycomb & Neroli combines the best off many fragrance categories...it is fresh, floral, warm, sensual, and delicate all at the same time. 

La Nuit - Our most sexy and sultry blend.  Main notes are rich and comforting amber combined with myrrh, vanilla, and Egyptian musk.  We add a French Lavender to the mix to balance some of the sweetness and add a fresh floral depth.  

Love Potion #9 - A smoky, sexy blend but yet still very feminine & sweet. I've mixed Italian Bergamot, with Smoke, Amber, Peru Balsam, Jasmine, Musk, Sweet Honey, Pale Rose....and a touch of Champagne.

Mother Earth - Featuring the remnants of other scents, no two bars will ever be the same, and nothing will go to waste.  The scent is a surprisingly fresh mix of most all our scents.  As we manufacture 1,000's of bars each week, a few end up short poured or dented.  We mix all these bars into one big pot, re-mill, and re-pour, creating this truly one of a kind soap.  No two bars will smell exactly the same!  

Ocean & Oakmoss -  Crisp and fresh. This mix is a blend of spices, orange zest, and old school aftershave. 

Orange Peel & Patchouli - patchouli, orange, lavender, lemongrass, pine, and a few secret ones make for a heavy, warming, and earthy scent. If you love patchouli, this one is for you!

Sandalwood & Cedar - Earthy, seductive, sophisticated, and woodsy.  Our Sandalwood & Cedar soap is made up of over 6 perfume and essential oils.

Sea Salt & Lavender - Our best selling scent.  Like fresh sea air, this scent combines crisp ocean accords with touches of jasmine and violet florals.

Spring Equinox - Sweetened honey, green grass, iris, roses, and dew kissed spring petals.  

Summer Solstice - Fresh pressed citrus rinds, a touch of ginger and geraniums, patchouli, and dried lavender.  

Sweet Pea & Clover - a delicate floral fragrance, we took a classic old fashioned sweet pea perfume and added hints of plumeria and fresh cut clover for a more modern twist.

Vetiver & Ghost Flower -  A mix of grasses, vetiver, sandalwood, oakmoss, and sage.

Vintage Peony - This fragrance is a lush velvety floral blend inspired by our favorite spring flower.  We've added just a touch of musk to tone down the ultra feminine "rosy-ness" of the flower.  Vintage Peony is our top selling floral.  

Wild Honeysuckle - This is a true honeysuckle fragrance, slightly sweet, a bit citrusy, with undertones of fresh green sharpness.

Winter Solstice - Green balsams, woods, sharp cool notes, and with a slight added sweetness of amber. If you love our Balsam & Fir scents, this one is for you.
