Do you fragrance switch your soap for winter?

I tend to switch out my fragrances by season. Summer is for citrusy and fruity scents, while during the winter I prefer heavier scents with a sandalwood or amber note. But I didn't realize until recently that I usually end up switching soaps too. In the summer time, I tend to go for lemon, rose or lavender. Once the weather starts getting chillier my choices shift toward the minty or spicy options. Some of my favorites for the chillier months include:

1. Sappo Hill Oatmeal Soap: It's cheap, it's good for your skin and it smells like oatmeal cookies.
2. My Beautiful Soap Pumpkin Spice: They sell this at my local market, it has a great pumpkin pie scent.
3. South of France's Rosemary Mint: The mint smell and slight cooling effect makes it a bracing choice on a sleepy winter morning.
4. Philosphy's Hot Toddies Collection: apple cider, eggnog and cocoa soaps, yum.
5. Singing Olive: I haven't tried these yet but the collection of wreaths and snowmen could put a grinch in a festive mood and come in scents like peppermint and "Christmas splendor."

Dr. Bronner's miracle soap

Email thisPosted Oct 13th 2006 at 2:17PM by Anne Metz

Sure, Dr. Bronner's miracle soap carries something of an unfortunate reputation. Beloved by hippies and backpackers from Maine to Montana, the highly concentrated soap can be used for anything that might need cleaning, from your dishes to your hair. The prissy side of me hates the idea of cleaning my dishes or my hands with the same product I use to clean my hair, but buying and loving Dr. Bronner's doesn't obligate you to taking the "miracle soap" thing whole hog. I certainly don't, but that doesn't mean that I don't also have a very special place in my heart for dear old Dr. Bronner. A fool for the scent of peppermint, I love using this foamy soap with a pair of exfoliating gloves in the shower. And let's face it, you can't knock the mildly fanatical label literature -- I've read it top to bottom in the tub at least 30 times.
