For obvious financial reasons and because we exclusively use essential oils in our soaps, we are unable to offer many natural fragrances that delight our soul: camomille, jasmin, neroli, lemon verbena, sandalwood and rose to name a few.
Be very cautious with cosmetic claims and adverts widely advertising essential oils but whose products actually contain just a tiny portion of the great substance (so they can make this claim), the majority of the scent being synthetic which is much much cheaper.
. . . For very sensible skin, try our unscented
"baby" soaps .
