1) I see the Mango as more of an unripe Mango, does it mean that it will be a more sour mango as opposed to a sweet mango scent?


3) Will it be a simple single scented soap or are there some scent combination in the back?

Love the idea of peace, mango and orange.

Love SdP sweet orange, i hope this triumph (scent wise) as I'm a advocate of tallow base soap.

HI aerolord

1) I see the Mango as more of an unripe Mango, does it mean that it will be a more sour mango as opposed to a sweet mango scent?
It will be on the tropical side, with some tartness highlighted

2) Will it be fragrance oil or essential oil?
I don't use fragrance oils. All my scents are blends I compose of fragrance compounds used by the perfume industry known as Aroma Chemicals/Molecules and essential oils.


3) Will it be a simple single scented soap or are there some scent combination in the back?
It's a simple scent in the fact that it will highlight the primary scent note, all other notes are there to emphasize and anchor the primary note. I personally don't see the point of just pouring lime or orange essential in soap and just calling that a lime or orange soap Smile


All the fruit scented soaps will be in the tallow base. I'll have 2-3 different citrus scents for the vegan base, I like the sound of Mango and Orange!

Thank you for getting in touch, I hope you find the answers satisfactory.
Thank you Mohammed. Looks like I will be getting a few soaps from you. I love fruit scented soap.

Please do make more so as I won't have to camp for it!

I know the packaging needs to communicate certain points, and it will when the side label arrive. I want to keep coming back to the aesthetics of Grooming Dept packing, because for me it's an important part of the identity.

I'm a huge fan of certain kinds of music that are not necessarily mainstream. In the early years of these music labels, in obscurity, they produced some well regarded album designs, at that time many people looked at them as childish, irrelevant marginal artworks, but now those designs and the artist behind them are well respected. I'm not saying my label will reach those heights Smile But I'm saying: I take my labels seriously as an expression of me and things I like.

If you are interested, please google some of the album covers introduced by these music labels: Thrill Jockey, Sub Pop, Warp, 4AD, early Rough Trade, Creation, Factory, Ninja Tune and Mute, and tons more…

Those are some amazing labels, Mohammad. I've got a call with someone from Sub Pop today!

I thought I'd post this review here Smile The recent Mallards have been extremely well received. Incidentally, Spain for me has been my biggest market behind the US.

Do you plan to release Incense & Rose soap on your website? or is it exclusive to Top of The Chain?

Mohammad,

Please do update the restock / release thread with time and date, so the notification goes out for those of us that subscribed.

Once again, DFS is the only means by which I am able to remain in the loop.

Further, I noticed Tacit and Pekin were back in stock, however the above thread was not updated.

Am I missing something, and should be looking elsewhere?

I say this because I don't want to miss your releases and restocks, nor join a plethora of social media platforms.

Looking forward to mid March! Keep up the great work...

I'm sorry for not updating the restock thread. I'll make sure I do so next time. Thanks for letting me know.
