Soap: COATES Original Lavender Cream

Ginestra di Taormina v. (Tcheon Fung Sing) woody floral

Perched on top of a seaside cliff on the east coast of Sicily, the little town of Taormina is famous for its ancient stone theater. The views from it are spectacular, with Mount Etna to the west and the blue Mediterranean lapping the foot of the cliffs. Throughout the region broom plant (it’s Italian name is ginestra) grows abundantly and magnificently. A mature broom plant can easily be mistaken for a tree. Its golden blooms give off a heady aroma of flowers and well dried hay. TFS has packed a lot of this fragrance into their soap. The first time I cracked it open, I was almost overcome. Now that time has tamed it, the scent is gorgeous and tempts me to leave the lid off the tub forever.

Stirling MITA

Home at last so I chose a big fatty brush to counter the small one I've been using.  Today's soap was Stirling Tea Tree which if you know what melaleuca Alternifolia smells like, this is that.  If not, tea tree oil is medicinal and sort of camphorous.  It's a scent I very much enjoy in a soap but would not like at all in a cologne.  Stirling performance is....sterling!  This scent makes things seem clean.

Crabtree & Evelyn Lavender soap + Coate's Lavender cream (both vintage).  Great lather.

VDH Luxury. What a bargain performer.
