Lorna Lu – Citron

“Lorna Who?”

This is one of those “lifestyle” products I don’t really understand the economics of—it’s from a company called K. Hall Studio—you can look at their website and understand very little more. I mean, is there a person named “Lorna Lu”—I mean, one connected to this company? (A side note, however: I did have another one of their soap brands, Barr-Co., and the fragrance was a killer.) You can manage to buy this soap for top-dollar online—or you can, like I did, find it somewhere like TJ Maxx for the price of a drugstore soap. It’s a fine soap, whiter than white, with a slight citrus fragrance. The most exciting thing about it, however, is the packaging—an attractive box shaped like one of those fast food “hot apple pie” boxes, decorated with a really cute citrus fruit slice design. Like I said before, for whatever reason, citrus soaps aren’t my favorite. Maybe someday I’ll find a spectacular one. As this bar has worn on, the fragrance hasn’t endeared me to it—maybe it’s all natural, and I’m just wanting more from a fragrance—even when it comes from a heinous chemical. Nothing heinous here—but also nothing to capture my imagination.
