Mountain Path – Scented Soap

“Backwoods Cypher”

Virtually no internet presence—I mean, I could keep searching—but I’m not trying to find a killer here. Just a lovely scented, gentle soap, a smallish bar, tan in color, some texture (the box mentions “Oatmeal”). Nice box with a tasteful watercolor wash landscape in earthtones. There is an address in Canada (Toronto), but seeing how it’s “Airport Road,” you know that’s an industrial park, big warehouse—I don’t even have to look it up. I was going to joke, Tim Hortons nearby. But then I looked it up anyway, couldn’t resist, I love maps—it’s a huge warehouse, in an industrial park. Tim Hortons across the street. There are some sketchy, chemically ingredients—but then it’s just one bar—I’m not getting married to it. And as usual, none sketchier than “Fragrance”—but what is the smell of this soap? It’s as elusive as the soap itself. It’s a pleasant yet hard to nail down woodsy smell. A little more perfumy than the woods usually cough up—but I’ll allow it, and enjoy the mystery.
