Savon de Marseille – 72% D’Huile Lait D’Anesse (Donkey Milk Soap)

“S-assy”

One of the weirdest soaps I’ve used (since that haunted one), I mean in fragrance terms—I can’t really describe it, except that it does smell milky! Like milk, that is—which is really intense—almost too much for me at first, but it’s growing on me. My friends brought it for me from France—I’m not naming them, in case they were breaking laws—they might have smuggled it! There’s that French cheese, my favorite, can’t spell the name because I can’t find it! Because it’s illegal, for some dumb reason. I was just at the grocery, and about half the food is literally slow poison—yet you can’t import some French cheese. Anyway, they told me it’s “Donkey Milk Soap”—so I’m taking their word for it. For its name, I typed exactly what was engraved in the off-white bar—the only label is a one-inch-square barcode and ingredients sticker—all in French. I tried to find it online, but no dice. I looked up “Donkey Milk Soap,” and it seems to be a “thing,” but I didn’t see this one. I have some goat milk soap—it just smells like whatever fragrance is in it—and this one supposedly has “parfum”—but the donkey milk overpowers it! Excellent! What is a donkey? AKA, an ass, one of our equine friends. A product called “Ass Soap” may well not be a “thing”—though, on the other hand, look at what people drink, on purpose, for “fun.” I’ll be sad when this one is gone, it freaks me out every time I smell it (mild freakouts are good for you!) and it feels great, very lush, and rich, and I suppose makes me feel like a rich person, not to mention, French, when using it.
