Auromère Ayurvedic Soap – Himalayan Rose

“Indie Girlfriend”

To risk sounding like a broken record, even if your soap budget it minimal, you can afford this—elegant, handmade, skin-friendly, environmentally good, from India! Less expensive than mass-market grocery store crap—and it’s fun. You could reuse the box for your traveling circus cricket troop. It could be a gift for someone you love. The only thing I’m not crazy about is the fragrance—though it’s pleasant in its own way. It’s just a little severe for me—kind of sharp and too intense. It may well be the fragrance of Himalayan Rose (who sounds like someone Indiana Jones might date), I don’t know, I’m not familiar with that flower. That could be a good all-purpose saying—I’m gonna adopt that—anytime someone asks me a question I can’t answer, I’ll say: “I’m not familiar with that flower.” It’s a strong fragrance, and if it was nostalgic to me, I’d be more excited about it. Which reminds me, I haven’t had enough patchouli in my life, lately. One can do something about that without hurting anyone or going into debt.
