Book Clubs attract a diverse mix of personalities, turning a solitary activity into a highly social event. Anyone who enjoys reading (or socializing) can join, but standard book clubs almost always organically form a cast of characters. These soaps at Salem House Provisions could fit the description of a few of those characters seen in any book club, or maybe your own: The Lit Critic, The Contrarian, and The Ink Bereaved.
The Lit Critic Soap is based on the member who treats the meeting like a university seminar. They analyze formatting, hunt for subtle character symbolism, bring historical context, and keep the discussion strictly focused on the text. A book club purist of sorts. This soap is blue and has a soft, elegant scent of bergamot and Anjou pear, giving it a clean, airy brightness; orris and violet add floral elegance; then vanilla and cashmere musk create a comforting, cozy finish.
The Contrarian Soap is based on the book club member who, no matter how beloved a book is, will find a reason to dislike it. They thrive on the intense debates and love to play devil's advocate during plot discussions- the debate club drop-in. This soap is a beautiful teal color and is scented with a blend of bergamot and mandarin orange, enhanced by crisp coastal eucalyptus and cypress, and a base of sandalwood and cashmere musk for a cozy and sophisticated finish, perfect for a book club.
The Ink Bereaved Soap is based on the book club member who, when they read the two words "The End," or their Kindle says 100% complete, instantly feels an intense loss of the fictional world they have been living in. These members suffer from ACL- acute character loss- and are actively grieving the end of a printed journey. This soap is rose pink and scented with a soft mix of coconut, candy apple, raspberry, red currant, tulip, freesia, heliotrope rose, cashmere musk, and vanilla.
The Book Club Soaps are handcrafted with a blend of avocado, castor, coconut, olive, palm oils, mango butter, tussah silk, vitamin E, and micas for colorant. These soaps are a perfect gift for the bibliophile in your life or collect them for yourself.
Each bar weighs approximately 5 oz.
