Rook & Raven Handmade Soap

I got this as part of the sample pack and decided to try it before any of my big soaps. Contemplating the perfume oil now! I love it when a patchouli is made creamy. The orange is subtle and well blended (I don't like full-on citrus, it can end up a bit cat pee-like to my nose!) and the vanilla and sandalwood make this very moreish. The soap lathers well and is smooth - I used it on my face instead of my usual facial soap, and was pleasantly surprised that I didn't feel like my skin had been dessicated after. (Still needed moisturiser but I always do!) I can still smell it on my skin, and as a wary patchouli user (it can go so screechy so fast on my skin) I'm really happy. And come on - who doesn't love rooks and ravens? I'm so glad we have Tiggy here in the UK selling her beautiful soaps. There are heaps of fab US soap makers - it's only fair we have such a good one here to make up for it.

I was going to say this is my favourite, but that would be unfair on all my other favourites. Suffice to say we’ve bought this in soap / shampoo bars and bathsalts, more than once. This year we gave as gifts too. Seriously, try it. It’s divine.

It must be said that I love Tiggy's soaps - all of them! Not only do the bars have abundant bubbles and luxurious lather, but they also feel great on the skin and will last for quite some time. Rook & Raven is a gorgeous scent blend - mysterious, luscious, sexy. I admit that I am completely obsessed!

For some reason I was worried that these soaps wouldn't have a creamy lather but I was totally wrong! I use them with a loofah & they all produce a rich, creamy lather.
