Elixir of Love Bath Soaps

These Elixir of Love Bath Soaps rest on your vanity—discriminating with their Casswell-Massey logos, mysterious with their denotations of “No. 1.” Within lie your sublime secrets to scented well-being; the triple-milled and vegetable-based soaps with the gently enthralling scent of jasmine, lavender, Egyptian musk and passionflower carefully blended with a secret herbaceous ingredient. (The centuries-old recipe was only recently discovered in the archives of this historic American perfumer.) Individually pressed from antique hand molds. Enjoy their luxurious long-lasting lather in the bath or, like potpourri, throughout your home. Made in the USA.  Set of 3. 3.5 oz.
