Lovely! I first thought they were little cookies. always thinking food…
Yeah. They look delicious, it’s something about the color.
Another dangerous lemming! They look amazing. The color is so special….
I wish the mint tea ones were green, then I’d want those too. But they have no color.
Caveat: Negativity to follow.
So, just my personal thought–but I don’t associate “leaves” of soap with luxury. That last little thin leaf of soap in the shower is always a challenge to use (and I apparently am constitutionally unable to throw out slivers of soap). Why would someone want a pile of those slivers? I get the idea of guests each using their own leaf, but I’d feel odd taking a leaf from a pile, using it, and tossing it.
The soap itself sounds lovely.
They say for travel or for guests.
Years ago, I used to keep these thin sheets of soap in my purse — they were in a matchbook like holder. They were nice because the soap in public bathrooms rarely smells nice. But these admittedly are not as “handy” to carry around.
Maybe it will be handier if it came in a thin plastic comtainer where you can slide out one leaf at a time with a fingertip, similar to breath mint strips packaging.
Sliced soap….The best thing since sliced bread!
🙂
Ha!
Oh these look dangerous! LOL I adore Senteurs D’Orient and Amber is my favorite. I was sucked in by Robin with last years lemming, the box of miniature soaps in all their scents, it was delightful. And I have the Amber soap on a rope hanging in my closet. I bought that over a year ago and it still smells wonderful.
Personally I will take this lemming on trips as I usually HATE the soaps and scents in most hotel rooms. A few leaves packed in my kit bag will be just perfect.
Jessica was the one who originally reviewed the soap brand so I think she is ultimately to blame.
