Posted by Robin on 28 November 2017 25 Comments

We’re starting off this year’s holiday gift series with scented body products of all kinds, and as always, do add any of your own recommendations in the comments! There are seven more posts to come.

Fire, Twigs & Smoke ~ home fragrance reviews

Posted by Kevin on 21 April 2015 32 Comments

Compagnie de Provence 20th Anniversary Savon de Marseille

Compagnie de Provence has been offering contemporary interpretations of traditional Provençal soaps and toiletries since 1990. To mark its twentieth anniversary, the company has released a limited edition of its popular Savon de Marseille, a liquid hand soap packaged in a hefty glass bottle. For this occasion, the company commissioned artist Stephan Muntaner to create bottle designs based on the culture and legends of Marseille. The result is a set of three images that look like very colorful sailors’ tattoos, with each design named for a fish that would be caught in the city’s ancient port.

All three silkscreened images are vibrant and playful, even as they refer to Marseille’s oldest customs…
