Scented soaps take bathing beyond a cleansing ritual — a sensory experience for the body and mind. The enticing aromas of scented soaps can jog memories, boost mood and even induce relaxation. When choosing your favourite scented soap, consider the key ingredients that make them attractive.

What to Consider When Picking Your Perfect Scented Soap

When choosing the right scented soap, consider your skin's needs and scent preferences. But for those who have special needs, there are rules to follow if you want to avoid the usual:

• Know Your Skin Type – dry, oily, combination, sensitive or unique. This knowledge is required when choosing the scented soap that complements the nature of your skin. For sensitive skin, select hypoallergenic options to avoid irritation.

• Evaluate Soap Ingredients - Take a glance at the ingredients. Handmade soaps are usually filled with natural ingredients such as olive oil, beeswax, or shea butter. These soaps clean your skin and produce pleasant scents. Spend time reading the ingredient list to avoid triggering a potential allergy. Natural ingredients are a bonus. Seek fragrant soaps with essential oils or even botanical extracts known for hydrating properties.

• Experiment with Your Favoured Fragrances - The world of fragrances is extensive, including soft floral notes and potent and spicy scents. Explore the worlds of scents to find what represents your personality. With so many options out there, you're sure to find one that becomes your signature scent. Citrusy notes awaken, floral scents calm, and earthy aromas centre. Select the one fragrance that speaks to your soul and necessity.

• Pick The Ideal Bar Size - Everyone has their own preferences — this applies to soap, too. We believe "bigger is better" when it comes to soap, so our soap sizes go well beyond 150g — be sure to choose a size that fits your needs (and hands) perfectly. When choosing soap sizes, consider whether the soap will be for personal use, guests or the family.

• Primary purpose - Keep the purpose of using the soap in mind. Do you want an energising morning cleanse or a soothing night-time ritual? Make your pick based on the experience you want.

• Packaging - Environmentally conscious consumers may want to choose soaps with sustainable packaging that reduces waste.

How to Pick Your Scent Soap:

• Do some research. Educate yourself about fragrance groups: floral, fruity, woody, spicy, etc. Read descriptions of products to look for scents that you will enjoy.

• Try before you buy. Brands usually have sample-sized scented soaps, allowing you to try the scents before pulling the trigger on a full-sized soap bar.

• Read Reviews. Online reviews are your friend when figuring out authentic scents that last. Read reviews written by people whose tastes run similar to yours.

• Pick Seasonal Scents. You can tailor your selection by season. Light, fresh fragrances are the perfect pairing during the warmer summer months, whereas the colder months call for warm, thick scents.

• Link to Personal Memories. Go with your gut instinct and select a fragrance that feels emotionally connected to your feelings or reminiscences. That personal connection can deepen the experience of your scented soap.

How to Enjoy Your Scented Soap Experience

Proper Storage: To keep your scented soap smelling nice, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity.

Aromatherapy: Turn your shower into a sensory retreat by placing scented soaps close to the top of your shower head. The steam will release the fragrance, producing a mini aromatherapy session.

Gifting and Sharing: Fragrant soaps are thoughtful gifts. Spread the word about something new you've loved to your friends and family.

Rotate Scents: Don't stick to one scent. Switch between different scented soaps according to your mood and occasion.

Diving into Scent Categories

Scented soaps are so diverse that choosing yours can feel intimidating, and yet, this becomes easier if you know about the scent categories you enjoy. Start by narrowing down the fragrance families you enjoy.

Here's a look at scent categories — and what pairs best:

• Floral: Look for soft, sweet floral notes like jasmine and lavender. The scents are peaceful, ideal for morning refreshing, daytime pampering or summer uplifting.

• Spicy: Revamp bathtime with a spicy scent such as chilli pepper. Perfect for winding down after a long day, these tantalising fragrances are great for the senses, bringing a bit of luxury. Old Spice and Susan Soaps' cinnamon selection will appeal to spice lovers.

• Woodsy: Revel in the embrace of freshly cut wood aromas favoured in winter. Brands such as Lush and Bath & Body Works do wonderful things with soaps, allowing you to feel as if you were transported to forests and greenery, connecting you with nature.

• Earthy: Earthier fragrances, such as sage or oakwood, are pleasing, akin to the comforting aroma that follows rainfall.

Indulging in Nourishing Soap Ingredients

Focus on your skin health by using soaps loaded with nourishing elements. Below are a couple of gems from our trove:
