Big Nubs Massage Soap Bar- Your choice of scent

Description

Massage your sore muscles away while you clean yourself up- this little bar of soap is a great multitasker! The large nubs are great for an almost deep tissue massage you can perform yourself, or, even better, have someone else in there with you to do it for you! ;) Give yourself a break and indulge in a mini spa treatment right in your own bath room.

The soap shown was scented with "Yuzu", and was colored an appropriate translucent pink color. Yours can be scented in your choice of scents from the list below; the color will be chosen to coordinate with the scent, unless you have a specific color in mind. I can also leave it uncolored, if you prefer. Here's a list of the scents I have available, be sure to tell me which one you want in the "Note To Seller" at checkout, to avoid any delays in the processing of your order:

★ Barbershop 1920's: Heart notes of Amber and Rum with a light top note of musk and Bay make this irrrestible! If you are a Bay Rum lover, this is for you!
★ Black Tea: smoky, sexy and sophisticated fragrance is reminiscent of roasted tea leaves with strong overtones of tobacco. With surprising top notes of Italian Bergamot, Sicilian Lemon and Southern Orange, the blend winds down with Black Tea Leaves, Star Jasmine, White Cedarwood, Amber Crystal and a rich musk. This is a bold and unusual scent sure to intrigue.
★ Spa Fusion 1: A spa refreshing experience! This sensational fragrance has cooling greens, zippy ginger and revitalizing melons. Think of taking a week off to spend at a spa refuge.
★ Spa Fusion 2: A fresh, clean scent with notes of juicy kiwi, lemon, Casababa melon, ginger, sage blossom and light musk.
★ Pink Sugar (Aquolina type): Pink Sugar is a scent that evokes sensuality, gentleness, and passion. It has notes of pink cotton candy, sweet lemon drops, raspberries, fig leaves, caramel, Sicilian orange, Barbe-a-Papa, Lily of the Valley, and powdery vanilla musk. Playful, mischievous, romantic. Pink Sugar is a fragrance for the skin, for the body, for the heart, for the nose, for the soul. I'm seriously in love with this one right now.
★ Pomegranate: Delicious fruity scent of ripe Pomegranates.
★ Sweet Strawberry: This is a very sweet, tart, candy-like strawberry scent, it's very "fun".
★ Salty Mariner: Salty marine notes and fresh rain mingle with lily of the valley, jasmine, leafy greens, pine and musk. Experience the beautifully mastered essence of the thunder of waves crashing against the shore, the salty air in your face and the soft crunch of seashells beneath your feet. Imagine yourself at sea, with your face being lightly sprinkled with ocean spray.
★ White Tea & Ginger (BBW Type): This fragrance has a delightful warm and comforting smell. With top notes of Bergamot, Lemon Peels and Green Daylilies, this fragrance is brought back to its roots with a base of Ginger, Nutmeg and Warm Musk. White floral notes, such as Hyacinth, Freesia and Peony complete the mix.
★ Sweetgrass: To me, this scent brings back memories of being out late at night, walking past an open meadow just as the dew began to collect, usually just before twilight. It's sweet and grassy, hence the name; a very light and pleasant natural scent.
★ Bamboo & Sugar Cane: Clean, herbaceous bamboo blended with the sweetness of pure sugar cane. Notes of rosewood, grapefruit, sweet plum, leafy citrus, Asian grasses and aromatic litsea
★ Mandarin Twist: A tangy mandarin orange and fruit blend with a Cabernet wine essence and undertones of designer perfume. This is NOT a tutti-frutti type scent. This fragrance is a very sensual, sophisticated scent. It is very unusual and alluring.
★ Peachy: Hints of ripe berries mix with a bright, vibrant peach for a super peachy scent.
★ Vanilla: This is a super sweet and rich vanilla scent, almost more of a buttercream than a vanilla. My kids LOVE this one.
★ Black Amber Musk: A blend of Black Amber, Clove, Nutmeg, Musk, this heady scent would work well for guys or girls
★ Sage Citrus: Smells fresh and clean, as one would imagine a fragrance named "sage and citrus" would be, it's virtually identical to the *famous brand candle* scent of the same name... herbal and cheery, this is a pick-me-up scent for sure.
★ Perfumed Pomegranate: This is a more exotic pomegranate, less fruity than it is floral
★ Juniper Sage: A blend of the evergreen tree, Juniper and aromatic Sage, this is a duplication of Garden Botanika's "Clean Slate". This fragrance has supporting notes of Bergamot, Geranium and Amber.
★ Cranberries: This is not a tart cranberry, it is a very lively in-your-face fragrance with a hint of caramelized sugar.
★ Sweet Pea: Smells like the sweet pea flower, or, well, pretty darn close to it. A personal favorite :)
★ Green Irish Tweed: This is an elegant, rich, sporty scent with notes of sandalwood, Florentine iris, herbaceous clover, French verbena, violet leaves and ambergris. It's simply what a well-dressed man ought to smell like!
★ Yuzu: Yuzu is a Japanese citrus fruit. This scent has wonderful sparkling overtones of grapefruit, citron, and a hint of mandarin orange.
★ Twigs & Berries: The smell of a deep forest and the wild berries that grow within. A bold, somewhat masculine fragrance, it's sweet without being food-y, if that makes any sense.
★ Ginger Fish: Oh man this one smells JUST LIKE gingerale, and I always get thirsty when I smell it. You'll swear that there are bubble tickling your nose when you get a whiff of this one!
★ Grass Stain: This scent is fresh, clean and vibrant. Remember your childhood, frolicking in the grass, rolling down grassy hills and playing on the swing set at the park? This is the fragrance to bring it all back. It's crisp, sweet and green.
★ Sandalwood: A straight up sandalwood, this wonderful woody scent suits both men and women.
★ Musk: A straight, clean musk fragrance.
★ Lilac: This is a wonderfully lilac-y fragrance, not artificial and not TOO strong, just like the real thing. My bottle leaked a bit during shipping and when my package arrived, my whole front entry smelled of fresh-cut lilacs. Normally I'm not a fan of the super floral scents, but I've made an exception for this one- it's great.
★ Green Tea: Long prized in Asian countries for its health benefits, this is a true-to-life scent.
★ Berry Wine: A blend of red wine and mixed berries, this scent starts off with a whiff off a freshly-opened bottle of Merlot and leaves you with the scent of ripe berries. It's very complex and intriguing, I'd call it a "grown up" version of a berry scent.
★ Watermelon: This scent smells like that yummy hard candy that all the kids love. It's a very juicy, leap-out-at-you sensation. It's a perfect antidote for those who have smelled one too many musky fragrances.
★ Blueberry Delight: This fragrance smells just like fresh baked blueberry biscotti drenched in blueberry syrup- it's not a straight single note Blueberry but rather a blend of fresh dessert goodness with notes of flour, custard, sugar and vanilla.
★ Cream Cheese Frosting: This is one of those ones I'm kicking myself for ever buying- it's so realistic and yummy-smelling it makes me hungry for cupcakes every time I smell it! Fragrance notes in this scent are freshly churned butter, buttercream, cream cheese and an intriguing finish note of butterscotch for a warm and smooth after-note. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR THOSE ON A DIET. Seriously.
★ Fresh Snow: This fragrance is designed to mimic the feeling of peace and tranquility after a fresh snowfall. It is a very ozone-y fragrance, reminiscent of clean laundry or fresh cotton. This fragrance has a crisp heliotrope top with supporting notes of sprint water, juniper berry, vetyver and sandalwood.
★ Red Apple: This one smells just like its name; this scent is actually a blend of a few varieties of Red Apple scents, along with some notes of Green Apple to temper the sweetness. The Green Apple notes add some wonderful depth and tartness to the scent. A great fall fragrance alternative.
★ Sweet Pumpkin: A mouth-watering pumpkin scent! Notes of pumpkin puree, buttered rum, nutmeg, warm ginger and creamy, sugary vanilla. Although this oil does have spice notes, it is not just a "pumpkin pie" scent - it has more balance between the pumpkin flesh and spice.
★ Coconut: What would the tropics be without coconut? A true toasted coconut scent.
★ Vanilla Bean: A dry, powdery vanilla scent, this one is less sweet and buttery than my other vanilla scent.
★ Cotton Candy: Everyone's favorite carnival treat has gone from the fairgrounds to your skincare! This smells just like the sugary treat you remember from those summer nights spent at the fair... a favorite of kids and adults everywhere!
★ Bonsai: This fragrance is a Floral Fresh with Citrus and Pine accords, having some Tropical Fruits and Wood tones on background. This is an excellent zen like fragrance that will be great whenever you're feeling particularly stressed and just need a relaxing respite in your day.
★ Smoky Patchouli: throw your pre-conceived notions about patchouli scents out the window- smoky patchouli is here! Deep, dark, and smoky, this scent is sort of like what would happen if patchouli decided to grow a beard and live in a cabin in the middle of the forest. Notes of Christmas trees (balsam) and cedar cut through the smoky base like a knife. This is a manly fragrance for manly men.
★ Sugar Plum Fairy: This fragrance is a sweet, candy-like fragrance that smells like a jelly bean. With notes of tangerine, juicy peach, lemon drop and cotton candy, this is one that'll have you running back for more.
★ Happy: Happy is a dupe of the Clinique fragrance by the same name, it's light and flowery, but not overpoweringly so. It's a very "pretty girl" scent, citrusy and sweet, but not in a "OMG COTTON CANDY" kind of way.
★ Beach: smells like a day at the beach, the main scent being Coppertone suntan lotion (really!!). I got it to use in soaps and scents for those nasty cold days in February where all you want to do is escape the cold and lay out on the sand, it's one of those "take me to summer RIGHT NOW" scents :)
★ Baby Bee Buttermilk is a dupe of Burt's Bees "baby bee" scent, which I absolutely adore. It's powdery and light, sorta sweet, and a tiny bit flowery; it smells like a clean baby should. This one is great for baby stuff, but it's also just a really nice light scent for adults to wear as well.
★ Viva La Juicy! After reading the descriptions of what this boutique fragrance duplicate smells like, I HAD to get it for my shop. It's fruity and floral, with the two balanced very nicely. You'll smell wild berries and mandarins, honeysuckle, gardenia, and jasmine, complimented nicely by notes of amber, vanilla, sandalwood, and praline. It sounds like there's a lot going on in this one, and there is- it reminds me of Pink Sugar, in that it smells a little different every time you sniff it. This one is definitely a fun fragrance to wear.
★ Blue Raspberry: This dark blue raspberry has been ripening in the summer sun to treat you to a yummy, fresh, sweet combination that will relax and rejuvenate you! A very sweet fruity scent, reminds me of slushies and carnivals.
★ Sweet Honey Rose: This one reminds me of babies, but not baby powdery babies. It's a sweet honey fragrance with the tiniest hint of rose. It's also not very strong, which also lends to the "baby" impression I'm getting off of it. This will work great in soaps you don't want something that's overly scented, or in solid scent form if you only want the tiniest hint of a fragance.
★ Gap Earth (type): I never actually smelled this scent when it was available in stores, so I can't speak to its accuracy as far as being a reproduction of a discontinued fragrance, but I CAN tell you that this one has been dubbed my new favorite (as of 10/23, lol). Low-hanging vines and tall grasses call forth a green, earthy scent, great for men, but also a very unisex scent. I can't get enough of this one, and have been cracking open the bottle just to sniff at it a few times a day now.
★ Mayan Gold: This blend of patchouli, plumeria and sweet orange has hints of vanilla, musk, and chocolate, and is a marvelously unisex scent. My husband thinks it smells like a man's scent, but I think it smells like a woman's scent; buy this one and everyone will be more than happy to use it.
★ Kaylin's Herb Patch: With hints of lavender and sprigs of fresh rosemary, this scent is floral but not perfumey, herbal but not terribly earthy. It's got a touch of sweetness to it, too. A "must try", in my book.
★ Satsuma (Body Shop type): A sweet Japanese citrus fruit, this is the sweetest citrus scent I've ever smelled.
★ Sweet Pea (BBW type): This one's for all you fans (yes, I'm in that group)of Bath&BodyWorks' "Sweet Pea"- it's the perfect duplicate. It's the sweetest, most feminine blend of sweet pea flowers, violets, raspberries, rhubarb, freesia and musk, for those who haven't smelled this one yet.
★ Blackberry Sage: A true sweet blackberry tempered with a hint of herbal sage makes this a great option for people who don't like a food-type of berry scent.
★ Almond: This does not smell like almond extract, or at least, it doesn't a few minutes after applying. This one is just yummy; it smells like a toasted, mellow, vanilla when worn on the skin.

And I also have straight up Essential Oils (please don't buy these if you're nursing or pregnant, essential oils can have adverse effects on all sorts of stuff, depending on who you believe. Better safe than sorry, if you ask me):
★ Lavender (for her/unisex)
★ Lemon (unisex)
★ Peppermint (unisex)
★ Juniper (unisex)
★ Anise (unisex)
★ Tea Tree
★ Lemongrass
★ Pink Grapefruit
★ Lime

I use a gentle, SLS and SLES-free vegan soap base to create my soaps. The colors are obtained through use of mineral pigments, not chemicals with numbers for names (except when noted, of course). This soap is great for all-around use on the body, or for shaving. These nubby bars weigh approximately 3 oz and will be either hexagonal, as pictured, or square-ish in shape. This soap's scent is STRONG and will probably remain on your skin after bathing; it will be noticeable, but not overwhelming. If you prefer to leave your soap's scent in the shower when you step out, let me know and I can make sure to weaken the fragrance concentration on your order.

As will all of my soapy stuff, test first on a small area and discontinue use if irritation occurs. Keep out of eyes and mucous membranes. Don't eat it, it's soap and is for external use only. This product contains fragrance or essential oil and can potentially cause a reaction in persons sensitive to it, so please don't buy it if you fall into this category or think you may or even if you're not sure because I don't want to be responsible for you getting hurt :(
