Fish Tale Soap

Description

Folk wisdom says that the smell of anise is a surefire fish attractant. It masks the smell of human scent and is irresistible to fish. Whether that’s true or not, we cannot say, but the luscious black licorice smell of anise and tea tree essential oils remind us of Ouzo and Raki…so at the very least we can imagine that we are Greek fisherman out for a day in the sun and surf…drinking and spinning great tales of our fishing prowess. Opa!

This exceptional bar of Seattle Sundries soap comes packaged in a reusable and recyclable travel tin. After each use, the wet bar is best stored with the tin placed lid side down. All Seattle Sundries soaps are made to fit perfectly in the palm of your hand. The round shape is smooth and naturally comfortable, unlike a square or rectangular bar.

Each bar is 3” wide and just over 1” deep, weighing 4.25 ounces or more. As with all handcrafted artisan soaps, there may be some variation in color and slight irregularities in shape. This is a result of being cut and trimmed by human hands rather than by a machine. If you find that your soap “sweats” when left out, don’t be alarmed. It’s simply the natural glycerin in the soap attracting moisture from the air.

U.S. orders are sent 2-3 day Priority Mail with Email confirmation. International orders are shipped 1st Class Mail and can take 1-2 weeks, depending on the destination.
