It’s May! And while hot, rainy springs aren’t always the most enjoyable weather, I always enjoy the sights and smells of this time of year! To celebrate, we bring you the return of Sidewalk and Pipevine Swallowtail…
Pipevine Swallowtail is Aromatic basil and bitter tomato leaf in an ephemeral haze of neroli and tangerine. It is a beautiful creme coloured soap, shot through with burnt lavender, and polished with the smokey blue and grey of the namesake butterfly. It’s also done up in one of our soywax Burn! votives for a crisp, sweet roomscent.
Sidewalk evokes my favourite childhood memories with Hot concrete drenched in sunshowers. Summer melons, limeades and fresh-cut grass. It is a smooth soap, done up in cool pools of blue. This one is available as a Burn! votive as well.
We ran a bit late on the Staff Pick Smack! for April, so are allowing it overlap into May a bit. That’s our Thai Twist Smack! which exploits that coconut-lemongrass schtick that was so popular a couple of seasons ago. And for good reason - it’s delishus. Ours puts our Coconut Milk, Lemon Meringue, and new Bluegrass single notes to good use, for a creamy/crisp spa moment.
Our Staff Pick for May is the Wildberry Mojito - sweet and refreshing! Two perfect servings of Berry Patch muddled with Limeade and a crisp splash of Mint Medley. I’ve got a jar of this in the shower, and it was delightful after spending the afternoon mowing my swampy lawn. I imagine it might have been that much more delightful had I used the cocktail recipe that inspired this concoction, but all things in time.

Hope you enjoy!
