Reviews: Haus Of Gloi & The Bathing Garden

Today I will be sharing my thoughts on these three products: The Bathing Garden Hoarfrost Tonic Whipped Soap, Haus Of Gloi Satyr Pumpkin Butter, and Haus Of Gloi Coconut #3 Perfume Oil.

First up, TBG Hoarfrost Tonic Whipped Soap. I showered with this today and it had a pleasant classic green soapy scent, similar to Irish Spring, but with a subtle, more complex smoky note. The scent was nice, but not what I would have chosen for myself. I used approximately a teaspoon of the product on a loofah, and it did not lather nearly as well as other whipped soaps I've tried. I felt as though I'd have to use half the small jar to get a decent lather. But it did seem to leave my skin moisturized and lightly scented after drying off. 

Overall grade: C+ will use, but would not purchase.

On to HoG pumpkin butter in Satyr scent. I'm surprised at how much I love this! I have heard rave reviews about HoG pumpkin butters, so I really shouldn't have been; it lives up to the hype imo. While sniffing and applying I detected incense, spice, and smoke notes, tempered by the earthy sweetness of pumpkin. In other words, the ideal fall scent! It is unusual and unlike anything I've tried before, but I'm quite enamored with it. Indie makers are wonderful for that; creating unique and captivating scents. The formula is silky smooth and sinks in immediately without much greasy residue. I can still smell the scent on my skin over 3 hours later but it was never overpowering and complimented my perfume oil well. Overall grade: A. Would purchase and be happy to try other scents as well.

Finally, on to the fabulous HoG Coconut #3 perfume oil! I sprayed on two sprays, one on my neck and one blended between my wrists, and instantly fell in love! What I get from it is dark chocolate, coconut, and a sharp nutty note that essentially makes me feel like I've rubbed a very sophisticated Mounds bar on myself, haha! I literally can't stop sniffing it and it's so unlike anything else I have. The oil formula dries soft and silky and the fact that I can still smell it well over 3 hours later is a testament to its quality and longevity. 

Overall grade: A+ would purchase and hoard! Sadly I think this was a limited time collection and may no longer be available. :(

A huge thanks again to Julie J of The Redolent Mermaid for sending me these wonderful samples! All opinions expressed about them are my own.
