All soaps are conditional in their appearance, as they are works of art, the colors and designs may differ slightly. The scents are consistent from bar to bar in the same batch.
Please let me know if you are interested in a particular scent or color! Most of my soaps are 4.5-6 oz but I do have the option for smaller guest bars. I will require 4-6 weeks cure time for any special requests.
