🏛️ From the Ancient World to Your Bathhouse 🧼

Some things are worth keeping exactly as they are.

Our Aleppo Soap is imported directly from Turkey, where master soap makers have been practicing this ancient craft for generations. The soap is made using traditional methods passed down through centuries, rooted in the same soapmaking traditions known throughout the ancient Mediterranean world.

And yes, that means when you lather up with a bar of Aleppo Soap, you're using a piece of history that would feel right at home in an ancient bathhouse. 🏛️

Our bars are available now at Rigr Crafts & Viking Jerk, right here at the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire!

⚔️ Stop by our tent on Avalon Hill, behind the Endgame Stage, and pick up a bar for yourself.

Your skin deserves a little trip through time.
Ancient craft. Timeless soap.

Ever wondered why some scents vanish in an hour while others linger all day? It all comes down to concentration—the ratio of pure fragrance oils to alcohol and water.

Here is the quick breakdown based on our guide:

𝗘𝗮𝘂 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗲 (𝟭–𝟯%): The lightest, most subtle option. Lasts less than 2 hours.

𝗘𝗮𝘂 𝗱𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗻𝗲 (𝟮–𝟰%): Light and refreshing. Lasts up to 2 hours.

𝗘𝗮𝘂 𝗱𝗲 𝗧𝗼𝗶𝗹𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲 (𝟱–𝟭𝟱%): A great daytime staple. Lasts 2 to 3 hours.

𝗘𝗮𝘂 𝗱𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗳𝘂𝗺 (𝟭𝟱–𝟮𝟬%): Deeper and more prominent. Lasts 4 to 5 hours.

𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗳𝘂𝗺 / 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝘂𝗺𝗲 (𝟮𝟬–𝟯𝟬%): Rich and highly concentrated. Lasts 6 to 8 hours.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗲 (𝟯𝟬%): Maximum intensity and longevity. Lasts 6 to 8+ hours. (This means a little goes a long way!)

🚫 𝗗𝗲𝗯𝘂𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 "𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝘂𝗺𝗲 𝘃𝘀. 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗻𝗲" 𝗠𝘆𝘁𝗵

Let's clear up a massive misconception built by retail marketing: "𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝘂𝗺𝗲" 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘄𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 "𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗻𝗲" 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗲𝗻.

For decades, department stores have conditioned us to think that cologne means masculine and perfume means feminine. In reality, these terms have absolutely nothing to do with gender. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗱 𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗶𝘀.

Scent is a personal sensory experience. If you love a rich, deep woody floral, wear it. If you prefer a light citrus splash, rock it.

Smell what you love. Wear what makes you confident. Scent belongs to 𝗮𝗻𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲 who wants to smell incredible.

👇 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗴𝗼-𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗲𝗮𝗿? 𝗟𝗲𝘁 𝘂𝘀 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀!
