Blue is good. It’s a beautiful shade that’ll remind me of a beautiful Bonaire beach no doubt, in spite of the fact that when I think of Bonaire, I always think pink! It’s the flamingos there. The thousands of flamingos. You only need to see it once really for it to sear into your mind. And for the association to stick.

Anyway, that’s all good, but let’s talk about the Soap. We all know that Oleo’s ingredients are pretty good. This duck fat soap is no different!

Canard Base: Stearic Acid, Water, Kokum Butter, Potassium Hydroxide, Palm Kernel Oil, Duck Fat, Sodium Hydroxide, Castor Oil, Glycerin, Jojoba Oil & Sodium Lactate

But it was me looking at the scent profile of this soap that just got me stoked! I buckled when I read hibiscus and bought it! I didn’t need it... I just got caught up in the scent profile and nostalgia.

Scent notes: Bergamot, Lime, Mandarin, Coconut toddy, Copra, Jasmine, Hibiscus, Ylang ylang, Ginger, Tonkin musk, White rum, Sugar cane


Speaking of Nostalgia though, it’s a funny thing really. Growing up in the “A.B.C.” Islands, just reading the name Bonaire (good air) made me want it. But to complicate it even more, everything in the scent profile calls to the best memories accociated with the region. Crazy.

I really expected a sweet/fruity scent, but when I opened it, I got ta sweet(ish) mandarin with maybe a little salt? I’m not sure I got the florals as much as... well, i’ll reserve scent description until I shave with it, I have to! But if you’re from the region and know of Curaçao’s “Air Conditioner in a Bottle” Alcolado Glacial ... just saying.

I’m pretty excited really, but I’ll show some restraint and review it after shaving with it. Everything changes when you add water!

Bet you wish you had some lol!
