A little goes a LONG way with this oil, so don't go too crazy slathering it on! Leave on for 1-2 mins, then wash out completely. You probably will need to wash your hair at least 2-3 times after using this product to avoid leaving too much residue in your hair. This is pretty potent stuff, so our little 4-oz. bottle should last you quite a while!

La Vida Dulce Wire Soap Dish We address the issue of handmade soaps and shampoo bars melting more quickly than their commercial counterparts in the FAQ's. To slow this process down, we recommend a wire soap dish like this one to let your shampoo bar properly drain between uses, and therefore last longer than it would in a non-draining soap dish. (We like one-stop shopping!)

Czarina Cold and gorgeous, this frozen belle has a peppermint-and-cucumber core, perfumed by a salty/sweet undertone of ocean and pear. This blend is as icily beautiful and uniquely refreshing as wintertime on the banks of the Neva River -- at the royal residence, natch!
Esquire Our first blend aimed at the men in our lives, Esquire is a sophisticated, masculine blend of amaretto and leather with the barest hint of coconut to turn down the heat. All smoking jackets and luxury, this is a terrific blend for a man who thinks he can take on the world--and win!
System Shock For those of us who keep vampires' hours, this is a blend of coffee and chai tea, spiked hard w/the scent of clove cigarettes. A caffeinated firecracker of a scent, this one's for those who have a love of midnight movies, late-night parties, 3 a.m. all-nighters, and who know that dawn is merely a punishment for the wicked. (My eyes! My eyes!)
Teenage Gorgon Snapping bubble gum, cool banana, and a tart afterbite of lime evoke the wild-haired days of an adolescent gorgon. Sugary-sweet with just enough defiant citrusy fire to keep it from being cloying, this blend rocks as hard as summer vacation with a bit of a twist!
Venomous The first blend we ever polled our customers about, this cold, midnight-black blend bites hard with a hot, potent combination of cinnamon, amaretto, and vanilla. Like a femme fatale, the cool outside belies the intoxicating heat that sinks into your bloodstream faster than the bite of a cobra. At this time, we have no antidote for the aftereffects.
