Paintbox Soapworks This Charming Man Sorbetto

This body scrub is awesome because it has me singing The Smiths songs* in the shower.

This Charming Man smells of clean and is perfect for anyone who doesn't like strongly perfumed or girly scents. The listed notes are tobacco flower, green cardamom and spices (clove, cinnamon and anise.) The spices are blended deftly and subtly; I can't individually smell any of them strongly and it's a clean, green cologne spice blend (rather than a warmer, woody spice blend.) This Charming Man is a masculine scent, but I love it for a clean, wake-up shower smell.

This scent is also available in soap, Slip body lotion and a shaving soap. All are available from Paintbox Soapworks on Etsy: www.etsy.com/shop/paintboxsoapworks.

A note on the international shipping costs: these have increased recently due to USPS putting up their prices. It does now mean that shipping costs to the UK costs more than the price of the scrub itself. I wish that more of the total cost was going to Paintbox Soapworks, but £14 (including the shipping) is still a price I have no problem paying that for these, and the cost of shipping reflects the fact that these are 10oz instead of the more usual 6oz size of most body scrubs. It's also a good excuse to buy two at once, and save a bit on the shipping.

*Hands up if you have 'This man said, "It's gruesome, that someone so handsome should care."' going round in your head now.

  1. I know only one Morrisey/The Smiths song, and have NO IDEA what you are talking about.

    1. You're...kidding, right? I'm going to have to force you to listen to my playlist next time I see you.

  2. Nope ... "I'd go out tonight, but I haven't got a stitch to wear" is the line that popped straight into my head, LOL.
    I only sing in the shower when I know no one else is home.
    I should get one of those in-shower cd-players, that would be AWESOME.

    Here's for anyone who hasn't heard the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGnjrTkv1gs

    I think I'll have to order from Paintbox Soapworks AND Haus of Gloi next time I'm in the US.
    I'd like to share a scrub like this with my husband, but he doesn't tend to like scrubs in jars because he can't work out how to not get water in them.

    1. I bought my Stepdad one of those shower radio/CDs - he loves it! (Ma....not so much). They do this scent in a soap too. Mr London doesn't see the point of body scrubs at all, but I think it's because he's quite hairy (probably an overshare there.)

  3. As soon as I saw the title, I immediately got it in my head... I have a feeling it's stuck there for a while...
