Lavender is in the middle, but it’s not the lead. Eucalyptus and mint open the bar with something sharper and more grounding; oakmoss and blonde woods close it with warmth and depth. If you’ve tried lavender soaps that felt flat or one-dimensional, this is different.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Why is the bar so dark?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: The deep espresso-brown color comes entirely from the oakmoss and blonde wood compounds in the fragrance oil — no added colorant.
