Handmade Soap: April Showers

April Showers soap is scented with a fragrance oil from Simbi Fine Fragrances called Bright Sunshine. It has a lovely, bright, citrusy scent that is cheerful and sweet and a little bit exotic. This bar weighs at least 5.5 oz (156g). All soap is priced per bar (though several bars may be shown in the product photos).
