Description
Hombre Ombré soap is a handcrafted, small-batch cold processed soap. Its scent is a blend of ylang ylang, amber, and orange with a subtle hint of patchouli. Ylang ylang is a yellow, star-shaped flower native to trees surrounding the Indian Ocean. It has a rich, sligthly fruity scent. For that reason, perfumes and colognes sometimes rely on it for a citrus note. In addition, traditional herbal medicine often makes use of ylang ylang. In Hombre Ombré , the ylang ylang and orange balance by the warm amber notes and the spicy musky scent of patchouli. The soap produces a rich lather.
Poured in layers with silver mica lines between them, Hombre Ombré has a neutral gray ombre that fades from near black to light gray based on the proportion of activated charcoal in each layer.
The primary ingredients in Hombre Ombré soap include coconut oil, palm oil, canola oil, olive oil, castor oil, sodium hydroxide, and Vitamin E. Each bar also contains activated charcoal, titanium dioxide, and micas. Each bar of Hombre Ombré is unique with slight variations in size. The bars are approximately 4.5 oz.

I first saw one Amandatory Activity's videos on Facebook and was immediately hooked on them! I really enjoy watching Amanda make soap that looks like food and has amazing designs but it wasn't until I tried Hombre Ombre (I love these clever names btw) that I realized how awesome these soaps really are. Since I've started using this soap I barely need to wear cologne because all day I smell like I just got out of the shower. Great site, highly recommend!

I'm a fan of all of Amanda's soaps, but THIS. I can't say enough about this scent. Not to overshare, but each night I live for my hot shower right before bed and this scent is so relaxing. AND...powerful enough to make the master bath smell fantastic. Thank you so much for this product, I'll be buying more!
