Lavender Patchouli Bar Soap: Earthy, Floral and a Little Groovy
Save
A little earthy, a little floral and a whole lot of cozy. Our Lavender Patchouli Bar Soap brings together fresh, herbal lavender and deep, earthy patchouli for a warm, grounded scent that lingers softly after your shower. This bar has a groovy side, and we are here for it.
About patchouli
Patchouli comes from a leafy herb in the mint family, and its scent is deep, earthy and a little sweet, like rich garden soil with a woody edge. It has a reputation as a bold scent, and on its own it can be. Paired with lavender, it softens into something warm and balanced, with a slightly bohemian depth and a fresh herbal lift on top.

How to use it
- Hands: lather at the sink and rinse well.
- Body: work up a lather in the shower with your hands or a washcloth.
- Face: the listing calls it great for face too; use a gentle lather and rinse thoroughly.
Keeping it sturdy
Handmade soap lasts longest when it dries out between uses. Keep the bar on a draining dish away from the shower stream, and it will stay firm. Spare bars stored in a dresser drawer leave a soft earthy scent on clothes, which patchouli fans consider a feature.
A gift for earthy-scent lovers
This is a favorite for anyone who loves earthy, woodsy scents, from the friend with a closet full of flannel to the one who still owns a record player. Tie it with twine or pair it with a woodsy lip balm from the Great Lakes line, and build a set in the Gift Box Builder.
Frequently asked questions
Is the patchouli overpowering?
No. Lavender keeps it light and fresh, and the earthy depth settles into a soft scent after rinsing.
Does the scent stay on skin?
A gentle trace lingers after your shower, which is part of its charm.
