Halloween Soap Cometh

The Soap Box Company, my favorite shop for all things smelly, is the best seller of soaps and oils from the Arcana company. Soon they'll be hosting Arcana's latest Halloween line of soaps and scents. I'll be sure to post it here as soon as they list them.
Here are some of their current offerings:

Smell Like A [Halloween] Man

Sorry, ladies, this entry is for the guys. I've always had a problem trying to find a good cologne. Besides being insanely overpriced, I never seem to find a scent that I can imagine myself wearing, or wanting to smell all day. Thankfully a company that sells some peculiar-scented soaps also makes peculiar-scented oils. Here are some of the manlier scents that I own.


I've previously featured products by the Arcana company, but only recently have tried their oils - don't be alarmed that they refer to them as "perfume oils" - these things are oils. Cool-scented oils. Arcana will be releasing some new Halloween scents this fall. I simply cannot wait to see what they are.

Here's a link to a retailer from which I've ordered. GREAT and quick service from this fine company:
