ACVail24 Report post Posted January 24, 2008 (edited) Sleet Soap Eucalyptus, menthol, two mints, and sparkling white citrus blast you with a bracing, enlivening chill! Water, saponified free-trade palm kernal oil, coconut oil, soy oil, shea butter, jojoba oil, castor oil, Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab perfume oil, and alkanet powder. In the Package: The wrapping is a wonderful shade of blue, like an icy blue pond - and antiqued yellow parchment. Faint - a mint and grapefruit swirled scent, light and fresh - but not cold. the scent is very mild and almost undetectable. I had my nose up against the paper to identify the notes. Dry, Out of the Package: Scent is a little stronger now - and surprisingly, the grapefruit dominates the mint note. the color of the soap is a light blueish gray with a very slight swirl of peach. There are also some little particles in this soap that vary in color from light tan to dark chocolate brown. Used, Out of the Package: Very smooth silky texture, more mint scented now that the soap is wet. It's still a nice balance of mint and grapefruit, but I still don't have a 'cold' feeling from this scent, it still just seems fresh. unlike the soaps with red clay, Sleet has no color in the suds and rinses clean. interestingly, when I use this soap, the scent of mint and grapefruit seems to mingle with a cream sort of note. The scent becomes creamy; almost ice cream-ish. my hands feel lovely after washing with this, and my bathroom has this delicate creamy minty grapfruity scent lingering while the bar dries. Verdict: I really love this soap - the color is interesting, as is the resulting creamy scent that eminates from it. if this scent had been a perfume in BPAL's catalogue, it's quite possible I would have found a new favorite scent to replace Venom as my all time holy grail BPAL. Beth, please make Sleet again next year! (or the year after, or after, etc) 10 of 10 ranking!! eta: BPTP description Edited February 2, 2008 by Shollin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
