I spent a lot (really too much) time trying to decide what artisan soaps to sample, so I didn't get an order in until this Monday. After reading the forums and reviews, I decided to go with a sample of 6 scents from Mystic Water Soaps, expecting they might get here to California after Christmas sometime. Well, I saw the postman stick a manilla envelope in the mailbox this afternoon and thought that could be them. Sure enough there they were, a gift on Christmas eve and something new to try on Christmas day. They are a nice size and smell great, and I'm looking forward to trying them out. I think I'll start with the Cedar & Sage, but also have the Brown Windsor, Maestrale, Lilly of the Valley, Rosalimone, and Marrakesh.
