good soap, disappointing variety
I've loved Primal Elements soap since I was a kid, but it's expensive to try by buying full bars, and they keep raising the price of this sampler, which they used to call a grab bag and charge a bargain price for (since it's the end slabs they can't sell as full bars), and they keep filling them with a grossly disproportionate number of Christmas soaps.<br /><br />I ordered 3 samplers direct from their website when they offered a special in mid October, and 10 out of 23 soaps that came were Christmas-themed, and 2 of those were duplicates (2 each of Rudy and Skyward). Another 2 of the non-Christmas soaps were also duplicates (2 each of Primal IPA and Paw Prints). The Primal IPAs weren't even in different boxes - they were stuck together, right next to each other, in the same box. (If you're going to bill this as a sampler rather than a bargain pack, and as gift-worthy, at least make sure the soaps within a box are distinct!) Though it's early-mid autumn, there was not a single autumn scent.<br /><br />When I've ordered in the past (whether through them, or Amazon, or RockinGifts), there was a similarly disproportionate amount of Christmas soap, except when I ordered in mid-late spring and got floral stuff instead of Christmas. I've never had luck getting autumn or "oriental" soaps in these packs no matter when in the year I order. This is probably the last time I buy a sample pack unless they add an option to pick the scents included.
