The pine tar and pine oil used in our products are extremely important to their performance and help to create the unique scent. Particularly in the bar soap, you might notice slightly smoky overtones combined with a fresh piney aroma which fades soon after use. Scent is a very individualized sense but visualize sitting out by the campfire, surrounded by fresh pine trees. Consider this proof that you’re getting the REAL DEAL with a product made using true pine tar and pine oil in all their glory and NOT an added fragrance or imposter!
