Soap & Paper Factory - Green Tea Solid Perfume

 

I love solid perfumes.  They're less mess, often take up less space, and I can toss them in my purse without worry that they're going to spill, or leak everywhere. 

 

I apply them to pulse points, just a swipe, and I feel like they last longer than traditional spray perfumes.  Soap & Paper Factory also suggests that they act as a great hair pomade, though I have never tried them as such.

 

 

Soap & Paper Factory makes a lovely selection of solid perfumes. I was sent a pot of the Green Tea scent to try, and instantly fell in love. This is one of my favorite scents as of late. It's light, fresh, with a hint of citrus as well as the light fragrance of green tea.

Clean and sweet, green tea is detoxifying and uplifting. We love this fragrance for its crisp citrus notes. It is loved by both men and women for its deep, provocative scent!

 

Isn't the packaging just darling?  Such a pretty, vintage, vibe.

 

 

There are a variety of other eco friendly solid perfume scent options to choose from if Green Tea isn't your style.  Each fragrance is designed to stimulate the mind, body and spirit.  Next on my list are Midnight, and Gardenia (oh, how I love the fragrance of gardenias!), though honestly I don't see a single scent that I wouldn't at least like to try. 

 

Soap & Paper Factory also offers a line of Soy Candles, Hand Cream, Room Diffusers, Room Spray, and Shea Butter Soaps.  Products are hand crafted in New York.   The entire line of products is designed with the environment in mind. Never tested on animals, and they avoid the use of petroleum, parabens, or phthalates. Recycling is of great importance, and they use recycled materiels whenever possible, as well as encourage the buyer to recycle the containers and items used for the products around the home.  Used up candles can see glass used as a vase, an empty perfume container could be used to store something.  I love that! See beauty and usefulness in everything.

I was really excited because Güd products are by the makers of Burt's Bees, and I've always been impressed by the quality.  When I heard of the Orange Petalooza scent, I knew I had to try it.  Blood Oranges and Hyacinth.  Yes, please!  (and do blood oranges now totally make anyone else think of Dexter?)... orange/citrus is such a happy, and uplifting scent.  It's light and fruity for Summer, but also a pick me up for the bleak days of Winter!

 

There are several other scents in the Güd product line and each include the body butter, body mist, hand cream, and more (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand wash...a full line in each captivating scent).  Products boast of no parabens, phthalates or petrochemicals.  Also, no animal testing, as one would expect from Burt's Bees.

 

I love how HAPPY this brand is...now only is there a smile in the name Güd, the packaging is fresh, bright, colorful, and just...happy! 

 

I loved the light citrus scent of Orange Petalooza line, but I couldn't really give a rave review to anything but the Natural Body Butter.  It's a bit runny for a body butter, but just thick enough.  It's super moisturzing and I really enjoyed using it.  It's great for elbows, knees, and heels.  I also tend to have super dry legs, so when I apply to my heels and knees, I rub the excess into my legs.  It feels so nice for parched skin.

 

 Other Güd scents include:

 

• Red Ruby Groovy

• Pearanormal Activity
 
• Floral Cherrynova
 
• Vanilla Flame
 

I bet it would be awesome to use a combination of the Floral Cherrynova line and the Vanilla Flame line at the same time.  I love Cherry-Vanilla!  :)
