Nonetheless, Ocean Laguna made it easy because their products are solid. Their website claimed that their goods are “ocean inspired”, and that rang true as I scoped the stylish wave designed, decorative soap bars. But since I am not used to trying out cleaning products (especially ones that seemed a bit feminine upon first glance), I had no idea what I could write about that sweet smelling package.
Did I say “sweet”? Oh no…This is not my thing because I write about wax and sunscreen and leashes not sweet soap, but wait a second. The smell isn’t sweet; it’s clean. I’m talking fresh and clean. I can write about “clean”.
It’s more than clean, but what could I call it? “Like salt air”, claims the company slogan, but my wife was claiming it smelled “fresh to the core”. That's a quote if I've ever heard one.
My daughter said, “Aaaah!” So maybe I can term it “Ah-inducing”. I can’t call it “invigorating”. That’s just a bit too Irish Springy. “Crisp” is too soft drinky. “Sensual” is too freaky. How can I write about soap smell for God’s sake?
Maybe I can describe the look. I can find words to bring the cool, blue glycerin to life.
Maybe it’s perfect for a decoration for a surf-themed bathroom, placed amidst seashells and starfish. Nah, I can’t write about decorations because I like to use stuff. I like function not fashion.
So I think I’ll focus on the smell after all and mention how my family walked around after showering asking “Do I smell fresh?” Heck yeah we did!
In retrospect, this“ah-inducing” glycerine soap and body wash (rife wih sea kelp and "rich in natural marine nutrients and aloe vera gel) that my beach-oriented loved ones put to the test not only made us feel and smell “fresh to the core” , but the soap’s “ocean inspired” look even added a beachiness to my bathroom, and I can’t argue with that.
So I guess I must stand tall and decry with loads of words that don’t exist and a plethora of phrases in parenthesis that Ocean Laguna’s decorative and clean-smelling cleansing products made me feel a whole lot fresher and smell like a palmfull of the still blue Caribbean. There, I did it. I wrote a full review about soap and I think I'm a better man for it
