Bath and Body Works Gentle Foaming Soap, Sensual Amber —

I knew halfway through my Memorial Day party that I was going to have to review this product for Viewpoints. We were having family over for the party, so the day before, while waiting for my son to get out of the orthodontist, I strolled into Bath and Body Works to buy some hand soap. I don't know what happens in the bathroom that doubles as the onesfor guests and my kids, but the hand soap can disappear in days. Sometimes I wonder if because of the fruit-related theme, they eat it. I wasn't looking for a specific fruit this time, and just wanted a nice subtle color to go in my peach bathroom. I liked the thought of the gentle foaming soap, instead of a having lotion-based one, so I chose the Gentle Foaming Soap in Sensual Amber.

Mind you, my thought was not on the word "sensual" in the name of the product, being that it was going in my kids' bathroom. I just liked the color. I don't think the soap is affecting them "that way," and besides, it would be hard to tell, as my 11 year old daughter can only talk about how she looks and the boys at school, and my 15 year old son only has sex and women on the brain. This makes it hard to tell if sensual soap is affecting them.

After I set the soap up in the bathroom, my daughter came out after being in there for a little while and thrust her hands in my face, saying, "Here, smell my hands." I declined. I'm not smelling anyone's hands exiting a bathroom, new soap or no. It turns out, she was not the only one that noticed.

The smell of the hand soap somehow ended up being a talked about topic when party guests were exiting the bathroom area. My sister-in-law's husband walked out smelling his hands and told me the soap smelled really good. Then he kept going in there every fifteen minutes or so. My sister-in-law came in looking for him at one point, and I told her he was probably in the bathroom again, but not to worry, as I thought he just liked the soap. She immediately smelled her hands and agreed she liked it too. He emerged, and they thrust their hands at each other, saying, "I know, it's the soap!" I have no idea if it worked for them sensually, and I don't want to.

Being a storyteller, I knew right there I had a good one on my hands. It's too bad the internet hasn't figured out yet how to implement scratch 'n sniff, as it would be the perfect way to check out the Gentle Foaming Soap in Sensual Amber yourself. You'll either have to buy it blindly online based on my suggestion, or stroll into a Bath and Body Works on your own.

I love it when I find something like that, and with a bath and body outlet nearby I will have to look this one up.

One thing for sure, if they like the soap you know they are washing their hands often! ;)

LOL!! I wouldn't smell anyone's hands exiting the restroom either!! That is a great scent though! I've had the shower gel and body lotion so now I want the hand soap!
