As it's May we're having a selection of rose products.
This Eglantine (wild rose or sweetbriar) was one of a series of fine English soaps scented after more fragrant roses of antiquity. It is deliciously light and airy, slightly fruity, with a hint of the apple-like scent of the leaves says the packaging.
This is Oberon's speech from A Midsummer Night's Dream:
I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,
Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine:

I love how this post shows soap with box presentation that feels both stylish and practical, the combination of lovely scents and neat packing makes each bar feel like a little gift. Such a fresh way to enjoy everyday cleansing with charm.
