Beekman 1802 Soap Review

Playing Netflix Roulette I found a show called The Fabulous Beekham Boys. It seemed right up my alley. I grew up loving James Herriot books and a cozy farm filled with bright, wonderful people was just my cup of tea on that day.

After watching the first season I was inspired to try out their soap made from the goats on the farm. I lucked in to a Year in the Country set that showcased a different scented goat milk soap for each month. Great descriptions such as "come along with us for a crisp, snowy day in the pine forest" and "Applewood in the fireplace and walks through crisp autumn leaves". I was sold!

First the price is pretty outrageous. Luckily I didn't have to pay for it since it was a gift. It is $70 dollars for 12 square bars of soap. They come in a cute little wooden tray with a sliding metal top (that doesn't slide in unless I tip the box upside down to try to get it in the end groove.. a little dissapointing).

Presentation wise they are cute and very Martha Stewart-ish.

However these are basically scentless. Every single bar smells exactly the same to me. Lathering up smells no different for any particular bar. Which means for 70 dollars you get 12 fairly small sized square bars of goats milk soap. To be fair, they do seem to moisturize. But truly, no scent.

I'm not really sure who Beekman 1802 is looking to sell their products to. Perhaps the ultra rich with money to burn? But I would think there would be some scent since they make a point of highlighting the lovely scent descriptions on their website.

Review Wrapup: The quality of the lather is silky. The soap is moisurizing. The embossed stamp on the top of the soap is adorable with grass and lambs/goats. The scent is non existant. I wouldn't recommend jumping in with both feet and buying one of the large packages. I don't feel they're anywhere near the price. If you're going to try out the soap make sure and pick up the 2 for 12 dollar deal.
