빌리 비누

The green leaves and neroli hit first, bright and almost crisp, then the gardenia settles into something soft and creamy without turning powdery. I keep catching whiffs of it on my scarf hours later, which is exactly what I want from a floral.

The gardenia note is so true to life, it genuinely smells like a fresh white flower pinned in your hair. It lathers up beautifully and leaves my skin feeling soft without that tight, squeaky-clean dryness I get from most bar soaps. This one's a keeper.

I wasn't sure what to expect from a soap inspired by Billie Holiday, but the neroli and bergamot opening is so bright and fresh, and the velvety gardenia heart lingers just enough. It lathers up nicely and leaves my skin feeling soft without any greasy residue.
