The French understand fragrance and design not to mention outdoor sports like cycling (Peugeot) and football (FFF). This month I chose bar soap Averal Provence named Opium and made in Marseille.

We will be featuring more products from Averal Provence in the coming weeks.

Brand new on the market, Arm & Hammer just released their cleansing and refreshing Foot Wipes.
