Patchouli Bergamot Soap

Oh, chèr, patchouli and bergamot might not have grown wild in the Louisiana swamps, but their spirit fits right in with our rich history of trade, tradition, and a little bit of mystery.

Back in the day, Louisiana was a bustling hub of commerce, with ships rolling in and out of the port of New Orleans, carrying exotic goods from all over the world. Patchouli, with its deep, earthy sweetness, was prized for scenting fine fabrics shipped from India—it became a mark of luxury and authenticity, so much so that traders had to add it to their goods just to prove they were the real deal. And bergamot, with its bright, citrusy kick, found its way into perfumes and teas, adding a touch of refinement to the Southern way of life.

So when you lather up with Blind River Soap’s Patchouli & Bergamot blend, you’re not just indulging in a rich, complex scent—you’re stepping into a legacy of trade, craftsmanship, and timeless elegance. It’s the kind of fragrance that whispers of old-world charm while keeping you fresh enough for a fais do-do.
