No, that wasn’t a sneeze

As I’ve been look­ing over my choice for this evening’s lather-producing prod­uct, I’ve decided it is time to try another of the Mama Bear shav­ing soaps — Patchouli.

No, I didn’t just sneeze. Patchouli is the name of the essen­tial oil in this par­tic­u­lar soap. What is patchouli, you ask? My answer is that I have no idea! So, I paid the Mama Bear site a visit and dis­cov­ered the fol­low­ing explanation -

Rich, sweet earthy renew­ing essen­tial oil. Med­i­c­i­nal Prop­er­ties: Anti­de­pres­sant, anti­sep­tic, aphro­disiac, antimi­cro­bial, diuretic, deodor­ant, carmi­na­tive, astrin­gent, expec­to­rant, fungi­ci­dal, seda­tive, tonic, decon­ges­tant, insec­ti­cide.
Safety Pre­cau­tions: Non-toxic, non-irritant.
Patchouli sup­ports the diges­tive and ner­vous sys­tems. Patchouli is a stim­u­lat­ing aro­matic oil, that pro­motes increased feel­ings of desire. When dif­fused, Patchouli help cre­ate an amorous atmos­phere. Embrace the musky sweet aroma as it calms skins cells and enhances the appear­ance of younger-looking skin. This is well known from the ’70’s as an earthy scent and is nice when mixed with a flo­ral or a citrus…

Hmmm, I’m not so sure an ‘amorous atmos­phere’ is exactly what I’m look­ing for as I shave, but we’ll see how it goes. Keep a good thought for me.
