In the washing of the water

cyranoQuick review on the various Arcana soaps that I have had the pleasure of trying so far. This is pretty much all about the smells. In general, I find that soap is soap when it comes to the actual cleaning of my body. Those around me may disagree but have not mentioned it to me.
Luna de Lobo: (No longer available) A nice deep dark scent, nonspecific and... soft. I was kind of hoping for some pine though.
Ginger Dragon: Sharp and gingery, and I liked the coconut. However, I think this one made me break out. ):
Shambhala: So far, my favorite. I have determined that I will have to buy one to sit on my window sill while I was with the other. I like the earthy red clay and the sandalwood.
Dia de los Muertos: Showed promise, but was disappointing in the end. I smelled very few of the elements, and just hints of those.
Spitfire: Currently in use, and I'm hoping it improves over time because it's reminding me a lot of DdlM so far. The description in the catalogue is very passionate and I'm enjoying the occasional hint of cinnamon.
In general, it seems that perhaps I need to just light some incense or something before I shower, because I want much stronger smells from soaps that I buy to smell good.
