"Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that humans are capable of working magic." - Carl Sagan, Cosmos

This luxurious soap and lotion gift set smells like deep, warm vanilla. Why? If you’re anything like me, you love the smell of old books. And as per Smithsonian Magazine,

“A common smell of old books, says the International League for Antiquarian Booksellers, is a hint of vanilla: “Lignin, which is present in all wood-based paper, is closely related to vanillin. As it breaks down, the lignin grants old books that faint vanilla scent.””

The goat’s milk soap is stamped with a quote from Carl Sagan in gorgeous gold (like the gilt gold titles on the spines of old books), while the silky smooth lotion with matching vanilla scent is infused with colloidal oatmeal. Your skin will be left feeling soft and clean, and you’ll smell delicious. Plus the handcrafted soap dish made from reclaimed oak will keep the soap nice and dry between uses, making it last twice as long
