Best Place to Buy a Bar of Soap

This closet-size shop carries "a little bit of everything," says the salesgirl, and she's right: housewares, gifts, bath products, aromatherapy items, women's clothing. The item that draws us through the door is the decadent bar soap by Votivo. It produces a rich, luxurious lather, but the pièce de résistance is the heavenly scent that fills the bathroom once the soap has been opened. We avoid perfumed products whenever possible, but Votivo's vanilla grapefruit combo is a grand exception. Grand in all senses, since it's $9 per bar. But aren't you worth it?
