One soap carnation, medium size
You are buying a single carnation-shaped soap flower in a medium size. Not several stems — one flower arrives to you, hand-shaped with patient work from gently scented soap. The medium size means the flower is visible from afar, yet not sprawling — ideal if you wish to give a slightly more impressive piece, or if you would like a noticeable but restrained ornament on your shelf.
The character of the carnation
The special petal structure of the carnation can only be rendered faithfully by hand. You receive a flower whose every petal has received separate work — and this is perceptible when you hold it. The character is warm yet restrained: not loud, yet a piece of independent beauty. A single stem stands on its own and does not require a composition.
Three ways to use it
You have three options. As a gift, a single flower can be presented tied with a ribbon or placed beside a greeting card. As a home decoration it suits the bedroom dresser, the living-room shelf or the bathroom — and its gentle fragrance gradually becomes perceptible in the room. As a real soap it produces a soft lather in contact with water; if you lean toward the practical, you may use it for hand washing.
Durability and storage
This soap flower does not wilt. You do not need to tend to it, do not need to change water, do not need to worry that it will dry out in a few days. Stored in a dry place away from direct sunlight, it preserves its shape for many months. The fragrance is also perceptible gradually, for months.
When it is worth choosing
You should choose this medium carnation if you are looking for a noticeable but restrained gift, or if you wish to bring a beautifully hand-crafted ornament into your own home. The carnation is an especially kind choice for elderly relatives who appreciate traditional flower shapes and long-lasting, hand-made pieces.
