The Soaps of Legend

The Soaps of Legend

Legendary Soap ∼

The owner of the Savonnerie des Diligences, Marie-Ève Lejour, a woman of letters and a bachelor of French studies, surrounded by her team, have created a wide variety of artisanal soaps, each with its own legend and illustration, born from the collective imagination of her team.

 

This challenging project of associating a consumer product (soap) with art and creativity, has influenced the course of the Savonnerie des Diligences history. These soaps, which have created the company's distinction, now convey all the love, as well as all the creativity and intensity of joy that animates it.

So if you are looking for unique soaps, we recommend coming by the store to check these out. Not only will you find some distinctive scents like chocolate, cinnamon, honey, charcoal, or balsam fir, you will also hear the legends that accompany them.
