==============================

Real cacao. True rose. The kind of indulgence that makes a random Tuesday feel like Valentine's Day.

This bar started as an experiment in pure pleasure. What happens when you take genuinely good ingredients—raw cacao powder straight from the bag, real rose essence—and combine them in cold-processed soap? You get this. A bar that smells like the world's most expensive chocolate box had a love affair with a rose garden.

We superfat this one generously, leaving extra oils in the final bar because chocolate and roses deserve that level of luxury. The raw cacao brings serious antioxidants to the party while creating a lather so velvety it feels wrong to rinse off. The rose isn't shy or powdery—it's bold, fresh, almost dewy. Together? Pure romance in a soap bar.

"Look, I could give you the whole speech about antioxidants and skin benefits, but here's the truth: I made this soap because I wanted to use it. Every shower should feel like you're treating yourself to something special. This bar? It's permission to be a little extra."

Why You'll Love The Chocolate Velvet Rose

• The scent hits different—genuine dark chocolate meets fresh rose, not a synthetic approximation of romance but the real thing
• Raw cacao powder delivers legitimate antioxidants that actually protect your skin from environmental damage while making the bar look like artisan chocolate
• Creates a lather so smooth and silky you'll understand why we call it "velvet"—this is what happens when you superfat properly
• That post-shower feeling where your skin is soft, lightly scented, and you feel like you've done something nice for yourself

This Is Why We Do It

"This is one of my favorite scents of Em'z Blendz cold processed soap. I have used chocolate scented and rose scented soaps before, but have never encountered this combination together, and this soap just captures it perfectly. It is a genuine, dark chocolate scent (not synthetic or plasticky-smelling) combined with a beautiful, luxurious soft rose scent (not powdery or old-fashioned) creating a wonderfully indulgent, romantic sensory bathing experience. The rich, creamy lather leaves my skin feeling clean, moisturized, and lightly scented. Love it!"

The Ritual

Run the bar under warm water until you smell that first hit of chocolate-rose. Work it between your hands or grab a washcloth—either way, you're about to experience what velvet feels like in lather form. Take your time. This isn't the soap for rushed mornings. Let it sit on your skin for a moment before rinsing. Notice how your skin feels afterward: soft, never tight, with just enough scent to remind you that you chose the good stuff today.
