While their products had come rather highly recommended, I had held off on placing an order with Prairie Creations for quite some time, largely due to the fact that they don’t allow for orders outside of the US to be placed through their main website, requiring you to place it by e-mail instead. But, when I decided to do so, the proprietor Krissy was extremely helpful, and quick to respond.



One thing that really sets Prairie Creations apart is the ability to customize the amount of fragrance they use in the soaps or creams they make. They’re able to do this because they custom-make most of their products to orders, although their website does also list a number of pre-made products that can be ordered as well without a wait.

That having been said, they were reasonably swift to do so. I placed my order which included 4 different types of custom scented soaps and creams, and it was shipped out 9 days later. Not ideal if you need something ASAP, but for those of us with enough stock that you’re not going to run out, it’ll do the trick. Although apparently that turn-around time wasn’t typical, as she claimed they were particularly busy that week (their website says that they’ll usually get orders out the door by a Friday if it’s placed in time to make the soaps on either Tuesday or Wednesday.)

On to the scent. For this one, I chose their “Lick me all over” scent, which they describe as “A wonderful exotic fragrance with base notes of raspberry, cantaloupe, and watermelon, middle notes of jasmine and violet, and fresh top notes of grapefruit and kumquat.” This seems like a perfectly apt description, although as a rather complicated aroma, I wouldn’t necessarily be able to pick out any of the individual notes. But it’s nice and fruity and sweet with a bit of some florals.

As anyone following my reviews should know, I prefer a rather strongly scented shaving soap, so I really appreciated the ability to pick between lightly scented, heavily scented, and regular strength. Naturally, I chose the heavily scented. And delightfully so, it was fairly strongly scented, without any noticeable fading throughout the shave.
