Poured in batches of 32 — when a batch sells through, it's gone until we pour again.
Black Tie Affair is a dark, polished bar inspired by Mind Games French Defense, created to feel smooth, elevated, and dressed for the occasion. It opens with rich black cherry merlot, moves into a refined floral heart of mimosa, palmarosa, and lavender, and settles into a smooth cedarwood finish that feels bold, classy, and just a little mysterious. The overall effect is dressed-up and masculine-leaning without feeling too heavy, making it a bar that feels both luxurious and approachable. Created as part of our collaboration with Jahmai Miller, this bar was designed to feel gift-worthy, memorable, and presentation-ready for the clients he serves, bringing a polished, confident energy to the set while still feeling personal and intentional.

Good to Know
Each bar is handmade in small batches, so slight differences in color, pattern, and appearance are normal.
The scent will stay consistent, even though the swirl and exact shade may vary from batch to batch.
For best results, keep your soap dry between uses on a draining soap dish. Handmade soap naturally lasts longer when it is allowed to dry fully between uses.
Because this is a handcrafted product, no two bars will look exactly alike.
Discontinue use if irritation occurs.
