For those playing along with the Lather Games on the other website, today's theme is:

Sweet Sunday

Product must be a sugary sweet gourmand.  Products inspired by sweet, desserts, etc. are good candidates for this theme.

I think that if a soap has a gourmand scent, the soap base should also have a gourmand name. So, Crème Fraîche it is! Lovely fruit notes in this scent that are moderated only slightly by the base notes. A perfect choice for the 95°F day we had today.
