Scent Description
Every so often a fragrance comes along that truly pushes boundaries, and Latte e Menta is one of them. Inspired by the classic Italian summertime refresher—sciroppo di menta (sweet peppermint syrup) poured over ice and finished with chilled milk—this scent marries the cool, triple-mint sweetness of spearmint, peppermint, and Thai mint with a sophisticated woody heart. Guaiac wood lends notes of tanned leather, dark honey, and pipe-tobacco earthiness; hinoki adds a peppery, cedar-fresh lift; and ambroxan contributes a sun-bleached, mineral driftwood warmth that anchors the composition. Blended with creamy milk facets, the result is a bouquet that is simultaneously sweet, airy, complex, and richly comforting. Playful yet refined, Latte e Menta is a standout addition to any collection and feels perfectly at home in nearly any setting.

Base Description
Legacy is Ariana & Evans’ flagship base, and its pedigree shows in the rich roster of skin-loving ingredients. Tallow provides the creamy, dense backbone that delivers exceptional cushion, while a suite of butters—kokum, shea, illipe, murumuru, and cupuaçu—adds deep, lasting moisturization. Glycerin, aloe, and castor oil boost hydration and glide, and both primary and residual slickness are further elevated by tussah silk fibers and silk amino acids. The result is a truly luxurious soap that pairs top-tier performance with enduring skin benefits. If the goal was to make a premium product which withstands the test of time, Legacy is exactly that.
