Inspiration: The inspiration for this soap came from the song El Peluquero by Aniceto Molina. In this song, Aniceto talks about a Salvadoran barber who won the lottery and decided to start his own business. He created a barbershop with two floors and began advertising that he performed all services upstairs and downstairs (Arriba y Abajo). The song is a really lively and fun song that is a staple in the Savaldoran culture. Both of my parents are from El Salvador so I heard this song very often growing up but didn't appreciate it for what was until I grew up and understood the double meanings that are conveyed within the lyrics. It can be considered a little raunchy but it's all for the fun of it. The scent on this one is heavy on the oakmoss and rounded out by the Lavender, Eucalyptus, and Geranium. It is a fantastic blend of a classic and is a must-have in your collection. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I do!
