In September, 1922, the internationally known British writer D. H. Lawrence arrived with his wife, Frieda, at the railroad station in Lamy, New Mexico. They had traveled from Australia to San Francisco, then to Lamy, to come to Taos at the invitation of Mabel Dodge Sterne, later Mabel Dodge Luhan, the patroness of arts and culture in Taos. It was the beginning of an intense, sometimes strained, relationship. Mabel, daughter of a well-to-do Buffalo, New York family, had a long history of cultivating arts and letters, surrounding herself with famous artists and writers in her salons in Florence, Italy and in New York City. She continued her support of literature and the arts in Taos. Lawrence encouraged Mabel to write about her own exciting life and, while back in Italy in 1925, continued corresponding with Mabel and edited manuscripts she sent to him. Her book, "Lorenzo in Taos," is written loosely in the form of letters to and from D. H. Lawrence, Frieda Lawrence, and Robinson Jeffers, the celebrated poet who had been a guest of Mabel's in Taos, with references to Dorothy Brett and Spud Johnson among others. The book is a highly personal and most informative account of an intense relationship with a great writer. It is an important work and its reprinting is welcomed by scholars and those of us who have come increasingly to respect Mabel's contributions in the world of arts and letters through her support of many individuals and her own creative spirit. Born in 1879 to a wealthy Buffalo family, Mabel Dodge Luhan earned fame for her friendships with American and European artists, writers and intellectuals and for her influential salons held in her Italian villa and Greenwich Village apartments. In 1917, weary of society and wary of a world steeped in war, she set down roots in remote Taos, New Mexico, then publicized the tiny town's inspirational beauty to the world, drawing a steady stream of significant guests to her adobe estate, including artist Georgia O'Keeffe, poet Robinson Jeffers, and authors D. H. Lawrence and Willa Cather. Luhan could be difficult, complex and often cruel, yet she was also generous and supportive, establishing a solid reputation as a patron of the arts and as an author of widely read autobiographies. She died in Taos in 1962.

Works well
Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 6)
I just wanted to update my review as I have had more time to review the product. The presentation is well done and in a nice looking box. Initially it did not smell the best in the box but when it gets wet it has a mild smell that is pleasant. It has a great lather, the exfoliating beads feel good, and it does work well. Great product but the smell is mild.

Masculine Scent
Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 6)
Purchased to try something new. Very good product, smells nice and cleans well. However the scent did not last as long as hoped during the day. On the other hand, if you use it just before a date, it will be just right.

Really wanted to like this soap
Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 6)
I waited until I went through 5 of the 6 bars of soap in this pack. It was very well put together with each bar individually wrapped with a cellophane and a nice paper wrapper. The scent upon opening the box was pleasant. Sniffing each wrapped bar to get an idea of how they smelled left me a little skeptical. So here’s the pros and cons: PROS Small bars but they last a long time. 4 of the 6 are scrubbing bars, meaning they have exfoliating bits of walnut shells in them, which for me, blue collar worker, I really liked. Packaging is nice. CONS THEY ALL SMELL THE SAME! I don’t know why this is, but I can only attribute it to the packaging and them being so close together. Pretty disappointing. The walnut bits accumulate in the bottom of the tub and need to be rinsed down the drain. All in all, decent soap without any noticeable differences in smell. Good enough for one purchase, but I’ll be buying a different brand next time.
