Inspired by the wildflower meadows surrounding Lacock Abbey, Buttercup Meadow Handmade Soap takes its name from the real Buttercup Meadow in the village itself — a small, sunlit field just beside the abbey where buttercups bloom in abundance each spring and summer. Evocative of an English summer's day, this soap captures the warmth, light, and gentle joy of the landscape in full bloom.
Scent & Story
A radiant floral-citrus blend of neroli, sweet orange, mandarin, bergamot, and rose creates a scent that is both uplifting and softly sensual. Neroli brings a honeyed, sun-warmed floral note, while sweet orange and mandarin add brightness and gentle sweetness. Bergamot lifts the blend with fresh clarity, and rose adds a soft, romantic depth.
Orange blossom has long been associated with love and celebration, traditionally used in bridal bouquets as a symbol of happiness and purity. Harvested at sunrise when its aroma is most concentrated, it carries a luminous, mood-lifting quality. Together with citrus oils known for their bright, balancing character, this blend evokes calm, warmth, and emotional ease.
Ritual
Lather over wet skin to cleanse and soften, or use in the bath to release its bright, sunlit aroma into the water — a simple daily ritual of light and renewal.
