Label Art - Share Your Favorite Examples!

[EMG06]

While we might not want to admit it, we have probably all gotten a soap at one time or another solely because of the label art. I wanted to start a thread for people to upload their favorite labels (regardless of what you think of the soap, its scent, or shave characteristics).

This is purely about visual enjoyment!

I’ll lead off with a few of my current favorites:
Ethos Afrika Collection Vanilla Safi


Tallow and Steel: Shikoku


And Barrister and Mann’s Hallows (it took me a year of looking at the label to see the skull and crossbones motif in the background and that subtle detail is why I’m including it here):

Here are a couple of my favorite labels:

i always like this one

 

[Soap Thing]

Here’s one that I bought purely on how the label looked. Didn’t care for the scent at first but it had grown on me. Now I use it quite often.

Lather Bros Calle Ocho

@Scuttlesoap I agree that some of the Gaelic art on the Murphy and McNeil labels can be pretty interesting and attractive. I like these two in particular:

 

[Soap Thing]

Here’s another one that I got sold on because of the label. The quality of the label drew me to it more than the substance of the label. The detail and clarity is just nuts.

Totally agree! I remember wanting Gael Laoch with the black label so badly- I had just started the hobby - but they had sold out and were using the B&W version. So I bought the mentholated one because it still came with the gold sugar skull. Which turns out was a good thing! Turned me into a menth head!

but even the B&W are so intricate and go splendidly with the Celtic themes!

This is a great example of a label and a scent “matching” - classy label and scent that reminds me of a gent in a tuxedo or smoking jacket

I agree it smells exactly how you would expect it to. Very under appreciated brand.

The A&E pin up/naked ladies labels have definitely caused some controversy over on Reddit. I think a few are nice and some strike me the wrong way.
But yeah CBL does some good labels!

Oh and I like how the guys over at Noble Otter dress us their mascot for each label. Too bad I’ve never found a scent from them that speaks to me… Three favorite labels:

I hope this custom label art doesn't violate the TOU.
