Aroma-nation story telling: Waterfall Glen Soap Company evokes romance & fantasy through aroma

Belleville, IL – In a bold departure from traditional scent descriptions, local artisan soap makers at Waterfall Glen Soap Company are captivating customers by using evocative, romantic, steampunk, and fantasy imagery to portray the complex aromas of their handcrafted bars. Eschewing simple notes like lavender or citrus, Waterfall Glen Soap is tapping into the powerful link between scent and memory, painting vivid sensory landscapes with their product descriptions.

"We believe that scent is more than just a pleasant sensation," explains Doug Coggeshall, founder of Waterfall Glen Soap Company.

"It's a key that unlocks forgotten memories, sparks imagination, and transports us to other worlds. Why simply say 'rose' when you can evoke the memory of a stolen kiss in a moonlit garden?"

Coggeshall's unique approach is evident in the descriptions accompanying his popular "The Alchemist" bar. Instead of dryly listing ingredients, the product page describes the aroma with a fantasy image of a nondescript figure wearing a long sweeping hooded robe in a natural wooden setting. "The Alchemist sought not only to create gold, but also to discover the elixer of life, and achieve personal and spiritual enlightenment through transformation."

It speaks of alchemists in their smoky workshops, grinding herbs with pestles of polished bronze, of intricate mechanisms powered by steam and ingenuity, releasing their subtle, grounding essence into the air."
