Disclosure: I was sent samples from Buff City Soap in exchange for an honest review. All views shared are mine and mine alone.
Valentine’s Day is agonizingly close, with only 9 days to go. Are you panicked yet? And are you still staring blankly at generic boxes of chocolates in the aisle? Stop. Put down the teddy bear holding the tiny heart. We can do better. You can do better!
Whether you are shopping for your boo, your bestie (Galentine’s shoutout!), or let’s be real, for yourself (the most important love of all), I have found the ultimate answer.
It’s colorful, it’s plant-based, it smells intoxicatingly good, and it has the cheekiest name ever.
I’m talking about Buff City Soap and their cult-favorite scent: Narcissist.
Now, I know what you’re thinking. "Narcissist? For Valentine's Day?" But hear me out. In the world of Buff City Soap, "Narcissist" doesn't mean an inflated ego. Instead, it means you are obsessed with smelling unbelievably amazing, and you aren't afraid to show it! It’s a little bit fruity, a little bit earthy, and completely addictive. Think sophisticated notes of peach, raspberry, and dark patchouli. It’s the kind of scent that makes people stop and ask, "Wait, what are you wearing?"
The wonderful team at Buff City Soap sent me a "Narcissist" care package to test drive some of their popular products just in time for V-Day, and y’all… I get the hype and I am fully converted!
Here is my review of the goodies I received and why they need to be in your gift bag this year, or on the top of your wish list you know you write up and sneak into your sweetie's wallet to help with gift shopping.
The "Me Day" Essentials
My Personal Review of Buff City Soap:
I received four items designed to turn a regular Tuesday night into a spa experience thanks to the kind folks at Buff City Soap: The Narcissist Body Wash, the famous Laundry Soap, a classic Bar Soap, and a fluffy green Loofah.
The Narcissist Bar Soap & Loofah Combo
Let’s start with the OG. Buff City Soap is famous for their visually stunning, handmade bar soaps. My bar of Narcissist was almost too pretty to use with swirls of vibrant colors that look like exquisite marble.
But use it I did! Paired with the bright green loofah they sent, the lather was insane. It’s creamy, moisturizing, and filled my entire bathroom with that incredible peach-patchouli scent. OMG!
It didn’t leave my skin feeling tight or stripped like drugstore soap. I just felt soft and smelled expensive.
The Narcissist Body Wash
Sometimes you just want the convenience of a bottle of body wash over lathering up with a loofah and bar of soap. This body wash is pure luxury. It’s silky smooth and feels incredibly hydrating on the skin.
Honestly, stepping out of the shower after using this made me feel like a million bucks. The scent lingers beautifully on the skin and is not overpowering; just a subtle hint that lasts for hours. If you want to gift someone the feeling of a high-end hotel shower every morning, this is definitely the product for them!
The Narcissist Laundry Soap (Game Changer Alert!)
Okay, this was the product I was most curious about. I’m very picky about laundry detergent. But this? This is the dark horse winner of the bunch.
This powdered laundry soap is boosted with baking soda, so it actually cleans my clothes while making them smell divine. Doing laundry is usually a chore I dread, but opening the washing machine and getting a hit of that raspberry-peach goodness changed the game.
My towels? Fluffy and fragrant. My favorite hoodie? Now smells like a hug from my favorite Buff City Soap scent. It turns the mundane task of washing clothes into a little act of self-care. Highly recommend adding this to a gift basket for something unique any time of the year!
THE V-DAY SCOOP: How to Get FREE Soap!
Okay, if my glowing review hasn't convinced you that you must try Buff City Soap and their popular Narcissist product line, then this definitely will.
Buff City Soap knows we’re all a little obsessed, so they are running an amazing promotion right now.
It’s called the #SudsWithShade promotion. They are giving away a FREE Narcissist item if you participate.
Here is the deal: It’s a fun, interactive way to engage with their brand and score free product. But you have to hurry, because this promotion ends on Valentine’s Day (February 14th)!
Do not sleep on this. If you want to try the scent that everyone is talking about for free, you need to get on it now. Or, if you have someone in mind that embodies the term "Narcissist," then this is that unexpected gift that will leave them scratching their head as they try to figure out who sent it.

Final Thoughts:
Valentine's Day is about love, and honestly, what says "I love you" better than helping someone smell absolutely irresistible?
Ditch the boring gifts this year.

Your partner, your friends, and your own skin will thank you!
Happy Sudsing! XO
