Hotel Soap Project No. 5
Manufacturer: SoMo
Product Name: Conditioner
Source: Unknown hotel, Tokyo
What's hot?: It's Japanese!
What's not?: Not really Japanese; hard plastic bottle; smells like Grandmas
Comments: Using a hard plastic bottle ("HPB") for the SoMo conditioner is slightly less inexcusable than for the agua body scrub. However, unlike the body scrub, you can at least shake the conditioner out of the bottle.
What's more disturbing than the HPB is that the conditioner isn't really Japanese. While one would think that the Japanese body care industry would be more than capable of making its own conditioner, we find that this conditioner is imported from England. SoMo is manufactured by Molton Brown, the same company that supplies United Airlines with toiletries in their international business class amenity kits.
And like so many things from England, this too smells like Grandmas.

This particluar bottle comes from the Cerulean Towers in Tokyo (link included below). I must admit that off all the bath products, this line was one of my personal favorites - I guess I like smelling like Grandma!

Dude, you know it's all about the Jean Marie Farina. You may think those Frenchies don't know how to bathe, but they sure make some good soap.
