Gwammy just gave me a pack of Heno de Pravia soap, something that I haven't seen in ages. Sold in Spain since 1905, the scent of this bath soap has been ingrained in my memory since childhood. Gwammy used to purchase this from PX stores in Clark and Baguio, and sometimes she would find retailers carrying the soap at Cartimar, Cash & Carry and Greenhills. I was a bit surprised to read from the box label that the soap is now locally made by Perfumeria Espanola Corporation, a joint venture company between Perfumeria Gal SA of Spain (I think Gal is a Puig subsidiary) and Chemphil. Still the same scent, sweet and playful to the nose.Monday, September 21, 2015
