Customer Quote:
"I live in Colorado Springs where West Nile is a serious threat (from mosquitoes). I work outside during prime biting hours and needed to find something that would keep those bugs at bay. I heard that Virgil's special ingredient — anise — was a natural insect repellent and I thought it was worth a try.
Well...I am proud to report that I have YET to be bitten this season.
I shower with it in the morning and it keeps the bugs away well into the evening. My son has been bitten over four times, so I gave him a bar of his own. It's worked. He hasn't been bitten since he started using it. I can't tell you how helpful Virgil's has been for our
well-being. We can be outdoors again without worry. Thanks!"

Anise seeds hold all of the magical qualities of this flowering medicinal plant. We chose anise as a key ingredient for our soap because of what it can do for you! Here's a few great benefits:
• Scent Fighter
• Insect Repellant
• Fish and Hunter Helper

We love it when we hear from our customers! Fisherman's Friend works because it is specifically designed for folks who love the outdoors, and uses the natural properties of anise.
Anise is a popular spice that's history dates long before the Middle Ages. It's been used to treat sleeplessness, indigestion, bronchitus and flus...and is found in quite a few Middle Eastern recipes and liquors (Ouzo's famous liquorice taste is derived from anise).
Here's how the anise in our Virgil's Fine Soaps help you:
Reason #1: Smell Better
We use anise because of it's natural scent fighting abilities. Anise naturally cuts through the strong odors of garlic, fish and tobacco, unlike other soaps that merely mask them. We challenge you to find a scent that can defeat it!
Reason #2: Easy Insect Repellant
Anise is an all natural insect repellant. When you're showering with Virgil's Fisherman's Friend, you don't have to worry about spraying sticky old bug repellants on your neck and hands. Our soap does all the work for you.
Reason #3: Catch More Fish!
Fish are attracted to the scent of anise, so we recommend keeping a bar in your tackle box to insure a good catch! Hunters use anise to hide their human scent and "camouflage" them in the field.
Reason #4:
Our Soap Smells Better Than Other Anise Based Soaps
Anise has strong licourice scent...and we don't want you to smell like that. It took us well over 100 batches to develop our signature spicey scent. It utilizes the natural abilities of anise without smelling like overpowering licourice. We know you won't find a better smelling anise based soap on the market.
Reason #5 Simple Skin Care Solution
Combine the unique properties of Fisherman's Friend with Virgil's 3-in-1 skin care formula and you have a bar you can use every day to exfoliate, moisturize and protect your sensitive skin. Many of our customers rate this soap as their very favorite. Try some today!
Now you know more about the "science" we put into every bar.
