Dr. Squatch x Harry Potter introduces a limited-edition capsule collection featuring two soaps inspired by the series’ central characters, Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort. The collaboration reimagines their opposing forces of light and dark through distinct scent compositions, natural ingredients, and symbolic craftsmanship.
'The Chosen One' draws inspiration from Harry Potter, combining "bright notes of lemon zest with warm hints of birchwood and vanilla to evoke optimism and inner strength." Enriched with golden jojoba, butcher’s broom root, and pumice, the formula offers a revitalizing cleanse that reflects the character’s enduring resilience.
'You Know Who' channels the essence of Voldemort through "a darker, more complex fragrance profile blending bergamot, black tea, and oud." Infused with corpse flower and black sand, the soap provides a grounding yet intense cleansing experience, symbolizing ambition and power. The collection is offered in curated multi-pack sets and as individual bars for subscribers.
