If you love the irresistible scent of sugar donuts, then you simply must try these donut soaps next time you shower.

[Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/create-a-wedding-registry) soap creator 'Soapoptamus' developed these soap donuts after her love for fried confectioneries. These donut soaps are made using a mix of sugary baking fragrances and goat milk soap to leave your skin super soft and clean. Each bar is then molded into a circular donut shape and covered in a [faux-cream soap glaze](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glazed-donut-toothpastes) to mimic an icing donut glaze. The yellow hue of the goat milk creatively colors these soaps golden, just like real donuts. These donut soaps come in a cute pack of six.

If you can't control yourself from consuming sugar donuts, these soaps could be a great way to curb your cravings, while still enjoying the delicious sent of fried pastries.
