If I had to make an educated guess, the artisan just went with a name that sounds french enough to be believable for their cherry tobacco soap. It’s the same with some pseudo-latin that sounds intelligent enough to impress some people, but actual latin teachers will laugh about it.
I think you are probably spot-on! The woman who owns Elysian Soap Shop is in Pennsylvania. This is dumb, but I’m curious enough that I think I’ll ask her. It’s a great scent, but to me, the name is (obviously :) ) distracting.
