Vinolia Otto was the ambassador soap of the White Star line.
Every first class passenger of the Titanic was issued a cake of this lemon scented luxury. Bathtubs on steamers of this era were armed with fresh and saltwater spigots. It was very in vogue to bathe in invigorating salty waters.
You can actually still buy this nostalgic soap here! You might want to wear your life preserver in the tub though;)
