Earlier this week, several Maxima soaps were listed on The Razor Company website, including Iris, but as expected, Iris and a few others have already sold out. If you do see Iris in stock anywhere, place your order IMMEDIATELY as it won't be around for long. 

The scent notes in Dior Homme Intense are: Lavender; Iris, Ambrette (Musk Mallow) and Pear; base notes are Virginia Cedar and Vetiver. The scent notes in Aion Skincare Iris are: Iris, Orris, Woody notes. Orris is a very rare, expensive ingredient produced by grinding up the rhizomes of the Iris plant, thus it complements Iris well. If you are able to purchase Iris and do not like the scent, you should have no difficulty selling it. The scent is in high demand.
I posted a shave with Aion Skincare Iris and Dior Homme Intense about a month ago.  I made no secret of how much I enjoyed the soap's scent and performance, as well as the scent interaction between the soap and perfume.  So it won't be a surprise that, FWIW, I share RayClem' s point of view and find his post encouraging.  That said, not much pleases everyone, so anomaly1985' s views are no surprise either, at least not to me.

OTOH as I write this, five different Aion Skincare titles are still in stock at The Razor Company, including Trésor (in which both anomaly1985 and myself have expressed interest).  And IMO, trying to judge how quickly anything will sell out is a very risky business.  Just sayin'.
I do like Dior Homme intense and parfum, not my favorites though I tend to save it for more formal occasions.  I picked up purple soap which is the same or very similar to Maxima Iris almost a year ago.  It is so good I made sure to get my hands on a tub of Iris as well, it works well with Dior Homme but its not the same.  Its more of a creamy Iris if that makes any sense without any trace of the purse lipstick vibe.  It smells like an expensive spa soap.

I recently had to do a lot of traveling for work and burned through 3/4 of my mallard tub cause its all I brought.  So I really hope to see it released more regularly and not change much.  I know Mo likes to be creative but this scent I think could be a staple for him.

This is a helpful description. The purse lipstick note was what I was concerned about. Grabbing a tub for sure. Creamy iris sounds promising.

I'm so excited to see so many people liking the Iris scent! It'll be one of the first fragrances in my new bar soap line. I've finalized the formula. It's truly special. Now, I'm designing the perfect box to hold it.

Taking suggestions, what scents would you like to see in bar soap?

I'm thinking....
Iris
L'avventura,
Spa (exists as a preshave, and will be an upcoming Maxima soap)
Laundry II (will be renamed)
Luxor
Red Soap label (will be renamed)
Lavender (the latest release). It's a phenomenal scent!

If it was triple milled would be epic.

L'avventura, Luxor, Red Soap - Yes to these three.  They're part of my group of favorite scents, especially the red labeled Soap.
Laundry II - I found the scent to be a bit too strong.  I blend mine with Pura.
Lavender - I'm indifferent as I don't care for lavender and I've tried many.

Iris and Spa I have not had the pleasure of smelling.

A fine list!

I'll make bar soaps with this family of scents.

Everyone wants L'Aventurra bar soap. That makes me very happy!
NyChypre will be released as a Maxima soap - renamed Chypre Muguet and bar soap
There is a new Magnolia (Green Tea and Magnolia) and bar soap
A revised Cedarwood in the Maxima base, and bar soap.

I would love to import a few machines from Italy to make triple-milled bar/shaving soap. Maybe I should do Kickstarter Wink I need to raise about 0.5 million for the machines and 0.5 million for the space.
