Finished the MW bar a few days ago and decided to go with another brand I haven't tried yet:

I believe this was an experiment to see how sales went.  The Yuzu/Rose/Patchouli is the only one available right now and I believe it is in limited supply.

EDIT: I just checked the Chatillon Lux site and it is sold out.  I sincerely hope Shawn (hawns) will come here to answer a few questions such as, (1) How successful was the sale of the bath soap (in other words, did it sell out as fast as he anticipated)?, (2) If he was pleased with the sale, will the bath soap become a permanent fixture in his lineup?, and (3) Should he go forward with this project, will there be other scents in his current lineup available as a bath soap and might there be scents exclusive to the soap line?

For me, as with a lot of shaving and bath soaps, I found the scent weaker than I do in the eau de toilette.  However, that could just be me and my not great sense of smell.  The scent was noticeable, though, which is more than I can say for a lot of artisan scented soaps.  Also, the soap felt good on my skin and there was no drying feel to it.  Should he come out with some of his other scents, I would seriously consider them.

Indeed, sales were strong enough that I ordered some more of the soap. Now it's just a matter of getting it all made, which is in the to-do list for the immediate future. Definitely going to make more Yuzu/Rose/Patchouli, but currently undecided of which other scents might make it. Probably Gratiot League Square would be the next to be considered, however I probably won't venture outside my best-selling scents (those two, as well as Unconditional Surrender and 88 Chestnut Street) in the Provisions line.

I'll buy that Happy2 I did not know that was part of the plan otherwise I would have been there to get some of the first run.

Any estimate on timing Shawn?

Probably mid-soon to soon-ish, ha. I am spending this week catching up on stock and so I'll probably be keeping small batches going in the background while I work. With what I'm realizing is not nearly enough molds, it'll probably be over a week, maybe closer to two before they are ready to roll.
