Whiskey Sour I would say it is lightly scented. I have to really stick my nose down in the tub to get a scent. I think it comes out a little more as you lather it. I really enjoyed it.

Per L&L website:

Please note: The initial smell off the puck is significantly different than the full fragrance once lathered. Please do not judge the soap based on the dry smell, as my soap base heavily mutes the mid and top notes, leaving a mostly musky smell. This scent is normal and transforms into its final form once lathered.

I should have this delivered mid next week and can provide feedback.

Could you take a picture of the tub? I drop Scott an email few days back and he hasn't reply. Wouldn't want to trouble him by sending him another email.

I had the pleasure of using Bandwagon today. The scent is nice and agree that you need to lather it before judging the scent. Medium strength on par with other soaps like Stirling and Mike's. It's not as dank as L&L Darkfall or Trismegistus but I dont think it should be either. It's just a nice clean scent. The menthol in the aftershave caught me off guard and found it to be another great product from L&L.

Just ordered Bandwagon. I wanted to thank you for taking Apple Pay online. Was sweet to order with a touch of my thumb.

Man, that Mayflower is killer. While I'm a fan of florals, not everyone is... This should definitely bridge the gap. It's floral, but not cloyingly so - and subtle. A "darker" sort of floral that's wife approved!

As for scent strengths, Bandwagon, After the Rain, Original and Mayflower are on the light side (both soap and splash).

That's funny, I didn't find Mayflower to be on the light side at all. Pretty stout actually. Could be different batches though. Mine was just a sample after all.

Of that bunch, Mayflower is the strongest. But I'd still put it down as perhaps lighter medium - but just. Compare to Harmony. Now that one's strong.
