Lightly scented soaps you find bland

Thanks much Marko . That was a fun piece to write! These are two very different views on the purpose of fragrance so it was an interesting topic to cover.

Black Orchid is a modern classic. Certainly worth the sniff!

I have come across a lot of lightly scented soaps, especially being in Europe where the soaps tend to lack as much punch as the US soaps.

Saying this, I have very rarely come across a soap where it is so light that I can't really smell it.

I would have liked Barrister and Mann Limon to be stronger, not a lot just a little as it is such a fantastic scent.

You are very welcome, the piece was entertaining and thought provoking. I hadn't really considered whether fragrance should be considered as art or for utility purposes. One can wear fragrance for pleasure and adornment and with a specific purpose in mind such as attraction or even concealment. One can wear fragrance for oneself alone or with others in mind. Why do people even create fragrances? Partly for commercial reasons sure but there is more to it than that. Why does a painter paint? To express themselves? To exorcise demons? Because they must? Artistic expression appeals to the senses so it only makes sense that the creation of fragrances be considered an art. I could go on but its time to hit the morning commute
Thanks,
Marko

Figuring out how to insert footnotes in Mailchimp was quite a challenge. Had never had that before.

Thanks to NeoXerxes for writing it and I'm glad you like it, Marko.

This thread has given me many ideas on what to avoid.

To those with Caties Bubbles, I'm glad you guys have had such great luck with the brand as far as scent strength. I never seemed to. Now, after buying the Deal Maker from The Shaving Shop Online, I finally found a Caties Soap (allegedly) that has very nice scent strength that sticks around during the shave. I love The Deal Maker, its much slicker than normal formula Caties too so kudos to Caties Bubbles (allegedly).

For me it would be....

Razorock - Zi Peppino
BWW - Barnacle Bob
BWW - Queen Anne's Revenge
TIKI - Set Sail
Shaver Heaven - Drogon Noir
WSP - Matterhorn
Caties - Un Jour Gris
