These may not be "all-new" in 2015, but they are new to MY den this year. Here's the Top 5:
1) B&M Leviathan - this soap is at the top of the list and exceeded my expectations. It's dark, complex and completely different than any other soap in my den. Leather, coffee (and who knows what else) blend beautifully together. And the matching splash is a must-have (I get a bit more coffee scent from the a/s).
2) Soapy Bathman Cigar Lounge - yes, there's a cigar in there somewhere, but it's also sweet (lemony) with hints of a rich cologne underneath. Love it with Folsom Capri splash. It's totally different than the many varieties of "captain's pipe" available from so many artisans.
3) Chiseled Face Summer Storm - I'm not sure how you take the smell of dandelions and turn it into a go-to scent! Totally unique and wonderfully constructed. The matching splash is even better!
4) Razorock Chicago - I'll call this a "bright" floral. It's not green, it's more flowery and sharp. I'm from Chicago - I promise you my garden doesn't smell anywhere near this good!
5) Tiki Bar North Shore - in contrast to RR Chicago this soap has a "soft", tropical flower vibe. I reached for it at least once a week last spring/summer.
I'll also add the performance is top-notch for all of the above artisans.
