I used Viola today and have been on and off for a while. Scent strength is reasonable, maybe 6 or 7 of 10 where CF is 10 and ADP is 1.

Scent lasts, doesn't fade away quickly. Its not really violet, IMO, more flowerly as already described, a bit too sweet for me, not feminine but borderline, but not sickeningly sweet as some others I have tried. GFT Violet is more a true violet, what I imagine as a Victorian violet. Viola is more different flowers to me. Reasonable to use, but Kind of sweet more like a flowerly soap.

Mail Call!!!

I ordered on Friday the 17th and received on Monday the 20th.  Blazing fast!

The Yellow Rose smells really good even in the package.  I'm a fan of rose scented soaps.

My scalp is going to thank me for the shampoo bars.  I've had them before and thought they were great, but I've been without them for a little bit.

The sample of Viola di Bosco seemed to sneak into my order.

Thanks, Michelle!!!

Viola does seem borderline feminine but still a nice one. However, I definitely favor LOTV, Lilac, Jasmine & Yellow Rose. Those four are absolutely outstanding.

Shaved with Raspberry Lemon today. Indeed, a brilliant scent!

I've learned if you want to destroy a mystic water soap and get the best lather possible in the shortest amount of time, the Chubby 1 Super will get you there with ease.

Has anyone tried MW Orange Vanilla? If so, how's the scent?

I have it. It's great and I don't even like citrus scents, typically. It smells kind of like an orange creamsicle but there's something else to it that gives it more depth and sophistication.

Thank you for that! Thinking about purchasing it because I would really like an Orange scent in the rotation. It's either that or Mikes OCBP

You can't go wrong with either of those!

Yea, I've had Mike's. Just wanted to switch it up and Orange Vanilla sounds very intriguing.
