That sounds like a scent I would enjoy. I'll have to keep that in mind to try after I use up a couple of the soaps I already have.

I just received Soap Smooth Bergamotes de Nancy and had to do a quick two-pass shave with it this afternoon. Top notch scent profile--I am surprised my den had nothing like this beforehand. The scent is extravagant and refined, with crisp but not overpowering citrus and the relaxing tea aroma. Imagine a tea house in an old Sichuan village.

If this sounds intriguing, I encourage you to pick up a tub. If you're on the fence, PM me and I'll send you a sample.

I asked my very picky wife what she thought of Begamotes de Nancy. For context here are a few popular soap scents and her responses to smelling them: Catie's Bubbles Le Piment de la Vie, "Old Man Smell!"; RazorRock XXX "Old Man!"; SC Respect "Old Man with lots of limes!!!". When I asked her about Soap Smooth Bergamotes de Nancy she said, "mmm, smells nice". Smile

Disclaimer: In no way does my wife's opinion on the aforementioned soap scents reflect my own. ( i like all of them)

I've grown really fond of my Midnight Garden scent. It's received a few good reviews but for some reason it hasn't really been a big seller (Must be my sub-par marketing!). I was never fond of floral scents until this one, it has really grown on me.

What floral notes are in this soap? I'm quite partial to floral scents. Smile

I can't wait to try Green tea and Bergamot, but the USPS has had it delayed in St. Paul for the last 3 days!

If we're talking scents, SandalRose. I love it but I think the rose in the name turns people off. More women buy it than men. I think. Or at least they talk about it and ask for it. Don't have a large sample though, so....

My new Formula T is my new baby. And the bath soaps don't seem to get any love. But the Mechanic's soap has been completely ignored. I think it works great and is a good idea. :|

did you send it out to a few mechanics shops to see if they'd be interested in sampling it?

I sent some samples to a few places, but the difficulty in manufacturing it and the near complete lack of interest made me decide to stop while I wasn't behind.
