This was the first use of MW Pompelmo e Fiori, and what a fantastic summer scent, it is. It reminds me, very much, of the fragrance, Le Vainqueur by Rancé, which, unfortunately, I finished off last summer. It's a perfect pairing, IMO, which needs to be bought, again. I also feel that this soap could benefit from a little menthol. Nothing much, but a slight cooling would enhance this soap, further. I've sent an email to Michelle, asking if she has considered it. Anyone else have an opinion on this? I'd love to hear the thoughts of those who have already used it.  

I just used the same soap for the first time yesterday and i agree that it's a strong summer scent - not like any other grapefruit I've tried. Now that you mention it, menthol would be a nice addition. I also like your pairing with Proraso Green splash. I think any GIT based splash would also work well.

I've had a reply from Michelle, who is thinking menthol would be a nice addition to the P&F. She is going to make another batch with the same amount of menthol as is present in her other soaps. Sounds great.
