Never see to much in the way of posts or reviews on these guys. New to them myself,only hearing about them recently and seeing an occasional SOTD in passing. They are out of Indonesia and not sure how long they have been around. Currently they have 4 scents available, 3 of which are available at WCS.

Received a sample of Conservatory from Tristan Archer (thank you bro!) and was hooked on scent alone! Performance of the soap was good but I wouldn't say elite. That being said they can still hold their own with the rest of the pack. It's a tallow base and I believe Rudd's gave them a 90 on his rating scale. Still a nice lather, slickness, and cushion. The performance easily got the job done. 

Earth of Mankind is probably my new favorite scent. It's fantastic!! Scent notes are Colonial Java, Krytek Haze, Agarwood, & Mystical spice. Perfect for fall and winter but still great for year round.  Similar scent profiles would be Darkfall, Hallows, Autumn Glory, etc. but scent on this tops them all IMO! It's not a "dirt" scent like you get with Petrichor. Even if I do not replace the soap I will definitely replace the splash!

Oaken Lab is currently only available at WCS or at Oaken lab it's self. I'm already working on checking out the rest of the line up. If your after something new, definitely give them a shot!
