Not sure why I couldn’t get that as an audio only podcast but ok. Yeah that was quite the grumble session, while Ben was fairly candid in his comments, he wasn’t quite as blunt. Interesting for sure.
Did we grumble? I honestly haven't watched it and don't remember that well. Sorry to hear that we were off-putting; sometimes, it's easy to get caught in the idea of "honesty" and go a little over-board.

I’m hoping to be able to comment on Almond and Leather scent shortly. Ordinarily I’m not a leather fan but Ben has such a light hand with the fragrances that I figured I’d take a chance. I haven’t tried any others
Agreed that Mood Indigo is excellent and the Tusk base equally so. I purchased the full set after someone suggested that we do a blueberry oud fragrance. I had no idea that Mood Indigo incorporated those features, so I ordered some in order to make sure that I don't step on Ben's toes if I opt to experiment with the idea. It's wonderful stuff.
Hi Will, you guys weren't off-putting but it was candid to be sure - I think its good to be candid but I think when there are three of you it can possibly be a little much. Too be fair, I'd rather hear you be candid than to listen to artisans gush about how wonderful everything is when you know its just not all sunshine and roses. I don't recall the Lather Talk episode that was but I know I didn't listen to the whole episode. I probably could have used better phrasing than "grumble session" like "candid"
I thought you already had a blueberry noted soap but I might be wrong. I have so many of your awesome creations that I lose track. Have you ever thought about a blueberry and coffee scent? I say that because of an incredible blueberry Harrar Ethiopian coffee I bought and roasted several years ago from Sweet Marias - such blueberry notes in a coffee are unusual and I've been searching since then to find more but it just isn't there. I picked up some Burundi beans from Sweet Marias recently that comes close though.
Ah, okay, that's fair. I try to be candid when I can: as you commented, it's tiring to hear that everything in sunshine and rainbows, especially when it's very clearly not.
On the blueberry subject, no, we've never done one, but I don't want to clog up a thread about House of Mammoth products with a discussion of what we might do in the future. I simply dropped in to say that I think that both the Tusk base and Mood Indigo are fabulous, and I am extremely satisfied with all aspects of the soap, balm, and cologne.
