Puro Fresco t. (Cold River Soap Works) citrus, rose, nutmeg

This soap’s been three years in the pot and it’s losing its glorious scent. CRSW recommends that you use their products within a year of purchase. I see now why. The lather is still its same splendid self, but the citrus has flown and the rose and nutmeg have been muted by time. The scent of goat’s milk is bleeding through, not exactly pure or fresh. Luckily I have a bottle of balm that still smells wonderful.

Yes sir, I went right back to it and this time was much better. Last time the scent was all over the place. This time it was much more honest and more what I would have expected. Perhaps I needed to work the "skin" off the soap or maybe I hit a pocket of cardamom but this time the lather was juniper berry from start to finish. And surprisingly, the extremely tight finish of yesterday was one of more mild drying today. Still not the finish I get with Mystic Waters but much better than yesterday's Sahara. This soap has reminded me that chasing rainbows for the ever-better lather, glide, post, is most likely a myth. This is good soap but it doesn't take me on a bronc ride through the junipers in the heat of summer like Cade does. It doesn't lather as easily as my favorite AOS Sandalwood. It doesn't finish like mystic waters. It's a good one for sure but it'll be hitting the trail as I have so many more I like better.
