Miel va. (Lainess) honey, spices, coffee

Miel smells like toasted bread drenched with butter and honey. It’s rich and powerful and not really the first thing I’d think of slapping across my face in the morning. But for those who love gourmand scents, this has got authentic food notes by the barrel load. A deep whiff brings up coffee beans and maybe some cinnamon too. For me it’s all too sweet and gooey. I’m tempted to leave the lid off for a month just to see if the scent will dry out and mellow. The lather, on the other hand, is stupendous. Heavy and dense, this is one of the most impressive non-tallow lathers I’ve ever enjoyed. Loaded with donkey milk, Lainess makes a thick, glossy lather with deep cushion that reminds me of Nuàvia. The finish is otherworldly. It keeps me feeling clean and smooth until dinnertime. Now I just need to find a scent I like.

Puristic Style v. (Meißner Tremonia) unscented

I really like MT’s hard soaps. Easy to lather, they lay down oodles of cushion and leave my hide feeling grand all day. I also love vetiver in all its smoky-rooty-dirty glory. Seems like a match made in heaven, but alas, MT doesn’t offer a vetiver scent. What to do? I ordered a puck of MT’s Puristic Style, one of their unscented soaps. I shredded it fine and then doused it with a couple grams of Javan vetiver oil. This stuff is bitter and dark and ashen all at once, as true vetiver should be. Just for good measure I added a gram or two of Musc Koublai Khan, Serge Lutens’ ode to feral virility. Then I mashed the mess into a jar and let it settle for a few days. This morning when I cracked it open I was surprised and maybe a little dismayed to discover a very civilized vetiver, smooth, mild, and easy on the nose. In fact, it smells a lot like Mike’s Vetiver down to the nutty side note. Khan, though, seems to have headed back to the steppes. No trace of him whatsoever in the puck or in the lather.
   

Love the SL Muscs KK! great sounding blend!
