Tea Tree is a very pleasant scent to me. Swirling performance always satisfies.

Here's another classic soap that relies on glycerin and petrolatum (petroleum jelly) to give you a remarkably smooth finish. No. 88 also lists 'Sea Mays' among its ingredients. I don't know what that is, and neither does Google. I suspect Czech & Speake mean 'zea mays', or in other words, maize (corn). What's corn doing in your soap? Soap makers use cornstarch to help the scent last longer. They blend the starch with their fragrance oils and then mix the sweet smelling dough into the soap base. That's what keeps No. 88 smelling great for years.

I tried to buy this a few weeks back - because of the rose. You have saved me.
I've got a few soaps that say something about rose on the label but then change the topic of conversation once you pop the lid. Take a look at the description on this tub of Morocco: "Walk through the fields of wild roses growing high up in the Atlas Mountains with a masculine floral scent." Enticed? So was I. But T+S's wild Moroccan roses don't seem to have any fragrance, because when you lather this soap, all you'll smell is a shovelful of dirty cade and a few chips of cypress. If you like the smell of an old barn door, this is your soap. Railroad ties to your taste? Dig in. Like hugging tarry telephone pulls? Bring out your biggest brush. Morocco is an epic on cade in all its creosotic glory. Look at the label again. See the pillars of smoke rising in the background? That's what this soap's all about, and their crimson hue is as close as you'll get to a rose in this soap.

WHOLLY KAW / Chypre Rose Concerto
Performance, top contender, like all Tallow WK soaps, protective luxury, whips up like mayonnaise. The scent is a very special rose floral, the splash of lime gives it a faint citrus note, then the amber kicks in and you get this wonderful woodsy smooth rose and patchouli scent but NOT overly floral. Nothing worse than smelling like your grandmother when it comes to Rose
