I purchased some samples and am loving the soap performance so far, however, I could stand for the scent strength to be a little stronger. I have only used Windjammer and Poggio dei Pini so lots of other scents out there. I know you have purchased quite a few lately . Have you noticed the overall line to be lighter scented? I know we are all different but was curious if it was just me. Thank you.
I think the scent strengths are all quite nice of the ones I've purchased. Poggio, although an awesome scent, was a little to strong for me. Not during the shave; but after the shave. It lingered on my skin for hours, which was not for me. I do wish LOTV was more potent though. It's such a nice scent and would be better if it were stronger. I usually super lather LOTV with a very light amount of CF Lavender.
I find Sardinian honey and raspberry lemon also linger on the skin after the shave but in a much more pleasant and enjoyable way versus Poggio. I love them both!
I also conclude that Lilac, Jasmine, Yellow Rose, Sandalwood Rose and Egyptian Dragon's scent strengths to be on the money. I will be trying 5 or so others in the coming weeks and will chime in on those as well when I've had a chance to use them.
And I believe for those who LOVE Marrakesh and Jeff's Lavender probably wouldn't mind them being a tad stronger. However, they are in no way super light. More of a middle of the road type of deal. I feel they are perfectly fine, but I honestly don't reach for them (nothing to do with scent strength) as I prefer others after experiencing most of Michelle's scents. And no lavender scent has been able to conquer CF Lavender for me.
Viola di Bosco is another very strong one to my nose. It's a nice scent but became cloying for me personally. it reminded me to much of a feminine lotion (can't remember the brand). However, many people really like it, and I would suggest getting a sample of this one if you want to try it. I gave my puck away to someone who does enjoy it so all worked out in the end!

Thank you great info. I did get samples of Jeffs Lavender, Lavender Lime, Raspberry Lemon, and Pompelmo & Fiori as well but have not tried them yet.

I still haven't decided which TR I'm ordering and, Patchouli is on the short list.I’ll take it along. It’s a scent that took a while to get used to. But the more I use it, the more I like it. Not a favorite scent by any means, but an insteresting one.
Whenever I go to shave, I assume there’s someone else on the planet shaving, so I say “I’m gonna go shave, too.”

Beneath layers of citrus and wood, you can smell the cold, wet stone. The puck is as black as a plum and as hard as a rock, but the lather is a cloud of soft, white snow. It’s slick and leaves your face feeling polished like marble. If the Park Service ever decides to shave the statue in the Lincoln Memorial, I know what soap they should reach for.
