Although not my favorite lavender it is certainly one of the better ones I've tried. The B&M Latha line is a great one and will be missed. As expected the lather was slick and protective. Loading takes very little time and the soap provides the low structure lather I really like. Scent strength is about 7/10 and is an amazing single note lavender to my nose. Floral and herbal all at the same time as though the scent is from the whole lavender plant. Great shave as always with a B&M product.

I enjoy both the current WhollyKaw vegan base and the scent of Noce di Cocco. When I first received the jar, the scent resembled fresh, raw coconut. It has developed into a slightly sweeter scent over the short time I’ve had it, and I enjoy it even more now.

Le Grand Chypre t. (Barrister & Mann) ★★★★★ bergamot, lime, labdanum, oakmoss, peach, rose, frankincense, cedar, cinnamon

This may be the most complicated fragrance you'll ever find in a shaving soap. It takes yesterday's "little chypre" accord of citrus, labdanum, and oakmoss, and rockets it up into the celestial realms of fine perfume. It's rich, enlivening, and satisfying.

François Coty first combined citrus, labdanum, and oakmoss in his Chypre parfum of 1917. He used bergamot to lighten the wild, prickly edges of the resins and to give the fragrance some sweetness. Two years later, Jacques Guerlain came out with own version of chypre, the remarkable  Mitsouko. He had the brilliant idea of accenting the acrid resins with a squeeze of soft peach. Compared to Coty's Chypre, Mitsouko was smoother, suave enough to appeal to a refined woman but still preserving an undomesticated whiff that a man might find attractive. Nearly a century later B&M produced their Grand Chypre. It stays true to the tradition of the great chypres of the past, keeping both Coty's bergamot and Guerlain's peach notes, but it also adds a healthy dose of sparkling fresh lime that makes this night-on-the-town fragrance feel right at home on the edge of a porcelain sink at the crack of dawn.
