I think I read somewhere that when Chris Cullen started making soap he was striving to make a short ingredient list soap that was clean and performed like Martin de Candre. Well, in my eyes he did that very well. Exceptional though is his ability to make masculine scents with broad appeal. Everyone has had, currently has, or should procure his Piment de la Vie. This soap was the first one I ran into that said “things have changed”. Pure awesomeness. Today's soap, La Terre Verte may be even better! Scent strength is a stout 9/10 that lingers post shave. This is a fougere like few fougeres can pull off. Mighty pleasing scent that most of the ladies in our lives would like too. As for performance, Caties always seems to be just a tic better on closeness than most others. Post feel is very nice. So why the name "Caties Bubbles"? To honor his daughter. (Good job dad!)

Mystic Waters Coconut Sandalwood
I just love the smell of this soap. It has a great coconut scent, on an equally strong background that is deep, rich and earthy. The underlying Sandalwood takes the coconut from a summer scent to a year round soap.

Rosa Bourbon t. (Eufros) rich rose
The smell of a rose is so interesting because it's so complex. Well over 400 scent molecules contribute to its aroma (or perhaps I should write aromas). There are so many different roses, each with its unique fragrance – spicy, sweet, lemony, powdery, musky – the list could go on and on. What Jabonman gives us in this soap is a clean, wholly authentic Bourbon rose, not too powdery, not too sweet, just deep and delicious. These roses were first grown on Réunion, an island in the Indian ocean that was once known as Bourbon. Hence the name of today's soap, Rosa Bourbon. (Now you also know what Bourbon vetiver is. Of course it has nothing to do with booze.) Bourbon roses bloom often, and with each flush they give off a deep, rich rosy scent. Rosa Bourbon captures it well, so well, in fact, that on a warm morning it's almost too much. But here in the depth of winter, it smells just right and serves as a fresh foil to all the vetiver, tobacco, and rum that have perfumed recent shaves.

Here is a soap with a very natural rose smell. This is just fantastic. Soap is also at the highest level.
