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.

But did you like it? Yes, T&S da mostly miss for me on fragrance. Mystic Water and B&M a the same - mostly miss. I tried to buy this a few weeks back - because of the rose. You have saved me.

I have to confess, I did like it because I really like cade. And the lather was very good. I got a good shave, but I was disappointed by the lack of rose.

Took TommyCarioca' s advice and went back to the SV today. I've been using a Maggard PETG to bloom and store the puck. When I removed the puck this morning, I noticed there was some residual soap (from the lather or the bloom???) at the bottom of the jar. Plus, when I pulled the puck out, there was some resistance and bits of the puck broke off. I went ahead and "bloomed" the residual and small soap pieces with hot water while I showered. Loaded a 28mm Timberwolf for about 30 seconds and then face-painted for a good 5 minutes before adding a small bit of water. I didn't agitate until after adding the water and only did so for about 10 seconds before returning to face-painting mode. Did this three more times and ended up with a good gooey lather...
