But the scent....Black Pepper and Lime...what a great combo!
What? You like black pepper?
HaHa! Maybe just a little
The Black Pepper & Lime definitely smells nice but it's not nice enough to overtake my #1 Black Pepper-scented soap, the one and only Black Velvet

Did Tom Cruise say, "Black Velvet, there is no substitute?" in a movie or something?

Mike’s Bay Rum t. (Mike’s Natural Soaps) bay & bergamot
Taking ExtraProtein’s advice, I grated this new puck of Mike’s Bay Rum. (I hope it opens the mild scent.) Then I packed it into a square wooden bowl. It just fits. The plastic tub the soap came in was good enough, but there’s something raw about a hand carved bowl that just seems to suit bay rum. And there’s something about bay rum that just suits this time of year. Here in the beach shack, all the windows are open and everything is covered with salty dust. Outside the coconut palms are swaying in the breeze, the surf’s lapping the sand, and the neighbor’s radio is playing Bob Marley. It’s high time for a deep dive into bay rum.
