What soap/cream did you use today?

 

Apparently I need to get to get my eyes checked.  First time I looked at the pic, I completely missed the bunny and thought the big stick in front of it was a snake!

Not just you ... I know the bunny is there and still have to look for it!!

Wholly Kaw Chypre Rose Concerto

CTS Cowboy Spice

"Top notes of citrus followed up with jasmine, lavender, moss, and cardamom with a base of cedar."

To my nose it's sweet, and a bit reminiscent of some sort of hair product. This is not to say I don't like the scent, just surprised at the scent / name matchup.

(I should say, IF my sample is actually this soap. It's not labeled, but I've been assured that it's this scent)

Smells like a moss-covered cabin tucked under a huge fir tree deep in the northwestern woods. Yeah, you can smell the rain dripping from the cedar shingles.

Dragonsbeard,  how is Lost Souls different from your new King of the North?

Hello Scott

Ok so I’ll try to explain the difference between the King of the North and Lost Souls cause there’s definitely a difference. The Lost Souls is like taking a walk on a cool not cold morning with the sun just starting to brighten and warm the day in a green forest or park in let’s say the Northeast. I can smell the green leaves, the tree saps and the moss that’s on a fallen tree, there is a noticeable woody note and working in a CBD lad I can pick out the Hemp extract easily. I can also pick up the Clary Sage, Lavender and Peppermint I used for the cooling effect in the background. It was a tribute to my ex wife and the almost daily walks she’d take in the local parks and forests in this part of the country.  

With The King of the North let’s pretend that you are the Polar bear who’s near the Ice flows trying to pick up a seals scent but alas they are not visible anywhere so the only thing your smelling is the cold clear air with a occasional whiff of the salt water which has a slight seaweed note to it 

Turning your journey southward you hit the permafrost with the moss dominating your olfactory senses with a tiny bit of the scattered shrubs thrown in. As your hunger drives you even further south you reach the Borel forests. Now your entering into Grizzly and the Coastal Brown bears territory where you smell the sweet Birch, Juniper Berry, Black Spruce, Pines and Fir trees and their needles. The not so familiar smells of the green forest with no snow or ice around you bring hope that you’ll find some much needed food. 

My friend who’s a wildlife photographer that travels the world taking photos of many of the endangered species put her nose on the scent of The King of the North and gave it her approval. As she’s traveled with the Polar bears in Alaska, Greenland and in Svalbard Sweden. I used my imagination when creating the scent after she told me her olfactory journey following the bears  over the phone so I couldn’t wait to get her opinion on the aroma blend I put together from her description as  I’ve never been up there myself. 

Hope that explains the difference.
