This is the best this soap has ever smelled to me. I blame @pridetwo@sub.wetshaving.social and his biased review that mentions florals. “Aha!” said my nose after reading that. In the past I just found that part of the scent unpleasant, but being able to call it “floral” makes it smell much better. It’s no longer some strange, volatile, smell, but something natural and real.
It’s interesting reading other people’s accounts. There’s definitely a mature, darker side to the scent, but I still can’t put a name on it. To other people it’s clearly leather and whatever else, but to me it just smells “good”.
This event being scheduled today was a big coincidence for me. The theme of this scent is life and death, and it just so happens my wife finished chemotherapy yesterday. It also just so happens that we’ll likely need to put one of our dogs down tomorrow. Life and death, indeed. She’s an old lady at 14 and has had a wonderful life.

Hope that this will have been her last chemo (in a long life)!
