I enjoy the smell, for me it's a solid 4/5, but for this wife it scores a full 5. I smoke pipes and cigars and honestly, just doesn't remind me of those scent, kinda leans towards a more sophisticated and pleasant "pink soap" you'd find in a restroom. That sounds off-putting, I know, but I remember being a kid and huffing that smell whenever a place had that pink soap; and now, as a man, the wife goes out of her way to request it and huff me. Win-win in my nostalgia book! It doesn't take much to whip up a lather for two or three passes, not the most uniform bubbles but that's probably just me.

I'm surprised that this is NOT a tallow soap! It is very slick. Makes lots of lather. I knocked off a star, smells a little heavy on vanilla.
