The first edition stil has not taken place (maybe this Wednesday?), but given that even the Swiss postal service cannot be relied upon any more, we should get going for the preparation for September.

We could proceed like last time and everybody nominates a soap; we could also make it a turning presidency, and we simply decide who sends out the soap this time (and we let that person choose).

PS: Since I'm in Paris, and the Olympic (and Paralolympic) Games will be starting next Friday and last until September, I think it would be safer if this time, it isn't me who sends out samples.

Wednesday is good for me. I'm looking forward to trying Don José. For September, I'll nominate Wholly Kaw Aranceto. This is the scent of an orange grove. Nice mix of orange, earth and green imo. I wouldn't call this a fall scent, so it's goodbye to summer.

I've seen some good reviews of this one. Where does it fall in terms of sweetness?

[-] gcgallant@sub.wetshaving.social 4 points 3 months ago

I don't think it is particularly sweet at all. The earthiness and wood of an orange grove comes through. It is a citrus scent but has the brightness and crispness toned down.
