This is an interesting soap. It has a light scent, but it keeps popping out in a pleasant way. It came out of the sample cup kind of dry and chalky, but lathered very quickly with not much water. It gave a slick lather with nice performance.

TTFFC describes the scent: tobacco leaf, cacao, roasted chestnuts, smokey vanilla, and guaiac wood.

Have a good one!
