What's that smell?

Post by JimR »

Can you guys smell that? That gentle scent lingering on the breezes blowing from middle Europe towards Japan?

Does it smell a bit like...a fougere? Gently blended, perhaps, with rich, creamy tallow?

Why, yes, I believe it does... and dear me, it seems to be getting stronger!

Penhaligons?

Can't be that Valobra soft soap because it isn't a tallow base...

I thought it was Cella, which is tallow based.

Don't know why I remembered it as Cella...wishful thinking, I guess. Do let us know how it is, Jim.

Well -- I know one thing for sure -- it ain't likely the Fat. There are import restrictions in the EU and beyond for sheep byproducts. :wink:

*dance of joy* It's only 8.40 outside of Germany!

I'm moving soon, and things will be a little hectic over the next couple of weeks, but keep an eye out in the shopping forum. I ordered extra, and I plan to provide samples for a reasonable charge.
