Firstly, it's a relatively hard soap so I bloomed it while in the shower. It lathers very well, but then again so do many other soaps. Regardless, the smell was fantastic, but incredibly feeble. They should have added much more of the beautiful fragrance to this one.
Glide, cushion, etc., are IMO normal for an artisan soap, but B&M it ain't. I give it a 7 out of 10.
