Amazing, unforgettable scented soap or cream ~your favorite?
I have loved the scents of many many soaps and creams I've used, but I think the most distinctive and surprising (each time I use it) is the I Coloniali mango soap. The clay bowl is nice, but the smell is incredible!
Wonderful lather too.

T&H Rose, although the old Trumper's Violet was exquisite.
Best,

For me, citrus EO scents are intoxicating, and you only find these in artisan soaps. The downside of citrus EO is that it is very volatile and short-lived once the product is unsealed.

Castle Forbes Lime - in your face, kick up the backside, body slamming right hook of a scent, I love it, unfortunately it dried my skin something terrible. Now I've overcome that issue I may have to get some more, there's nothing else like it.

Charles Tyrwhitt Lemon and Cedar cream...should have bought a dozen tubs and still would if they were available
There are other contenders, but most don't come close. Creighton-made, utterly unforgettable scent.

Neither one is made any more!
1. Trumpers Violet shaving cream, old scent
2. D.R. Harris Almond shaving cream, old formulation
Of the current creams on the market, maybe I'd have to say The Body Shop, Maca Root shave cream.
