I know that you are heading into winter down under but Stirling Soap offers many mentholated soaps that are perfect for those hot days in Oz. I am loving Orange Chill soap and splash. Stirlings Glacial line is on another level of cold entirely. I really like Stirling‘s line of sheep tallow soaps. They seem even slicker than regular line of soaps. !f you aren’t offended by the smell of citronella, I recommend Stirling Glacial Electric Sheep. Embrace the freeze!
Running out of soaps to try

Limiting myself to European soaps, given the OP’s preferences—I don’t see Eufros.
Personally, I try out a bunch of products to see which ones I like the best. I could be wrong, and it wouldn't be the first time, but you give the impression of turning the audition process into the end goal. You must have some favorites from that list.
Maybe it's time to start collecting razors, or colognes, or fountain pens . . . expensive shoes? Perhaps you've exhausted this pursuit in preparation for putting that energy to work in a different area.

Old Post Road soap is a great one to add to the stable of options. I used it this morning.
Walde Seifen is an excellent European maker.
If you try all the different flavors for each brand your not even close to the end.
There use to be a soap sample pass around that I was in multiple times and have tried over 600 different soap flavors

If we're limited to Europe, another vote for Wickhams. Esteem and Fredricsson's are worth a try, and if you're after traditional and cheap, Erasmic is still going strong. Arran might be worth a shot too - even if you only keep the resin "stone effect" bowl.
If we're looking further afield, another vote for Stirling - there's enough variety there to keep anyone going for a while.

Love my Eletric Sheep, an upscale Arko. I should get some Glacial too.
The post shave of the Sterling sheep tallow soaps are so good. Worth a try.
Another vote for Stirling, their Scots pine sheep is a future classic.
I can't believe there is no Stirling Soap in this list - a must try and broadly available in Europe.
Le Pere Lucien is worth a try, too.
Stirling soap made me get over the loss of my beloved Valobra stick.

I would love to participate in this thread.... but all the soaps I've purchased, with a couple exceptions, were recommended by Tomo and APBinNCA... so anything I would have to contribute would be moot. <Eg>
It would be in your better interests to give Stirling a try as you might just find the one and only like I did when it was recommended to me like 5 yrs ago!!
Another European soap you might consider is Officina Artigiana Milano. I love the stuff.
I can’t help but notice that Cella is not on your list.
an old classic that you must try… and then mix 50/50 with Mitchell’s wool fat in a twist up shave stick. Fabulous stick and you may end up buying a 1kg block of Cella and the requisite 120gm refills of MWF to make many years of shave soap nirvana.
