Sounds intriguing...the fact that they cut the tub size from 4oz to 3oz and ALSO raised the price to $30 USD (compared to $24 USD for their other scents) is giving me pause though.
The fragrance oils to make it were astronomically expensive is why.
... Every oil in the scent was over $1,000 / L (32 oz), and two of them were $4,000 / L."
Well said! Thank you for taking the time to post that.I can respect their effort to use super high priced essential oils, resins and wood oils. It boggles my mind when I see an OUD or Sandalwood shave soap for $15 as there is no possible way it has real Oud or sandalwood in it as both ingredients are more expensive than gold and even if you made 1000 tubs of soap it still would drive the price way up above the $15 price. So just a fragrance oil duplicate. If you look at the ingredients in this T&S soap and compare it to let's say MDC, SV or PannaCrema. There are a lot more expensive ingredients in this T&S soap than those well known high end brands and yet folks will spend $35 to $70 for the 3 I've mentioned and have an issue with a US or in this case a Canadian soap maker using super expensive ingredients and asking the correct price per oz for their product. Maybe it's just me but somehow this doesn't equate to me.
I support what they are doing and I wish them well and keep doing what you're doing!

Ditto.What I liked was the completely correct mention that we all, already, have way too much soap on hand ... And the cost of ingredients.
I'd buy it! If.

I totally agree and wish I had been quicker on the trigger. I really like this business model of using the very best essential oils, resins and wood oils at a higher price. I have plenty 'o soaps and have pretty much stopped buying; however, in this instance I would have made an exception. Notwithstanding one or two of the negative comments above, I strongly suspect that this particular product would have been worth the price difference--worth it to me anyway and that is all that matters.
