This stuff. Additionally, it’s on sale for $10. Not an overpowering scent but, you get the neroli & black pepper in nice soft whiffs. Performance ain’t to shabby either as it’s made by WSP...

The Holy Black Secret Stash “Neroli Plus”
I read this post this morning, so I grabbed some Neroli Plus, and the matching splash, and gave it a whirl. I really like it. It it a great performer. And I personally love the scent. However, the Neroli is not as pronounced as the OP would like in my opinion. It’s a very soapy scent. With a nice layer of Neroli worked into the mix. The splash makes up for that a bit. But I think the OP wants a very forward dark Neroli note present in the soap. Either way, thanks for inspiring my excellent shave this morning!

You will get your neroli hit when your Nanny's Silly Soap arrives.
Please make sure you come back to this thread to give us your opinion of it. I think it is a highly underrated soap.
Sweet! I'm glad it showed up. I am SURE that you will love the performance. It's really a great shave soap. I'm happy it worked out for you.A parcel from the UK landed on my desk today, apparently Nanny's isn't answering email, but *is* shipping orders...
kingfisher, you are so correct! this is *very* close to the Petal Pusher and has a deeper, rougher scent than other Nerolis without slipping into petitgrain (which I also love, but is quite a different scent profile).
If the performance is anything better than mediocre, I'll be very pleased and when COVID releases its grip on the UK I'll definitely order more!
For reference, I love the scent of the Phoenix Shaving Planet 9 and Petal Pusher Neroli, but Petal Pusher seems to have gone out of business (and had so-so performance) and the Phoenix soap base gives me red spots all over my cheeks, not terribly uncomfortable, but that's got to be a sign of some sort of alergic reaction (which is a real shame, since Vetiver Planet is another favorite scent)... I also enjoy Fine Acoutrements L'orange Noir, but it's a bit too muted to really satisfy.
So to sum up: I like a bitter, sharp, earthy scent, not sweet orange, or red hots (I have no idea how TFS came up with that scent!?!), orange blossom is OK too, though I enjoy the intensity of full-on neroli more.
Thanks for any leads you may be able to offer!
Which base? Original or CK-6?
