Didn't find any comments regarding this particular soap, so wanted to add in on this one. Got this one and a Cheshire a few weeks back from the last discount he had. At first the scent was a bit confusing, honestly I had to say it was a bit off putting when you smelled it out of the tin. As most of you know this is a soft soap as trying to get the soap out of the tin, even turning it upside down you can leave your finger impressions on it, which is sorta interesting as most of the soaps I've had are already packaged in tubs/containers.
Given that there were several positive write ups here and around the net on the brand citing quality I gave it a go, first time I wasn't too crazy over it as I couldn't get it to lather up and the smell was too strong in the wrong areas I wasn't crazy about, but I kept going at it for another 2 weeks, on and off, and I have to say, it really does match up nicely with the fall weather here in the east coast. I couldn't quite place it but the strong initial smell actually fades away and the profile changes to a more balanced smell of how is describe as "apples, newly fallen leaves, woodsmoke, and the faintest touch of cinnamon" It has a fresh fall foliage smell or of cider making at a farmers market or apple picking just that mix of pleasant smells that illicit that reminder when you go outside after the shave. It also leaves my skin nicely moisturized post shave that I can still put on the aftershave and it doesn't feel as dried out as other combinations I've used. Functionally it provides a nice cushion and easy glide to the shaving process, its as thick as the other products I have in my new arsenal so I'm happy to use it during this season!
Worth a high consideration for a tallow soap, it had its initial hiccups but once used the smell mellows out to become more balanced to be my first season appropriate soap.
Can't wait to break into the Cheshire as the bergamot/lavender combination truly smells of earl grey in solid soap form!

) into the water and let them steep...strained them while pouring the tea into cups. Again, I doubt the Queen's Mother ever made tea that way (maybe she did?) 
Tasted great to me
