Help me choose some Mama Bears Soaps

[Lavaine]

I've decided it's time to order some MB soaps. Hoping you fellas can help me select a few scents. I want to get a Lime, a Rose (for SWMBO and myself to share) and something else. I love Sandalwood, but since I have a few of them, I was looking for something similar, yet different. Has anyone used the Vetiver?

Which Lime and Rose scents would you recommend?

Also, any other 'must try' scents that I should get samples of?

I love Mama's Roses! Also - Chypre Rose.

Lilac Ice. (Especially if followed by Master Lilac Vegetol.)

Awakenings.

Lime Ice.

Oh, hell... they're ALL good! (Those are my favorites, though.)

Aged Spice is a must have You'll want the Rosemary Mint too.

I have the Vetiver and it's nice, but not as assertive as I was expecting.But if you like that sort of scent, the Veldfire is a possibility. I loved the sample I got of that.

Elements of Bamboo was a big surprise. I really enjoyed that one. It's what I expected Good Morning Honey to be, but sadly wasn't (for me). Green Irish Tweed is exceptional, if you want a cologne type.

I think you may need to invest some $ in samples and just go wild. There are soooooo many good choices. The Soap Slivers are a good way to see what you like.

Ginger Lime
Clary Sage and Rosemary
Neroli
Aromatic Pipe Tobacco (this one seems to be love/hate...I like it.)

I'm beginning to think Mama Bear needs an "Every Smell I Sell" sampler pack for a reasonable price. Somehow, I think it would pay off. At least make ordering the samples easier with a checkbox list or something. The current workflow is terrible on that page!

If you want a lime soap, you might want to go with the Lime EO soap or the Lime Ice soap (depending on whether you also want menthol).

I got the Spicey Lime. It's a cologne-based scent (smells kind of like Royall Lime). It smells pretty good and it shaves great, but it's not as "lime-y" as I wanted it to be. If you like the idea of a lime-cologne type smell (that's more complex than just lime) you might really enjoy the "Spicey Lime."

 

[Ray Zorblade]

Spicy Lime is my favorite of the 10 or so I've tried

 

[bandit82ta]

Aged Spice
Sandalwood Rose
Spellbound woods
Ye Olde Barbershop

 

[Lavaine]

Well, I've decided on Roses and Rosemary Mint (instead of Vetiver, based on the numerous recommendations), but I don't know which Lime to get. It will either br Spicey Lime, EO Lime, or Ginger Lime. Also, samples of Dragon's Blood and Aged Spice. I am also ordering 2 shampoos for my wife: Rosemary Mint and the Lavender.

It is a shame that shipping to Canada is as expensive as it is, but I'm getting used to it. Since the Canadian dollar is high, I think I'll order some other stuff I don't need from Shaving Essentials as well.

 

[kingfisher]

Why don't you order the soap slivers of Spicey Lime, Lime EO, and Ginger Lime? That way you can compare them side by side and figure out which one you like best.

 

[inkwell]

out of the ones ive ordered so far, i like fleur de soul and tuscan memories the best....highly recommend....

 

[Ookla The Mok]

Rosemary Mint is a MUST have. While you are there you ought to buy the shampoo also.

Chypre Rose is another fave. It's not a rose scent in the traditional sense, but a really classic manly scent.

1. Awakenings
2. Aged Spice
3. Barbershop

All I have to say is... whoever invents the ability to smell things through the internet is going to be a bazillionaire!

I'm looking forward to trying...well ALL of these!
