Mama Bear's recommendations?

[A3M0N]

A family member requested Christmas ideas for me, so I figured a new soap would be a good idea. I'm not fan of really heavy scents, so the Hydrogen and Ocean Rain sound like they would be light and airy. Anyone have some experience with these?

Also, how is the Toasted Coconut and Tahitian Flowers?

Thanks!

Hydrogen is very nice and light, but stay VERY far away from Dragon's Blood if you don't like heavy scents.
I also found both Hinoki and Northwoods to be very nice.

I like the scent of Toasted Coconut best of the three ive tried. I also use Christmas Forest (think little pine tree car freshener) and have tried Aged Spice which I didnt care for. They all lather well.

Hydrogen was the first soap I received from Mama Bear and the day I got it in the mail I made a rather large order from her directly. You'll love it

Sue does have samples for sale, my favorite is Dragon's Blood. I bought Hydrogen also, and several others. Lathers like a champ, there are so many flavors do yourself a favor & get some samples - I've tried a bunch, you need to see if you like the scent, and test for the rare one that doesn't play well with your skin .. think there was one of maybe 20 that I had a reaction to

Thanks gents, I'll probably request Hydrogen then order some samples later on.

Mama Bear's Amber Romance is my very favorite Soap scent. She makes a MEAN Drakkar Type too if you like that one...I also have Andy's Mint that I want to eat it! I LOVE York Peppermint Patties and Andes chocolate mint candies and she got them both in here!

Another one I like is Fresh Orange, and a sweeter one is Winter Grapefruit. Also good are Polynesian Red, and Hydrogen which to me are lighter scents. I also got Lilac Ice, which was light and full of Menthol! Lime Ice was very Limey with a double shot of Menthol. I love her soaps! She even made one specially for me called Violet Sandalwood that was pure enjoyement. It was Parma Violet with Mysore Sandalwood. The only one I haven't enjoyed was Vetiver...to earthy for me.

Sandalwood Vanilla is an awesome scent. I've owned the Toasted Coconut in the past and it smelled awesome as well. A girl i was dating at the time smeleed all the creams and soaps I had, and was unimpressed until she came across the Sandalwood Vanilla, and said, "that one!"

I have an used Toasted Coconut for a long time now, one of my fave scents to me it smell like beach bunny lol! Perfect for those really cold day's, also really nice for any day even summer as it reminds me of the beach in Daytona Beach Florida. Sorry I have no exp in any others, I look forward to trying more though! )

Northwoods

Ocean Rain smelled weird to me last time I tried it, like it was too floral or something. I'm working on Andy's Mint right now and either Berkeley Hills or Northwoods will probably be my next tub.

I like the Aged Spice. I also like the "Ice" (mentholated) soaps. None of the Mama Bears scents seem to be overbearing to olfactory senses, nor do they linger forever. I like them because they are pleasant scents that do not overwhelm, but they are pleasant.

Hydrogen and Ye Olde Barbershop. Good Morning Honey! is an awesome scent as well.

I have Andy's mint which I've used 3 times. I have samples of dragon's blood, ocean rain and almond.

I haven't used the almond but the other 2 are nice though only thing is ocean rain tingled a bit on my face.

I love the Andy's mint though I catch myself just randomly smelling it sometimes lol1!1

 

[artificialturf12]

I also love Andy's mint. it is very good idea

The "ice" mentholated soaps certainly have my endorsement.

My favorite of her soaps, though, is the Barber Shop. However, I would call this one "heavily scented."

The chai tea is also very nice and more lightly scented.

My favorite is the Sandalwood Vanilla. I would order the Hydrogen (I also like this one) and get a bunch of samples to play with. You will get an idea of the scents, but it is not that easy to shave with the samples unless you are rubbing them on your face like a stick. She has many, many scents that I love.
