Last weekend I acquired this soap at one of the farmers markets. I tend to stay away from scents that could get too sweet, so I was a little worried about this one. It smelled so good at the stand, but I've had rose varieties that get much too sweet when lathered. I'm glad I took the gamble. The scent is violet and stays floral without that cloyingly sweet issue I try to avoid. I think you Lilly of the Valley lovers will need to try this. Performance is good as always.
