What are the 3 STRONGEST scents from Mike's Natural Soaps?
- Thread starter LMAN007
- Start date
Have only gotten about four samples of Mike's; lavender, barbershop, lily of the valley and unscented. Now using unscented, which does not count! Of the rest, I seem to remember the lavender being the strongest. A very nice, herbal lavender.
In order of scent potency with the soaps I own:
1. Hungarian Lavender (Stongest)
2. Peppermint Rosemary
3. Pine & Cedarwood
4. Barber Shop
5. Lily of the Valley
6. Lime (weakest)
Lavender, Peppermint Rosemary and Barber Shop are my favorites.
I if I remember correctly, the Orange black pepper, and rose samples also were a bit stronger. Keep in mind these are a handmade item so you likely may find some variation from batch to batch.
However, none of the Mike's I've tried are as potent as say, Tabac or Arko, eg.
1. Hungarian Lavender (Stongest)
2. Peppermint Rosemary
3. Pine & Cedarwood
4. Barber Shop
5. Lily of the Valley
6. Lime (weakest)

* Lemongrass & Eucalyputs
* Peppermint & Rosemary
* Pine & Cedarwood
My favourite is the first one, but the Hungarian Lavender is very, very nice, also!
Fantastic soaps!

Fantastic soaps!
I know it's early in the game, but I'm surprised the Bay Rum hasn't been mentioned. Aromatic, and I believe, strong scent that keeps this soap high in my rotation.
I liked Mike's Bay Rum, but I didn't find the scent that strong compared to the Ogallala Bay Rum soap that I sometimes use. Still it's a nice BR scent without the clove component of Ogallala and a good performer.
I purchased a tin of Mike's Natural Soaps Pine & Cedarwood several months ago.
My contact with them was less than helpful or enlightening.
I could not get it open despite all my efforts.
Today, with a sturdy Boy Scout knife and and a screwdriver I managed to pry it open.
The scent was something to be remembered. It was overwhelming!
I quickly put it in a plastic bag and rushed it outside.
I was just in time for the sanitary department to automatically toss it into its mercifully the sealed confines.

Sounds like you had quite the traumatic experience.
Lol you guys are a funny bunch. Of the Mike's scents i have tried Pine & Cedarwood is the strongest by far. Traded a tin a while back and regretted it so much i picked up one of the new tubs. Love that fresh pine scent, and Mike's is made locally which is a plus.
You asked for opinions of the three strongest of Micke's soaps.
I can not answer because I have only tried Pine and Cedarwood.
That was very strong and impressive.
I was so impressed that I am afraid to try any more.
I am not saying it is not an excellent product.
That I am repelled by it is my own personal problem and, possibly, loss.
However, the rude way my concern about just opening a stubborn tin was quite unexpected and dismaying. I have found that all the vendors I have encountered in this forum have, without exception (bar one) - been friendly and very concerned about us customers and our opinions.
Those constructive opinions are given to help the purchaser and the vendor, because we know they care.

I think I've tried most of Mike's soaps. Vetiver is the strongest to my nose. The others seem pretty much equal in strength.
Hungarian Lavender is my favorite and quite strong
Barbershop is also strong, but very sweet smelling
Vetiver is disgusting and I'm a Vetiver fan

I’ve only tried the coconut and Hungarian lavender and the lavender definitely has a stronger scent
I've only used Honeysuckle so far, and I don't find it overwhelming - though stronger and more lasting than any other soap I've used (I haven't used a lot) other than Tabac, which for some reason makes me sneeze all day.
I'm really pleased with Mike's Honeysuckle, and I had a nice email exchange with him when I was buying my samples.

Love, Love Mikes! My #2 soap! His new Rose and Patchouli is fantastic and stronger smelling. Orange and Black Pepper and Lemongrass and Eucalyptus are strong as well.
