Your fave Mama Bear's soap scent?

[moonshine44]

I've got some Susie's Bubbles N Squeak soaps, but I've read so much about Mama Bear's that I'm thinking I might have to order some. Before I do, I'd be interested in knowing what your favorite scent is, if you don't mind my asking?

Thanks...

My fav is her Bay Rum, but I like a lot of 'em.

I predict this thread will be filled with the following-

Rosemary Mint
Awakenings
Hydrogen
Dragon's Blood
Lime EO
Aged Spice
Spiced Lime
..and many more, all for good reason.

I've had a lot of success with Susie's Soaps. I think they make great lather and have an excellent scent.

I've only tried 3 different kinds of Mamma Bear soaps, and all three have given me a great shave - easy to generate lather, high quality lather, etc. But unfortunately for me, the scent in all three has been really disappointing. My most recent two were Vanilla Cream and Aromatic Pipe Tobacco. Not good. I notice no one has yet to recommend either of these scents to you.

I'm glad you asked this question though because I think I'd really enjoy Mamma Bear's soaps if I could find a scent I really enjoyed - hopefully this thread will give me some other ideas as well.

Hydrogen! Toasted Coconut is also nice.

I got 8 of them out of the 8 either spicy lime or lime EO would be my 2 favorite scents

 

[pj_rage]

Out of the 17 or 18 I have, it's hard to pick a "favorite", but if I could only keep 2, I think they would be:

Spicey Lime
Pepperberry

There are so many others that I really like, but I do enjoy these two the most I think. The spicy lime is probably my favorite scent, but the pepperberry, for some reason, ALWAYS gives me a fantastic shave, and I love it's spicy scent as well.

Runners up would be:

Ye Olde Barbershoppe
Rosemary Lime
Sandalwood Vanilla
Attar of roses
Spellbound Woods

Still, though, this is a tough question because scent is very subjective. All of her soaps lather very well and are just plain great soaps. Just choose a soap or two that you like the description of on her site.. you really can't go wrong.

Anybody tried the Bonsai? Just on the description, I'm interested, but want to know if anyone's tried it. I like slightly vegetal, woodsy scents, but with a little complexity.

Dublin Tweed!

It looks like the Rosemary Mint, Hydrogen, and Awakenings are among the most faves. On the other hand, this sort of thing, as pj rage posted, is subjective, and I guess that's right: pick one that sounds good from the description, and go for it...

Thanks for all of your input, gents!

-Spicey Lime
-Aged Spice

As these are the only two soaps I have from her they are my favorite. They lather great and smell great. As was pointed out in another thread, the cost per/oz. of product makes them a pretty good bargain. YMMV.

Next on my list are: Ye Olde Barbershop, Bay Rum, and the Cedar-Pine-Walk in the Forest type scents.
