As I've mentioned before... I'm not a scent person...so if a great soap maker adds an unscented soap to their line up.. I'm tempted. Ethos just came out with one but it's out of stock. So far, I only have Canada Shaving soap and Phoenix Scentsless CK-6, but the rest of my soaps and/or creams are lightly scented.Here’s one I’ve been thinking about recently. I think poorly of soap makers who include copies of well-known fragrances in their range (so-called dupes).
I get that many people might like to have their favourite commercial fragrance in one of their favourite soap bases, and there is a market for it. But I just can’t get past thinking that if somebody wants to be in the business of making scented soaps, and especially if they want it to be a premium product, then they should be confident enough to make their own scents and put out nothing but their own work. I don’t understand why they would be satisfied doing dupes when they could express themselves and make something of their own - maybe something really good. I don’t understand why they are in this business at all.
So I don’t buy those brands, even if some of them have highly rated soap bases. I won’t mention names.
