This was my thought, as well. Fortunately, I was able to bag one of the tubs of Ruby Red from him during his going out of business sale.

Wonderful ideas thus far!

Another option is Luna from Gingers Garden, the matching AS has a great kiss of menthol.

I am very keen to hear reviews when they arrive I hope you enjoy them.

Yes, please let us know. I really dont need more soap, but it would be good to get a grapefruit scent and I'm looking at this one.

MLS Paradise Frost. Straight up grapefruit. Not a super sweet scent - more like grapefruit rind. It's the only citrus scent I really love

Agree, this is the one I was going to add to the list.

I just got Reef Point Admiralty. I thought it was more of an orange scent. In any case, very pleasant for citrus lovers, and a different take on it. Highly recommended.

Mystic Water Grapefruit, really, is a superb scent; bright, pungent with a subtle floral scent. If I likde grapefruit, I would order this, right away. Big Grin

It is not currently offered, though in a conversation with MLS at the Maggards meet, they indicated it might return as a seasonal next year. No guarantees though.

I have a tub. It's a good scent. Wish the menthol was stronger though. Either I'm hardened to the effects, or it simply has an extremely light menthol touch.

If you can find one in the B/S/T reasonably priced, I would get it.
