One of my wife's FAVORITE places is Cades Cove in the Smokey Mountains. We've been thru it more times than I can count in a car, on a motorcycle and even hay rides. I have pedal biked it at midnight with friends when there was a full moon and had Black Bear and coyote run across the path as we were riding. Just a beautiful area and the most visited place in the Smokey's. So when I saw this set getting rleased I knew I had to get it even though I have been halting soap purchases of late and pairing down the inventory. The scent is described well as:

"So, this Cade’s Cove aroma embraces the ambience of the Great Smoky Mountains. This valley in Tennessee is represented by green grassy notes and honeysuckle on a woody, musky base."

This is a BEAUTIFUL scent and always a top level performing soap and splash. Just a great shave. The Bread Lame slice was reopened during the shave but settled down quicker than yesterday and will heal fine........eventually. Have an adventurous day Folks !

I would LOVE to be there right now, of course avoid Loop Road at all costs in summer.  A visit to Aunt Debbie’s is in my cards very soon! 

The loop is torturous on an arthritic clutch hand in the summer with City folk stopping for every squirrel and deer they see but the wife always loved it Good to see ya back
