A true honour. Which do you like best? Morocco is my favourite of the new 3.

I'm hoping soon man! Many of the USA orders still haven't arrived yet.


Hey Ryan. They arrived a couple days ago. So far I’ve used cognac and today Cairo.

Holy smokes man. Cognac was good and interesting but Cairo....man o man what a fantastic summer scent. Bright citrus with a hint of jasmine...just perfect. So much better lathered than it is off the puck.

Morocco tomorrow

I appreciate you man! Thanks for the comments.

Today's shave with the (sadly discontinued) "Himalaya". I've used 18 different T+S soaps so far, and this one is still my favorite! Also my second favorite label of all the T+S soaps, behind "Maya" and ahead of "Boreal" (all in their 2017 versions, before the font change). Just great work all around!

Happy

Awesome! We will bring it back at some point. Maybe with a little revision. Let me think about adding it to the core line actually.

After a little more time Morocco is the favorite as well as I am a rose fan to begin with. This one is brilliant with the citrus and a bit of green supporting the rose. Great blend. Cairo tonight!

Right on! A big rose fan over here as well. Bulgaria and Turkey are two other big rose producers, and I’ve been playing around with some samples of those ones a little bit. I’m going to try to do more with rose in the future.

Enjoy Cairo!

Morocco is just stunning. Best artisan rose scent I’ve smelled and nothing is even close. Just a stunner.

I loved the old Morocco, but can see it being even better with a more prominent rose. Going to have to give it a try on my next order.

I'm trying to finish some tubs to make room, hence being slow on the uptake this time. I've been trying to minimize my shave den, but T+S will alway be the main soap on hand.

Does the new Morocco still have a smoke-vibe along with the rose? Or has the scent moved too far towards the rose?

No smoke. All rose with some slight citrus/green support.

As Kehole said nothing comes close. Best rose offered today. Stunner.

Hold on. “Too far towards the rose” – what does that even mean? Rose is like cowbell – there can never be too much. Smile

(P.S. I have and love the original Morocco, but am eager to experience the newest version at some point.)

I'm actually a big fan of the rose scents and will very likely give the new Morocco a try in the near future.  But I'm a bigger fan of smoke scents Smile.  The "old" Morocco scent was one of my all-time favorites...so much so that I couldn't bring myself to finish the tub.  I kept a little of the soap in a ziplock bag to so i can revisit it from time to time.
