Not my favorite performer but the scent is heavenly.  Provence Sante is a hard triple milled soap and one needs to load long to pick up enough soap for slickness and stability.  Protection is pretty good as is slickness but the scent?  I really like it.  It's about medium strength but it somehow penetrates to make it noticable like a stronger scented soap.  I think they label this one as green tea scented but whatever it is is great.  [Image: ZjcpwNR.jpg]

My goodness! I was just thinking the exact same thing about my shave with Ogalala Bay Vanilla ("Not my favorite performer but the scent is heavenly."). Lol. Is today the official scent over performance day? Where did the year go?

Strong 'n Scottish v. (Meißner Tremonia) smoke, peat, whisky

A cool front passing over the island enticed me to dip a brush into my tiny tin of Strong ’n Scottish. The smoky scent is too much in hot weather, but when temps dip into the 70s I can lather up this soap and almost convince myself I’m shaving on the Isle of Skye. SnS smells like a peat fire burning on the hearth of blackhouse, those ancient Highland stone dwellings roofed with thatch, paved with flagstones, and coated overall with soot. Like the name says, the fragrance is powerful and it will linger. The soap also has an unusual oily texture that makes a thick salmon-colored lather deep on cushion and comfort. Lanolin gives it a smooth, long-lasting finish. The scent may not be for everyone, but if you're not averse to the aroma of a conglomeration of kippered herrings, oilskins, and antiseptics dripping with carbolic acid, SnS can be a very pleasant entry into a grey morning.
