Best Smelling U.K. Soap

Cheers @JohnnyO , think this will be my first vetiver soap.The dirty vetiver that it is !!!.

it's very earthy - which i love. I'm not sure of it's availability as Sharon makes her soaps in small batches but email her and i'm sure she will inform you when she cooks up another batch. she does another vetiver and cedarwood which sounds great too.


Nanny's Vetiver is a fantastic scent, it reminds me of Jabonman "Wet Earth". Very dirty and earthly, with a little smoke.
I've only ever used Nanny's Original soap. I'm not sure if the scents are as pungent in the hard soaps or the tallow soaps.

I use the hard soap and the scent is strong and long lasting.
 
Harris soaps are pretty good. Have used Arlington & Windsor, scents are certainly subtler than TOBS, which I find a little too synthetic. They are the tallow based soaps, a little drying not quite as slick or protective as the best of the British artisans, but very good nonetheless. It's just that UK artisans have set the bar so very high.

NSS "Down Home Summer" Signature soap is a great summery scent with vetiver and lavender. One of my faves.
 
I recently received a new bunch of samples of OSP & P&B soaps. The Sanskrit reminds me, oddly I might add, of two old discontinued chewing gums, Black Jack and Clove. Funny thing the memories some scents recall. o_O Regardless, I like the scent...........a lot. :) I also really like their Citra Royale as despite what another reviewer said about it smelling like Lestoil ( an old pine oil base cleaner) it appears to have a link to Spitfire somehow (juniper?) and it is indeed narcotizingly pleasant. Also, the OSP Spice Road is very different in a startling manner and I mean that as a compliment. It reminds me somewhat of the long discontinued Furyo fragrance by Jacques Bogart of which I have a bottle of their AS:

Between these two top shelf artisans it is impossible to pick a No. 1 as both have superb & tastefully designed soap fragrances that at least for me wail a different siren's call on any given day. After all, who wants to use Arko or Palmolive every day? ;)
