This scent combo is a bit of a miss. The strong pear in Koké overwhelmed the more delicate Mindigo rather than integrating itself with the boozy blueberry. LIve and learn.

This scent combo blends the woody-gourmand vibe of Christmas Eve with the warm woodiness of Marlborough and the sweet coconana notes of Don José. It’s a unique, festive, and cozy winter holiday mix that surprisingly works perfectly!

Koké is one of my luckier blind buys. Heavy floral, a bit sweet, some pear and musk, really lovely stuff. Works well with Cerberus, too.

I've determined that Don Josè is the perfect scent for a lazy beach hotel vacation, so I keep running with it. I paired it with a banana-coconut smoothie at the breakfast buffet, except I had to substitute the coconut for lack of coconuts. Life is full of tough choices.

Ok, this is a great combo. Both Verbena Toscana and Farina are very citrus forward, VT with added light vervain, and Farina with some spicy scent I can't put my finger on. This could easily be an excellent #AustereAugust setup

AYLM's Verbena Toscana is probably the strongest scented soap I have, and that's a good thing because it smells great.

The Theme Thursday theme to today is nut scents, so this was the perfect day to break out the Noce di Cocco smush. I should have so sooner, because it has lost almost all scent, oops 🤦

I love the fresh scent of this soap, but I'm still looking for a good post shave pairing. Two Kings is a bit too sharp 🌹 , and the search continues.
As always, the Frio 14 can do no wrong.

My Piggy razor came back from being on loan with a friend, and it brought this AYLM hard soap with it. Verbena Toscana smells so good!
