    I can attest to the beauty of this one! I found it waiting in line to check out at a Saks outlet. Really lovely fragrance, but I haven’t seen it since. Thanks for the reminder and the shopping link!

      So glad to hear it, thanks AnnJune! There are a couple other scents in this series that look great too, including Cardamom Absinthe & Sandalwood, and just realized this morning that a number of these are on Amazon Prime.

        Most welcome! I’ll try Amazon first… the other fragrance sounds worth trying also. Thanks again!

    That’s a good lemming. The black Tauer soaps aren’t really working for me so I will make an effort to find this (or these).

      Oh, why aren’t they working for you?

        Subjectively, I get mostly “cedar sawdust” from the fragrance. (Iso E Super? I’d prefer not to send that down the drain). Objectively, black soap does a number on white bath linens, and the glycerine-based bars aren’t very long lasting. The soap itself and the packaging are really handsome.

          I have the tuberose glycerin soap and it is very strong smelling and it lingers on the body. I like it a lot but it takes some effort to get a lather.
          Due to its strong smell my husband has it hidden away (I’m telling you it is tough in my pad with ‘the nose’) and so I always forget to use it.

    Oh I just ordered 2 of these on Amazon. This Tobacco Flower one and also the Cardamom. I’m a sucker for nice smelling soaps, it’s my daily shower indulgence.
    We have what I jokingly refer to as “girl” soap and “boy” soap. I always have a nice soap in the shower, my husband has Irish Spring! Yuck.

      Do report back if you think of it, Kelly Red! (And yeah, I have my extensive collection of Lush & Nesti Dante, and my husband uses Dove for Sensitive Skin.)

      LUSH Rose Jam for me, Neutrogena Rain Bath for the boyfriend :) I am delighted that this is a common occurrence.

      Ha! Yes – we have girl soap and boy soap also. Sadly the boy soap consists of some overpowering shower gels that linger for hours and permeate the whole downstairs of my small house (the newer Old Spice fragrances, and even the men’s Dove shower gel). I loved having my 2 young men home for the holidays, but don’t miss their shower gels ; )

    Just ordered the Rhubarb & Mint soap, hoping it’ll make me think spring-y thoughts.
