Just arrived today, and Obie, I can completely see why this is Tier 1 - the fragrance is intoxicating, thick, rich, earthy wood scent, the hint of citrus is definitely there, which is very nice as it gives the soap a very high note, and right plum in the middle is the Lavender, which brings it all together.
Coupled with literally smaller than a dime sized dollop of the stuff, it literally exploded with lather with no effort, and provided a thick lather with great glide, great on the skin afterwards. Even with my usual application of Esbjerg Aftershave Oil, which has a slight lemon note to it, the fragrance from this soap is still present.
For the next use, I'll have to use even a smaller amount, as my scuttle and brush could have easily lathered another 6 or so passes.
This one is a clear Tier 1 if ever there was one, absolutely superb.
