Vetyver is quite nice, very earthy, deep scented soap.

The Rose, nicest Rose scent I've tried, of the two, the Rose is my favourite, this Agrumeson (Citrus), with the bergamot, wow, couldn't resist...lol, and yes, soaps to pass down to my Great Grandson's....

Agree with Phrank's takes on their Vetyver and Rose. Their Rose is the antithesis of T&H's Rose--I couldn't stand the T&H and binned it after a couple of goes (glutton for punishment or eternal optimist...thought it would get better...not). MdC's Rose is lovely! When I saw their Citrus ("Agrumeson"), couldn't resist the SAD--sound like it'll be a nice scent for this summer.

I don't use MdC for their scents. I don't consider their soap makers to be experts in the scent department. There are far better lavender, fougère, vetiver, and rose scents, in my opinion. But I'll take outstanding performance and a tier 2 scent any day, just as I do with Castle Forbes creams. Unfortunately, some of my favorite scented soaps are only tier two performance wise, but I still enjoy using them. If I consider a soap tier 2 in both departments, it goes out with the cat litter.

I have avoided Rose scented products but maybe I will try this one day.

A 5 pack of various MdC soaps heading to Ontario for distribution across this continent to a few friends.
Fougere, Agrumeson, and original scented en route! On the email notification list for rose.
