I enjoy Noble Otter, and feel that it's of the same quality as many other very good but not great artisan soaps. This current formulation performs much better than his previous formulation. I agree that Barrbarr is a terrific barbershop scent, and it's more reminiscent of the barbershop I grew up in in the 1950's than most other barbershop scented soaps. I also like The Noir et Vanille scent, but was disappointed with The Trail.
