From reading through the forum I guess there was a group buy for the SRD Rose Otto soap a while back. Is this still available to purchase? I would love to try some of this.
Cheers,

I really love the stuff and rue the day my tub is finished.
I have been asking a local soap maker about making shaving soap. She said that she had tried it, but that it was a failure. I guess I can understand that in this particular area...
Anyway, she had never heard of Bulgarian rose otto, so I took my tub to let her smell it. Surprisingly, she said that it made her want to hurl, and another customer jumped away as if she had shoved a dead rat under her nose!
Well, to each his own, I suppose...
It's really good stuff.
It's a very deep, broad-shouldered rose scent, with a sort of dual personality. A rose flowery part for the top notes, but that is kicked into the ditch by an earthy, planty note, that reminds me a bit of Brussels sprouts or asparagus. It lathers up into a different balance, and the left over scent on the skin is different still, as you would expect.
It's a bold statement. I would liken it to Judy Davis in the movie Impromptu. She's a strange bird, but oddly attractive at the same time, and it's hard to figure out what it is that works. Well, that's my opinion, anyway!:hmmm:
If you hate it, you can always sell it in the BST, I'm sure.
