    Would anyone care to provide a list of ingredients, if you have it in hand? A lot of places don't seem to provide a whole lot of information, or they have conflicting info.
    I'd like to try this soap as it seems scent wise it would be something I would like. I have to watch what I bring home my daughter is allergic to nuts, and one place listed macadami nuts as an ingredient in Cade. L'Occitane site didn't list anything.

    eDIT: found the ingredients fella's.....

    I love the Cade soap. That juniper scent is one of my favorites and I love how the smell sticks around for a while.

    Just bought the soap, and balm. Glad I made the purchase after reading all the comments. I'm not a huge balm fan but this stuff is pretty good. Wish they made an AS splash in Cade, apparently they use to.

    I have never smelled the juniper scent but if the C&E scents of the hard-milled soaps never make it through.. I've got my stock-piles. I can't get a meaningful scented-soap from l'occintane 'tc and so I've got a few years worth with the C&E hard-milled sienna, nomad and sandalwood soaps.. I will just believe in the regular-milled (relatively) unscented l'occintade bars of truly awesome shaving action.. rather than the stupid crap pervaded by the C&E vintage crowd...

    I've been using the cream for almost a year in my rotation and I love it. Maybe it's the density of my water or my lather building technique (not that it's spectacular), but I think it is one of my best creams. The scent is by far the nicest and the one the ladies like the most.

    I have mixed feelings with the soap
    I love the scent, every time I go to the bathroom I open the bowl and take a deep sniff... but the lather is no amazing stuff unless I do something else than swirl my brush.

    Hard water is what I have at home and I've had no problem lathering less expensive soaps (VDH, Tabac, Omega, Arko) but this soap gave me disappointment after disappointment till I used what I call an "add in"

    I use an almond size amount of Noxzema cream in my lathering bowl and then add the foam I get from my L'occitane soap. Only then I get a thick rich lather. I find this disappointing because:
    - cheaper soaps do great without the cream
    - the scent is lost among the strong camphor scent.

    I still like the soap and I think I'll buy it again, but I wish it could outperform the other soaps without the noxzema cream (or at least that I could find locally an odorless replacement for that cream, I have tried with Care). I used a little bit of Cade AS to enrich the lather and it did work but I am not eager to spend the AS that's about 35$ the tube when I can use the Nox that is about 10$ the kilo haha.

    Anyways, I do agree the scent is awesomesauce, but I don't think I would recommend it to someone with hard water
