I've never got a really strongly identifiable scent from Cade soap, been using it for 3 years or so and I do enjoy it, but all I get is a pleasant soap smell and a very, very mild hint of something like palm oil, almost coconut. Now I hear it's supposed to be juniper I'll be looking out for that next time round! But yeah it's always been subtle, it's all about the skin feel and the performance with L'Occitane.
The current generation of bowl doesn't oxidise or mark in any way. The one from oh, about 5 years back used to oxidise and turn black but it's not been a problem in years now.
Thanks. Yes, I guess you're right on both accounts. The bowl I had for a little over a year and no marks developed in that period. I guess housing the soap I got last week should play nice with it too.
Today my shave had more scent to it surprisingly. Maybe it was the first shave the scent was trapped or muted I dunno.. But I did sense Juniper, I wouldn't have known but it reminded me of
Penhaligon's Juniper/Gin scent forgot what it's called
