What's your favourite Nanny' soap scent

I have rediscovered Nanny's Soaps recently. I had forgotten just how good they are!. My problem is that I am a sucker for packaging.Moroccan Sands, Neroli, Arabian Nights and (discontinued??) Dragons Blood are my favourites. Most of mine are the original formula with some hard soaps but I have a few traditional (tallow)offerings which are excellent .
 
Never tried these soaps, but they get better reviews than the more frequently talked about P&B and OSP. I'd like to support UK artisans, and so far Wickhams is ahead of the field for me. Looks like the first I should try is a toss-up between Arabian Sands and Ice and a Slice, with Neroli, Warm Spice and Yushu in there too. Where does NSS rank for you in the UK artisans?
Not tried P&B yet (or many other UK artisans for that matter) but NSS are better than OSP for me. Nothing wrong with OSP and the scents I've tried are nicer but for the shave (surely the most important thing) NSS wins.
 
Not tried P&B yet

I got some P&B Spitfire the other week, and haven't used another soap since. I love the scent, and the lather is amazing.

It needs blooming, but that's not a big deal, especially if you have a shower before you shave, and you can use the blooming water as a pre-shave which works really well.

Must get some NSS though, I only hear good things about it.
 
Has anyone compared the performance of NSS tallow base traditionals vs the other ranges?
If so, I'd be very interested to hear your thoughts, especially with regards to post-shave feel.


I'd love to hear folks answer to this. I like NSS Original, but not enough to keep it in my 4 soap rotation. However the traditional (tallow) might be worth a try.

My vote for favourite NSS scent is the pure Vetyver. It's s dark, damp, earthy scent; much like Eufros Tierra Humeda soap.
