There does seem to have some similarity but there is more to it, something I can't put my finger on but like you my olfactory sense does let me down somewhat.Anyone find it a very similar scent to Spitfire or is it just me,admittedly my olfactory sense isn't the greatest.
Still to lather it up and it may be somewhat different,but that's my initial impression,anyone else or is it just my beak?
See what you get from it in a steamy bathroom when lathered up, and report back if you don't mind. I could smell more of something in those conditions but I'm not all that good in picking out individual scents but over all I found it to be very nice.....I would never make a good wine taster....Mmm very nice!!!I was expecting something a bit more well "earthy" i suppose,l'll use it next shave see what pops up,maybe because it was a seasonal soap i was expecting something different,but i genuinely cant tell the difference.
Maybe it's the way i read that there lol,probably from working in all male enviroment all my life i suppose.See what you get from it in a steamy bathroom when lathered up, and report back if you don't mind.

Ha, yea, that doesn't read that well does it, but you know what I meanMaybe it's the way i read that there lol,probably from working in all male enviroment all my life i suppose.
But aye,no doubt it shall be good,ditto with the wine tasting Paul,on the same hymn sheet here,same with real ales.

Got mine this morning - cheers, P&B.
I have to say that it does not look all that appetising - a sort of greyish-brown. Still, looks aren't everything.
Someone in another thread described the fragrance as 'dirty vanilla' and that is exactly how I would describe it. I'll give a test run tomorrow.
Dirty vanilla, ala Night Music?
Hi Sgt, whilst I haven't experienced Baskerville, ( I knew from the description it probably wouldn't be for me ) I'm surprised at it presenting any challenge in the lathering department. All the P & B soaps I've used from the first versions have given really smooth, slick enduring lather for me. Much more creamy than bubbly, if that makes sense. Only suggestion I can make is that these are relatively thirsty soaps, as soaps go, so maybe try pooling a little hot water on top of the puck to sit & soak in whilst you get on with face washing etc. Failing that I'm sorry one of my fave soaps doesn't work for you, but hey, loads more out there for the years to come.

Yes, I wasn't expecting that, given the comments I've seen from others on P&B soaps. I did indeed pour a little hot water on the soap (as I always do) to soften it whilst in the shower and the brush (mixed boar and badger) seemed to load OK but the volume of lather simply didn't appear. Same technique and time that I use with my other two soaps, as far as I can tell.
As you say, plenty of others to try. I'm quite enjoying getting into this soap lark.
