That doesn't quite sound like the language of a convert but at least you're giving it a go, if it's still not to your liking give it a water bath for five minutes shake it off and put the lid back on. Repeat as necessary, it should mellow right down.
Or, then again, you could just be like most of us & buy a soap / cream which comes direct from the manufacturers performing & smelling well without becoming your own artisan blender !
(Sorry Antster, jist couldn't resist !).
I bought my first Tabac stick a couple of weeks ago. To me, and I am no scent connoisseur, it smelt like soap. Quite strong, but soapy all the same. I couldn't get anything floral or citrussy, just soap, and not unpleasant.
Now there you go screwing around with new guys and telling em Tabac smells like a pleasant walk in a tree and flower filled forest. This isn't a joke! I know many people who have suffered projectile vomiting and worse from Tabac huffing!!
Sorry new people......I will apologize for antdad.
