I bought a new formula Tabac soap, after having finished the old version tallow soap (in the simpler days, when I had only one soap). I haven’t yet tried the new version, but I have heard mostly good things. It seems to be less stanky™ than the old one, fwiw.
Oh right, I’ve seen a lot of references to the “stank”. Is that from musk? I’ve noticed I don’t usually like soaps with musk in their profile.
I have trouble distinguishing scents, but I don’t believe it is. At first contact, Tabac can be a bit overwhelming, but you’ll get used to it. It smells kind of old.
I do too. The musk scents I haven’t liked have all had a note that reminded me of bad BO. Im intrigued by tabac and will probably get some soon. Worst case scenario I have to PIF it away.
