    Happy Halloween!

    Norway’s most prominent note is clove, but it’s done in a really nice way. I had one other Viking soap in the past (don’t blame me, it came in a box-O-goodies, and I ended up throwing that one away. Denmark, it was called. The soap base… it works, but it’s not my favorite. I prefer something like Stirling. Today it felt a little dry for the first two passes, so I added more water for the 3rd pass. The extra water killed any residual slickness it might have had.

    Followed it up with some “dark” scents (Mood Indigo aside). GLS is just fantastic, and I can smell it over the Santa Noir which is buried under my shirt. Strong stuff.
