    Murray, I have little experience here.
    But Paul at Connaught sent me some sandalwood bath soap that I really, really liked. It was a first for me, though; bath soap just for me with a scent that was not strong, and very pleasant, a lot like the AOS sandalwood scent, which I like best. Great lather, two thumbs up. FWIW; like I said I don't know much!

    : I have been trying to find a bath soap that is
    : truly moisturizing (along the lines of
    : Mitchell's Wool Fat) AND that has minimal

    : I received some MWF bath soap as a gift, and
    : it makes a very rich, moisturizing lather.
    : The scent is irritating, but if I leave an
    : unwrapped bar in the garage for a couple of
    : weeks before use, it is tolerable. And the
    : scent dissipates from there.

    : I ordered some Claus Porto soaps in the
    : Grapefruit Fig fragrance, hoping that it
    : would be less irritating. Unfortunately,
    : the fragrance has a very aggressive effect
    : on my olfactory, the soap doesn't lather
    : easily (even in my soft water), and it
    : doesn't seem very moisturizing. (I'm going
    : to have to throw out a $10.00 bar of this
    : soap and give away the 2 others.)

    : Can anyone tell me which of Giovanni's soaps
    : are the most moisturizing AND the least
    : scented?

    : Many thanks!
