It takes a couple of uses for the soap to soften up.
It is the same as other soaps except for 2 things (in my experience)

a. Need to load slightly longer for Icoloniali (time reduced as soap gets softer over time). With a damp (and slightly wet brush), I load and build lather partially in the soap bowl (can see some suds) until the suds 'dry up' on the brush a bit, then move to my face for full lathering.
b. It is not as dense as, say. MWF. But it is very slick (I go for its slickness than trying to achieve MWF's denseness)

X 2

I also found when breaking in the puck, that slow swirls of the brush for a longer period (up to minute or more) helped significantly. Once the puck is broken in, its a lot easier to get a great lather. The stuff is superb.

What does it smell like? I've heard it described as mouldy bananas in never washed gym socks and it's always put me off.

I think it smells like Comet cleaner.

Chocolatey smokey sweet mangos with a menthol kick.

It sounds strange but its divine. Addictive. The balm is also fantastic.

I've read reviews of the scent that are all over the board - but that didn't stop me from picking up a bowl.

I would describe it as "cologne-y" - pretty masculine and I don't get any of the earthy notes that people refereence.
