Get a sample and give it a try if possible. It smells great to me, not like a cleaning product at all. Like everything YMMV but this is one of the lighter CB scents that I have (LPV, LMR, Fruit Loops) and I really enjoy it. As always the performance of the soap is stellar.

Thank you Owba I'll keep that in mind.
Sample availability is hit and miss as you probably know, but I've been able to get a few. I'll try to get my hands on one.

Catie's Bubbles excellent soap !!! I love it !!!
I love Caties Bubbles, definitely my #1 soap, I had a hard time getting the rose scent from anyone until I subscribed to maggards razors notification letter and it was sold out in hours after I got notified but at least I got my order in and I love it! be warned of a long wait, I waited for at least a month before it was restocked but it is definitely the easiest to load, thicker than Arko and slicker than soap commander,I haven't had need to bloom it and best of all the scent is definitely present unlike other soaps.
Hmmm...several new scents on the CB site today. And by "new" I mean that I've never seen them before. They look interesting.
Dunno if my response should be "great!" or "why is he doing this to us".
I picked up a couple of samples, anyway.

Thank you for that, I ordered some.
Celtic Knot, Waterlyptus and Un Jour Gris all sound interesting.
I don't need more soap, I don't need more soap, I don't need more soap.

I don't need more soap either...but I just ordered Un Jour Gris.
Anyone else try the aftershaves? I love the soaps and like to have a matching aftershave but I have not had much luck with them. They are a milky color that doesn't really absorb in my skin and they always feel warm/spicy. I am thinking of adding some more menthol. I know there is not much alcohol in them so not sure how it will dissolve.
I just bought my first 2 soaps from Caties and am looking forward to trying them. I bought the Celtic Knot and the Un Jour Gris and not really sure what to expect scent wise but I'm sure I'll enjoy them and the performance.
I bought the Gardenia aftershave, and I like it. I like that it's witch hazel-based, and I also enjoy its moisturizing properties, too. Plus the scent is killer! CB's Gardenia is, currently, my favorite soap.
Creed green Irish tweed and Tom Ford grey vetiver
Would you consider Celtic Knot more of a cologne scent than a "natural" (for lack of a better word) scent?
Yea it is modeled after a cologne do more complex then regular scents
just received an order. Celtic Knot, and Un Jour Gris (A grey day),
seem too light fragrance-wise for me, but the Barnegat Bay
scent is nice! Can't wait to shave with my first CB Italian
style soap. Given its looks and texture, it's going to be
a lot like RR S. Maria. We shall see.

Got these today. All smell great, but the LVO doesn't really have any orange scent to my nose. Will see if it comes out in the lather in the morning.

That's a nice lineup you have. I've had the LVO for about 2 weeks and it immediately shot to #2 of the 8 CB scents I own. Now it's virtually tied with my #1 (LTV). It's a home run scent for me, more like orange blossom than orange citrus with some green notes blended in.
Of the others in your photo, I have the tub of Bailey's and a sample of LPV. The Bailey's scent is average to me and #7 currently. LPV is as good as everyone says it is, but not my #1. I have Purple Grapefruit and Saturday Morning samples arriving tomorrow.

I received Saturday Morning and Waterlyptus at work today! I was showing the Waterlyptus to a friend and he bought it off of me on the spot. The scent of Waterlyptus is refreshing and Saturday Morning smells just like Fruit Loops. I ordered another tub of Waterlyptus this afternoon as I am sure that it is going to be a hit!
I have been eyeing the Waterlyptus. I'll ask my wife for father's day.
These are great soaps, really nice lather. One of the best I've tried.
Got this one in today, will try tomorrow.

I got a tub of the LPV the other day. First off let me say that baby was full to the top. its kind of soft and smells amazing! If you let it bloom, you can literally touch the soap with a brush and get a nice lather and enough for a 3 pass shave! I would give them a 5/5
