It's my favorite Mike's.
It must be popular, because it never seems to be in stock. I've been wanting to try it.
I got some from a fellow B&B'er. Intoxicating Aroma. 
My favorite from Mike as well. I've posted this before but its my go to evening shave soap as I find it like aroma therapy for a relaxation scent. Heavenly indeed and great later for shaving as well.
I have two extra tins vacuum sealed and stored in my wine cabinet just to make sure I don't run out.

Ask me about shaving naked!
I liked it too but my face didn't. Lit me up like a blowtorch! That happens sometimes... But it found a new home with a happy shaver.
Cheers, Steve

Thanks for the replies, all of you.
It's a really nice soap. I very much enjoyed it.

I didn't think I liked lavender until tried Mike's version. Fantastic stuff. My favorite is still his orange/black pepper/cedar, which he has in stock now.
Looks like samples are no longer available on his site.
Hungarian Lavender is truly outstanding. The essential oil that Mike uses is much earthier than the typical lavender oil used in most soaps. It's in a league of its own, and can probably win over a fair number of people that don't like florals.
I really like Lavandin and Eucalyptus, too. It's very similar to Hungarian Lavender (at least to me), but it has a little bit of eucalyptus that gives more complexity.

This has been next on my list of soap for some time, I can't wait until I have some.
That's what I saw too -- didn't see, if you like -- which led me to think it's not in his business model any more.
For those interested, just today he got lavender bars back in stock. Also barber shop.
long live mike's !!!
+1 These are my impressions exactly. There's something about both of these scents which I find addictive and which make me think about the scents long after I'm done shaving. If Mike made an aftershave or some other fluid of these scents I'd bathe in it for hours.
Just ordered the Orange/black pepper/cedar. First time with Mikes soap, Ann Arbor is not too far away, and I have wanted to try his soaps for a while now, but have had a hard time finding this one in stock. So many great reviews, have high hopes for this soap.
