Nope...thats the Rose box.... so far the only Trumpers Soap I've owned/used. Even bought a refill puck at SMF BST a couple of days ago. This Rose is giving TABAC a run for its money near my sink.... I'm hooked so far...

Sure, I know. Just teasing you about the newly acquired love (the Limes has a lighter pink box as well). I love the rose. Was the first 3T item in my shaving den. It's simply outstanding.
