    Default Best MB's Vanilla Soap Scent

    I see she has quite a few of them, and was looking for opinions. I am about to make my first purchase with her. They all sound great. Sandlewood Van., Tahitian Van. Help me out.

    I have no basis for a comparison of multiple MB vanilla scents, but do rather enjoy her sandalwood vanilla. It's sweet-smelling, of course, but not overly so IMHO.

    If you've smelled Hydrogen and are a fan of it, you'll probably like Tahitian Vanilla. To me, its a lighter and sweeter scent. Very nice.

    I haven't smelled any of them, but the Tahitian sounded good, maybe hydrogen as well. I'll check it out.

    Tahitian Vanilla does have a definite tropical fruit note to it. To me, it's not so much vanilla with a touch of tropical fruit as it is tropical fruit splashed with vanilla.

    The Sandalwood Vanilla (judging from the scent sample anyway) is a pretty even balance of sandalwood and vanilla. The scent sample of Vanilla Cream is more of a straight vanilla scent, and plenty creamy too.

    p.s. I absolutely LOVE Hydrogen. My warm weather soap.

    I really enjoy her Sandalwood Vanilla. True, it's a little sweet, but the scent is heavenly nonetheless. I like it for those rare evening shaves.

    I hope you like the Hydrogen. I'm in Tuscon this weekend, and Hydrogen is just perfect. A forum member told me that it smells light and fresh... what hydrogen might smell like if it had a scent... and he's right. If you don't like it, somebody will buy it off of you (even though I have a near-full tub already, I'd probably buy it; I like it that much).
