Going straight for the ATG pass isn't particularly gnarly as long as I've been shaving at least two passes daily and face lather to really prep my stubble.
Pine Barrens was the only soap in my collection that was definitely on theme. It works as a woodsy scent, but the strong vetiver note is the secret sauce, planting the juniper and cypress in a larger image of long grass, sun-baked floor covered in pine needles, and rows of trees heading off in every direction. I expect this Catie's Bubbles scent to come up more often than it does.
Killed my sample of "barbershop that’s just tucked into the jungle " Juniper Java, which is an acceptable loss, since Mrs. Mosquito and I have a bottle at home. Tenacious vetiver with a bold natural juniper note. It was an easy match to Pine Barrens.
