First of all, and this is not just ass-kissing for judge points, but much respect to u/J33pGuy13 for seemingly making at least one soapmaker realize there was a huge untapped market for non-terrible, non-meme banana-related soaps and getting in on the action. Like all of us, I am trying to limit new purchases (that being said, fuck GRUYE) so I let this release pass me by, but I was so intrigued by it that when I saw someone offering it up for trade I couldn't resist. And it lived up to the hype, the scent is a very natural banana, not artificial/candylike at all, and has a spicy element that contrasts the banana beautifully. You would never expect a scent like this to work as well as it does. I used the MMOC again today because it has a reputation for being scary, although once you get used to it it's a fine daily shaver.
Ébène Fumé (trying to earn some judge points here by getting all of the diacritics correct) was a great pairing with Boonana, as both are mysterious and spicy, with the smoky wood of Ébène Fumé playing nicely with the long-lasting scent from the SW splash.
And finally, a note of appreciation for the djudges who volunteered to look at a bunch of sink whiskers. Photo here and as an apology for having to look at that, here are some dachshunds to serve as a palate cleanser:
So cute!
Long boi, long stick
Indeed!
