I think I got a cavity from inhaling the sweetness of this one. Hoffman's describes this as a "glorious Christmas cookie scent" with notes of buttercream, caramel, almond, sugar cookie and vanilla. In the realm of Christmas cookies, I'd say this smells like a Snickerdoodle cookie. Is that the most glorious Christmas cookie? I'm not sure it is. This is a challenging subject because I have some friends that go all out baking during the holidays and I wind up with boxes of mixed baked goods from them. Sure there might be a sugar cookie or two in there but there's any number of sugary delights that are far better than a Snickerdoodle. I guess I've been spoiled like that. Feel free to discuss amongst yourselves what your favorite Christmas cookie is. This sample smelled like cookie off the tub but less so once lathered. The shave was fine, but Hoffman's base isn't going to give any of the top tier artisans a run for their money.
If I shaved in the kitchen this morning, I'm pretty sure this soap would not have made it smell like I was baking cookies. But, I didn't shave in the kitchen and my bathroom didn't smell like fresh baked cookies either. As my wife was waking up as I got out of bed, I thought better about shaving in the kitchen in the interest of marital harmony.
Try to enjoy your day and remember to be kind to one another.
