Thanks to u/Priusaurus for today’s smush.

Today’s theme is pretty cool because it encourages trading and interacting among participants. This being my first Lather Games, I don’t know many people on reddit, but thanks to the help of a few people, including Los Dupe, I’ve been able to fill every hole I had in my calendar (I think.)

The scent of Monoi de Tahiti, immediately transported me to a sun-drenched beach, where the scent of exotic flowers mingled with the sweet aroma of coconut. The fragrance was a perfect blend of flowers, vanilla, and a hint of tropical fruit, evoking images of lazy days by the ocean. The lather became a slick foam that felt like a tropical breeze against my skin. As I shaved, I couldn't help but smile, imagining myself sipping a pina colada under a swaying palm tree.

With the shave complete, I used Hoffman's Road Trip splash. Which smells like the drink I should be sipping on, while laying at Monoi de Tahiti Beach. It’s creamy rum, banana, pineapple coconut milk, nutmeg, cinnamon, and vanilla. I honestly don’t know what is in a pina colada, but this smells like one to me. The splash dried down into a subtle, invigorating scent that lingered just enough to keep the adventure alive without overpowering. It was a perfect complement to the tropical notes of the Monoi de Tahiti soap, adding tropical layer that made the whole experience feel dynamic and exhilarating.

Finally, to cap off the journey, I used Azzaro’s The Most Wanted. The fragrance was a woody spicy scent with a huge serving of vanilla and ginger, creating a bold, captivating scent that was both warm and enticing. It added a touch of maturity, while the vanilla and ginger give a nod to the tropical and adventurous notes of the soap and splash, making the overall experience feel complete.

The interaction between the sweet, tropical notes of the soap, the warm, sweetness of the splash, and the deep, interesting fragrance was nothing short of spectacular. It was like finishing a perfect day at the beach with an elegant dinner under the stars.

Challenge: I’m not sure I’m qualified to answer this, but Spearhead Shaving makes some pretty good stuff. I’d like to see an exclusive soap from them.
