    I am looking to add to my soap arsenal.
    I love floral and clean scents, and I am curious what your favorites are.

    I am looking for:

    1) great performance: great lather, cushion, and glide.

    2) Fantastic smells: I put a high premium on complexity, strong scents, and sillage (a scent that lasts)

    3) readily available: I should be able to get ahold of it with little effort as opposed to searching for weeks or months on end


    Suggestions?

    For me the best floral is Barrister and Mann Cologne Russe. It has all three of your requirements.
    In the Spring, you really should also check out B&M Rhapsody, too.

    As is often the case, my first suggestion if you're CONUS is to check the scent list at Ginger's Garden. The soaps are top performers in my opinion, with a huge list of available scents which you can further customize through mix-and-match.

    If you like rose try chypre rose concerto by wholly kaw. Chypre scents have depth and evolve over time and the rose never wanes but warms as it does.

    I have not found any soaps that smell lingers beyond the final rinse. I do think Caties bubbles perform well and have nice floral scents.

    Route 66 has great performance, scents are fantastic as well. Although scents are subjective. I have been pleased with the ones ive used.
    I also am a fan of Soap Commander. I get very good performance from them as well. I like that their labels include some key notes of the scents.

    Route 66 is also fantastic performance wise. I have not tried any floral scents however.

    I don't have a lot of floral forward scents, but I do enjoy Barrister and Mann's 42.

    It's especially nice on towel day, if you're a Douglas Adams fan.

    I love the tallow WK soaps, excellent performance. I prefer the scent of Lav Sublime concerto, but I like the rose Chypre even thou I don't usually like rose scents, great scent.

    I can't believe there's still no mention of tabac and klar kabinett. They are both floral, strong scented and great performers.

    If you are familiar with Murry & Lanmans Florida Water,
    There's a great tallow soap to match.
    It's a special commissioned scent by our @soapbuddy .
