I finally remembered to try the American lavender sample.
Ever since it came to me, I've been sniffing it every now and then: I've never been able to smell the lavender!

I feel it like a powdery scent, very good, but not lavenderish.
Nothing to do with C&S, CF, Ethos, CS...
It's not a lavender, but I liked it a lot.

Two turns in the bowl where I had spread some soap and already the protofoam was being created.
My feeling is that you don't like too much water, but I have to try it again.
For two laps I used a negligible amount: I think a standard bowl can last for years!
Taken from raptus, I did a test with the Pal Injectomatic, I don't know why: let's call it inspiration...
And it didn't give me any unpleasant sensations as it had happened before: I think I'll use it again to confirm it!

The stumbling block was finding something to match, olfactively, the soap powdery fragrance: neither of the two samples given to me by @bilos2511 fit, and let's not talk about the other lavenders on the shelf.
The least worse was this Iberian cologne.
After rinsing my face, there was no fragrance left on my skin, but in my nostrils there was: that's why I wanted something that didn't squeak.

And, despite this, I am very satisfied!
