To anyone who received a soap from me... Could I get an update on scent and performance? Its been some time and I would like to know how the scent is holding up. Also, when giving feedback, please say if its been stored in an airtight container. It doesn't matter if its that soap or the sen-sen. This will help improve for future forum soaps. Thanks!

Have not used the sen-sen yet, but the morning TOST scent while still there has faded. It is in a Ziploc bag.

I have Morning TOST scheduled starting next Thursday. I am looking forward to breaking it out again. I will let you know then.

Mine is still holding scent well and performance hasn't diminished.

Using it tomorrow. Kept in a covered mug and haven't noticed any drop in the scent or anything else

Performance is unchanged -- perhaps a touch better in terms of lather stability, which may be a function of "curing" or perhaps my technique is improving in terms of loading and amount of water to use. Scent strength has decreased marginally -- perhaps by 20% to 25%. I'm keeping the soap in a ziploc round container (tupperware-like with a snap on lid). When I open the soap, I still get a nice burst of scent; and it's still nicely present when I'm loading the brush, but it seems to drop off after the lather is built. This is the only part of the shave where I think the scent isn't as strong as on day 1 or even the last time I used it -- which was maybe 3 weeks ago. My opinion of this soap also remains unchanged -- I'm a big fan -- if this were a purchased product, it would definitely be on my re-purchase/refill list!

I noticed that....I've got no explanation for that at all. @vintagelife -- I assume you kept some soap, how is it going for you? And how do you store yours?

I used the Morning Tost this morning, both scent and performance still great. I turned mine into shave stick (in a canister) so it is pretty well sealed in.

I had mine in a Ziploc sandwich bag. There is hardly any scent left. I need to figure out how to make scents last before I make any more soaps.

Essential oils are too volatile. I need to find out how soap makers scent their soaps and get it dialed in. Thanks for the help.
