I took a sniff of my MT today and it still smells nice. It is not strong, but it definitely has a nice scent. The test will be next week.

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. How did you do that? I just grated then compressed it into a deodorant type stick container. Still enjoying the soap, thanks again.

I used mine just a couple days ago. It still has a nice scent, although diminished some. When I lathered the scent grew a bit stronger and it performed very well. I keep mine in an antique glass Kerr Jelly Jar that has a metal lid that sets on top.

I use MT with the green TNNSER. Still lathers great. The scent may be down a tad. I would say very little though. I store mine in a screw top plastic container.

Shaved today. And I agree with the Fuzzman. Lathering and performance is still very good, perhaps even improved. However the scent, which was quite light at first, has definitely reduced. My Morning TOST SOTD

Thank you all for the input. Now my mission is learning how to make the scent last longer.

Thank you all for the input. Now my mission is learning how to make the scent last longer. It sounds like a key ingredient is the container. Qualitatively speaking, it seems those of us who stored in compact, (mostly) air-tight containers, probably fared better than those who used slightly more air-permeable storage. I'm sure there is some chemistry-based solution to scent-longevity as well....I've received soap from a couple of makers that only ship the puck in a thin cardboard box, and strangely enough the scent is still pretty strong. Good luck and keep us posted -- you've definitely got the performance-part locked down!

I am doing Morning TOST from today through Sunday. It still has a light scent. It lathered well, and it rinses clean.

I've got this penciled in for Tost Tuesday, and the Williams on Wednesday next week. So far the performance has been consistent. Lathers well, good slickness, no short comings there. The smell is mostly gone from mine, but I simply stored it in open air in an Old Spice mug. As I've alluded to before, I'm sure the scent oils are flashing off to the atmosphere so those that kept theirs covered still have a good scent.
Do I hope you figure out a way to make the scent persist? Yes, because it was a nice scent and I imagine your others are as well and a little scent does add to the soap. That said, I can be happy with unscented soap too if it performs well - and this does.
I'll try to do an update here on Tuesday.

I've used my Morning Tost many times now and the performance is good as the first day. The scent, however, has become sensibly lighter. On the other hand, the Sen Sen is still going strong!

Used the TOST today for a quick shave. I don't think I took enough time with the lather. It wasn't as slick today for some reason. (well, mostly my not taking the time, I'm sure). I may revisit on Thursday following Williams Wednesday.
There is a bit more scent to mine than I though. If I stick my nose over the mug, it's light, but there.

Well it's not Morning TOST, but it is Vintage Life's Sen-Sen Licorice Shave Soap. It is holding up very well. I had a great shave this morning with this nice soap. Thanks again, @vintagelife for this nice soap.

A little scent update. After using my MT the last time, I noticed after it dried there were little spots of oil on the surface again. I put some press and seal over the mug it's in, came back a week later and gave it a sniff. Stronger scent than previously, so it would seem I can get partway back to the origingal scent strength just by keeping it in a container.
