I still have it in my weekly rotation as I don't hate it as such, but I'd not buy it again if it was still available when what I have runs out. Monach on the other hand, is definitely one of my all time favourites.

The only Noble Otter soap keeps racking my brain like crazy and a very confusing scent is the ‘Til The Season, it’s supposed to be a warm Christmas scent unfortunately it’s not.
 
Is Two Kings going?
 
I love the Noble Otter Two Kings. Yes it very flowery, kinda like baby powder to my nose but its very pleasant but of course it was one that I like that the family down voted it and I never get to use it as much anymore.
There is a slim chance it may come back in the future but for now its done for. The same can be said for Plunder and Northern Elixir.
These three were on the chopping block since last year some time ago, maybe mid last year.

As for Tis the season I am very interested in buying it but its a shame there is no matching aftershave locally. I am not sure what to expect but given christmas is vastly different in the US to Australia considering seasons and also themes I feel like the soap is likely usable throughout the year for us.

The announcement from NO:

"We have a ton of stuff planned for 2022 and 2023 and we need to prepare for those items/releases. We are no longer going to be ordering supplies for Two Kings, Northern Elixir and Plunder. This means as soon as we run out of labels or fragrance for these scents then they will be retired. They may return in the future but their is no promise of that. If you have wanted to pick some up, please do so before we run out of inventory."

Hahaha my wife is the same. I like scents like fire and leather and the missus hates them so I don't get to use them much.

Plunder is another NO scent that I was really disappointed with. I've bought so many over the years and the only one I really like is Phoenix and Beau's Imperial Rum.

I understand why she wouldn’t let you sleep in the same bed smelling like piney piss, if, you don’t take a shower and she’ll make you sleep in the doghouse.

Same as yesterday, but I can't be bothered with a new pic. This sample's all gone now. It was nice while it lasted, so next year I might well look out for more. I have yet to try a sample of the tub version of the same soap, also acquired through the generosity of the same member. P&C is a great place. :)
