Chris was nice enough to send me a small puck of Tonsorial English Lavender Soap, the same scent found in his Grassroots Lavender, as it is similar to Yardley's lavender soap.
Off the puck I can smell a very light lavender scent. It is quite soft, fighting with what I presume is the base soap scent (?) to be recognized. I would give it a 2/10 in strength. I have a feeling this will be a good soap for those hot summer days when you don't want anything prominent. However, for my tastes, if it were closer to 4/10 scent strength (still light), it would likely be perfect.
Comparing it side by side to the bar of (newer) Yardley's handsoap, I'd say it is definitely lighter and slightly different... But very much in the same family. (YEAH!)
Thank you again @CBLindsay for your generosity. It is so appreciated. [emoji846]

Valhalla, the pinnacle of the Viking warrior experience. This scent is loosely based on the classic "Drakkar Noir," (but not affiliated with) - a noble scent for a noble life. A sharp, spicy blend of scents with notes of lavender, amber, sweet citrus, and sandalwood (made from a pre-blended...

The scent description has me really wanting to give this soap a try. What do you think of it?
Great performance but as with all their soaps, it's exceedingly light on the scent. What I can smell smells nice. Just wish it's scent (and every other CBL soap I have) was stronger.
Careful now. They put extra skin conditioning stuff in their soaps......
