So sorry to have taken this so far off the rails!

A lot going on in Christmas Eve. I can smell the woods, and a lot of cranberry. I get something sweet-spicy, is it the cinnamon or the nutmeg... I can't tell. I'm not detecting clove, but it might be a small supporting character here. Also mistletoe... No clue what that smells like. Anyone... Anyone... Bueller... Baldur? [emoji1787]

Edit: Oh! I know what it smells like... The dominant scent is "awesomeness". Nailed it![emoji2957]

I get nutmeg, clove, & cinnamon as the dominant notes with pine and cranberry as supporting scent notes. Overall scent strength is Medium-Strong at 7 out of 10 oCC the tub and when lathered. Great scent for winter.

I think I need to try Shadow Orchid. Sounds really good! @Spider , would you call it a strong, medium, or lightly scented soap? Thanks.

Med to Med-Strong. Fairly on par with Stirling’s scent strength.

Stirling’s pine oriented scents are all fantastic to my nose. Ozark Mountain is my general favorite, but Christmas Eve kicks it up a notch and a sample puck is a part of my yearly Christmas present to myself. Try the bath soap for the shower!

I have a couple bars of Christmas Eve bath soap waiting for winter! Love that scent.

Ozark Mountain is good. It’s just too piney for my liking. And I don’t quite get why it’s so heavy on the pine because whenever I’m in the Ozarks, pines aren’t the prevalent tree.

You are right about pines not being prevalent in the Ozarks, at least not in Missouri. Mostly oak, hickory, dogwood, and add sycamore along the rivers. But from reading local history, a century or more ago pine was indeed a common tree in the Ozark region. Logging was a big industry in the Ozarks back then. Whole mountainsides were clear cut and they would slide the logs down to the rivers and float them to market. The oak just sort of took over after the industry died from what I hear. There are still pockets of pine forest, such as along the Big Piney River. I have not been to the Arkansas region of the Ozarks where Rod and Mandy make their Stirling Soaps, but it may be in one of those pockets of remaining pine forest.

That’s a lot of great samples and I’m surprised I’ve never tried any of them. I did gift Texas on Fire to someone and smelled it before sending it. It’s...unique, but I’m sure it’s got the great Stirling performance!
