Been a while since I've bought anything, but this is my second set of this scent, having finished the first set in K2 some time ago. It's gorgeous to my nose.

It's been years since I've used Wholly Kaw. This scent is much brighter than I'd imagined from the notes. A pleasant surprise.

I'm certainly picking up the fruitiness of the plum.

I don't know about others, but Sri's soap bases are amongst my top 5 overall and I really do like most of the scents as well.

Merchant of tobacco / king of bourbon are great scents. Dark / chocolatey and rich. . The entry level price also compare to the ones with the more flashy labels

I recall using King of Oud years ago. I loved that one.

Yes, I have both of those as well and agree with you regarding the scents.
My current favourites of the brand are in no particular order - Chypre Rose, Fougere Mania & Amber Bamba.

The thing that has turned me away from
Wholly kaw is availability. I know I can get it from slickboys. But the re stocks seem far and few between when they happen. Which brings me to my next point …. Price . I know all soaps and splashes have been increased from all brands. But wholly kaw are the most expensive amongst the American selection I’ve found. So when they do go out of stock it arcs back to the availability… not many people fork out the money for them so they sit dorment u til the whole wagon needs replenishing
