I went batty about it as well when I first tried it out..the look, the whoopa! fragrance and also the sudsability (new word here) seems more intense than cp soaps. SoapSister of mine, I would just love to receive a scent sample of your nutty soap! I too am an almond lover and just yesterday made a beer based bloak bar with almond scent.

I'm hoping to correct that by "tweaking" (oh no!) the recipe a bit. The lather is fab, seems to moisturize pretty much the same as my CP. It's not pretty, though, as you can see. But my soap has only been "prettied up" for the last couple of months.
