I've been on a Yardley kick since December. First with the English Lavender, followed by the Almond Oatmeal which I didn't like at all, and my latest bar is the Aloe and Cucumber which is great. I've got the large bar of Pomegranite Blossom up next, then the Shea Butter to follow.
I didn't like the Almond because it has a grit to it and it makes me feel like the soap was dropped in a sand box.

As WW mentioned above, I too have been on a Yardley kick. If you don't like the grit from the oatmeal one then also avoid the pomegranate rose as there is some grit there too. Currently I'm using the aloe cucumber and agree that it's fantastic. TWGW recently picked up a bottle of Dr. Bronner castile soap and I used it for the first time this morning. It was pretty good as well.

Where do you buy it John? I have not tried that one yet.
I buy it from a local store in Cincinnati, but here's the website for Olivella, I buy the "Classic"

I've been alternating a bar of Hermes Equipage with an artisan bar scented supposedly to resemble Acqua di Gio (but actually with hardly any scent at all). Waiting in the wings are Roger & Gallet Fougere and Yardley Spice soap-on-a-rope, which I plan to use as a microphone for karaoke singing where no one can hear me.

They had the two versions available: the old package (in the upper side) and the new one (lower side). The soap itself its the same, though.
The Triple Alfazema is next on my list. I really like the "Mild" version.

I made a hand soap using a bar of yardley, glycerin and something else that I can't think of at the moment. very soothing on the hands, but it doesn't bubble up well at all.
