I use the woodland musk soap (which is great) and the pairing of the beard oil is as great as I'd hope. You can smell the soap on you after showering, but the addition of the beard oil is a nice way to level up the scent and carry it with me. Works as great as another other top shelf beard oil. If you like Bearsville's soaps, and have a beard I'd definitely recommend these oils, at least for a spin. The scent for me is what puts it over the top.
