Thanks for your comments on Roam Two. I have too many BaM soaps already and just wasn’t drawn to this one. The last BaM soap I purchased was Marilyn which I didn’t “get” until I bought the fragrance. Now, I’m happy to have it.
I've heard this before about Marilyn. The soap sample I had was okay, but it didn't speak to me either. I might have to try getting a hold of the fragrance...
I mentioned to Will (at the Maggard Meetup) that I thought the connection to Marilyn Monroe was a real stretch. He was born well after she died, but she was alive when I was young and I had the experience of her unique stardom on my generation. The fragrance has that mix of scents from a long romantic evening. It's subtle and very nice once you glom onto it, and once you do, you can appreciate the soap and splash. This is a setup where I definitely recommend the trifecta.
