Just got this in my inbox. I’ve managed to stop buying soaps for quite a while, but I’ll definitely be ordering a set of this. My favorite scent of all time. Hopefully, he hasn’t f’d it up…

Man, I'm so excited about this. Roam (soap) was amazing and I killed a tub of it. The scent brought me to a very specific place early in my life. It felt like I was hiking at Philmont in New Mexico. Camped out in a field, a camp fire going in the distance -- it just smells so good.

So much this. I mean, obviously my specific is different than yours. Lol. But same idea. It reminds me of summer nights outside of Sonora. Outdoor fire burning just because we could. I smell it and it just takes me right back. It’s why I’m worried it won’t be the same. 🤞🏻

Yeah, I'm really looking forward to picking up the splash. I have a soap & balm set, and the balm became all chunky.

Nice! I have the old splash and it’s glorious. A little goes a long way.

I wonder if they have a license for that Vogon.

I'm not a trademark lawyer, but the guy who runs Barrister & Mann is (at least, I think he is). Of all the soapers, I'd say he's the least likely to use images and branding he's not supposed to. I'm not sure what this all means, but it would appear at least some portion of HG2G is fair game https://trademarks.justia.com/789/79/hitchhiker-s-guide-to-the-galaxy-78979873.html
