Meissner Tremonia is such a strange soap. It loads super poofy, but adding water settles it down and it's really excellent after that. Woody Almond is the perfect description for this. It's not like a sweet almond like Stirling Almond Creme or Cella (I imagine, although I've never smelled it). Instead it's a dry almond. Like smelling a bag of roasted almonds.
I have a credit card that gives 6% cash back on grocery stores. Gift Cards are supposed to be excluded from that, but it still works at some stores. I used to buy Amazon gift cards, effectively making Amazon 6% cheaper.
There's some psychological stuff to consider, though. Did I spend more on Amazon because there was a gift card balance? I like to tell myself no, but I probably did.

I think it does a good job of the "leaving the jazz club" vibe. I don't think it's trying to imitate it (there isn't really a smell to jazz clubs, except maybe cigarettes outside?), just trying to capture the feeling.
Indigo Mood would have been another good rename, but this came out shortly after Mood Indigo.

When this soap was re-released a few years ago there were some complaints about scent strength. As a result, he re-re-released it with more frag in it. This tub is from before the re-re-release. It's certainly on the lighter side, but I can still smell it.
Then of course he re-re-re-released it under the new name "Indigo" as a result of a cease and desist from https://moodindigoliving.com/.
Ahhh, that makes sense!
It made sense to me when you explained it, and I have a public school education!
With a little gumption that's a quick tub kill. 🔫
