Liz, the colour is growing on me too, and the soap wasnt strong smelling at all, so I didnt expect it to linger, so was interesting to hear Ross write about the scents that lingered, so thanks for that - I have looked at your website now and seen another lavender wisp that looks more like what I would expect, however when experimenting with colour.... we are not in control of the end result. Now onto Louises for my next shower.
