Has anyone tried this new AYLM scent? I'm curious to hear opinions

No, but it has an interesting scent description.

A fragrance that combines the freshness of a rain that has now stopped with the earthiness of a primitive soil.

Sounds interesting.

Sounds indeed interesting, but I'm certified hemp-hater 🀒 (maybe I'm a hypocrite, as they say in the description 🀷). Hemp does not appear in the scent notes, but I'd rather have an opinion on this before buying.

I like the way they try to market it as Pacific-y and related to Gauguin, but then, I'm also not a fan of Gauguin...

I doubt I would be a fan of Gauguin, the person, but I like his art and I like the cover art on the soap tub. I don't know enough to know whether I like hemp seed oil or not. Chances are, I wouldn't know it was there unless you told me :)

If I don't smell hemp, I can certainly live with it, but hemp normally has a quite overpowering smell and taste to it (in everything I tried from hemp beer to hemp seeds).

Yeah, I cracked and ordered it 🫠

Great! I look forward to your impressions of it.
