Well, I am on my 2nd tub of L'Orange Verte which is a jewel IMO. Vibrant, deep orange full of beautiful spices. Simply superb. I just got a sample of Frozen Mojitos and have not used it other than a test lather on an arm. It is not as "loud" as L'Orange Verte, but much milder such as their SoCal Hipster. It does not have any menthol in it that I can sense at this point. It is a crisp lemon IMO, but subtle. As for Khalifa I know nothing as I live in south TX and "cologney" soaps don't sit well here in the heat & humidity. That has deterred e from buying it in the past. YMMV, but I heartily recommend L'Orange Verte and its matching AS which is unbelievable. ;)

P.S. I had a tub of Spartacus and the scent gagged me as I don't like metrosexual type fragrances. :sick: Sold it.

Nice thoughts. Yeah, the Frozen mojito seems to cool with the mint not menthol. I like it though
 
OK, just shaved with Frozen Mojitos. Face lathered, zero blooming. Brush: AP Shave Co. 24mm FlatTop synthetic. Razor: English Gillette "ball end" tech from the 50's. Blade used was a bonafide (Internet rife with fakes) Super Gillette Blue Blade made in China and this made shave #3 on this magnificent blade that is easily the equal of Gillette Russian blades.


The subdued lime scent is static throughout the shave. It never wavered and there was just a sight hint of the mint Dave in KY mentioned. Lathering these latest gen. A&E soaps is mere child's play and the glide is simply capital. In essence, this is a perfect daily Summer shaving soap that is a flanker to SoCal Hipster as they are clones in every regard except the FM is lime/mint. Both have the same scent strength which is what I term as tasteful and not a tsunami of the senses like some of their other soaps. So, if you want what is easily one of the best performing soaps extant buy it.......if this is your type of scent.

Your move, Spiderman. ;)
