What’s new to you?

Lets see what you get out of it. All I got was floral.

Well...I like florals if they are done right. But...I got the soap and aftershave as well. I'm not going to say it smells exactly Lilac Vegetal, but it is reminiscent of the Veg. From the scent description, I would have never expected this. Not sure if I want to keep it and give it a try or pass it on.
 


Well...Dave of the nursing profession posted his. I received mine in the mail also yesterday. I'm a little disappointed because I really wanted to try this soap. I have another A&E soap and it is very nice! But when I opened the tub, I knew this scent wasn't for me. So I decided to check with the Boss...and she confirmed that she wasn't a fan either. The scent notes listed for this soap are:

Notes: Pink pepper , pink grapefruit, tangerine, lavender, cinnamon, pink rose, myrrh, black currant, sandalwood, Haitian vetiver, amber, patchouli, musk and vanilla.

So...I can pick out some of this...the rose definitely, something sweet...maybe the black currant and/or amber...and I think I get the citrus, but I couldn't tell you which one. Then there is some musk and earthiness to it...but nothing specific.

Oddly, as I stated before...I feel like this is a scent that is reminiscent of Lilac Vegatal....but not the same as the Veg. This might scare some of you off.

Anyway...I'm not sure what I want to do with this.

Anyway...I think Josh decided to order this, so I am curious to see what his thoughts are.
 
Bummer that you guys don’t like the scent. Maybe it will be more pleasant when lathered? I really like the graphics.

The graphics are definitely a plus. I think this will be something that a good number of people will like...it's just not for me. If you are a rose guy...this might be a good one. While I wouldn't call it a rose scented soap...I will say that it is in that wheel house.
 
Special package from Dave of the KY persuasion and Chris (cmh)
Chris, you’re in for a Treet with that Gem! Just keep the angle shallow, against your face.

Well...I like florals if they are done right. But...I got the soap and aftershave as well. I'm not going to say it smells exactly Lilac Vegetal, but it is reminiscent of the Veg.

The Veg, you say....??
 
I did indeed order that Dave...if the rose is coming out as much as you say, I'll probably enjoy it.

The comparison to the veg doesn't scare me none!
 
Waiting for me when I got home. 2 Shave mails!


Order from Italian Barber
Booster Mosswood x3
RR Emperor
4711 And Speick bar soaps

The Emperor smells great, and is my first Aventus ‘clone’. I’m fully on board that train now.

Also so got a sample from Shave Pastor of B&M Reserve Classic. Looking forward to trying the Reserve base.

 
I’m interested in the Mosswood. That looks like a lifetime supply!

On top of the 1.5 bottles I already have, I hope it is. It’s one of my favorite aftershaves so I use a lot of it. I debated getting more.....
