INGRAM of EGYPT

[malocchio]

View attachment 996143 Ron, this is the Egyptian Palmolive Menthol cream. It’s got the same great lather and good, strong menthol sensation as the Italian version but the scent is completely different.

interesting !

Anybody got a link to the good Ingram’s that’s mentholated? Or that Palmolive in post #20?

 

[Big Rick]

interesting !

It’s a very good cream except for the scent which I find industrial and unpleasant. Sort of like the old American version.

The same Egyptian seller on eBay is offering Ingram aftershave cologne, did anyone here use it? If so does it smells like Ingram lather cream?

This Palmolive cream from Egypt is only available over there and in other countries in the Middle East such as Lebanon as well as in North Africa. It’s a great latherer, the menthol effect is really strong, the skincare is excellent, but the scent is nothing like the Italian Palmolive Menthol. IMHO it leaves a lot to be desired. Ah well, you can’t have everything!

This seems cool. I always thought it was the same as Italian. How's the smell?

The Egyptian version of Palmolive Menthol has a very industrial scent which to me is not so pleasant. At least everything else about it is exactly the same as the Italian one.

Hope this helps!

Palmolive Cool and Menthol are one and the same, because both are manufactured at the same plant in Italy.

The one from Egypt is actually made there and I believe it’s also exported to Morocco and Tunisia. It’s very enjoyable except for the scent which I think is disgusting. The menthol sensation is just as strong as the Italian and Eastern European versions and the lather is perfect as well as the skincare.

Haven't used Egyptian Ingram for about 8 years. My old tube was all metal with sturdy plastic cap. I cannot remember if it was hermetically sealed, which is the best seal, but the new version is in an all plastic tube with an unsealed spout. This cuts down the shelf life , especially if the cap is not cranked on tight. Hermetically sealed creams from the 1970's are still good to use. The new version has nice cooling, but Egyptian Lord Emofresh is actually cooler....Ingram is very concentrated, a good long lasting cream, a small dab was enough to shave both face and head with no problems. Maybe not the best lube , but still a nick free shave. Scent is really unique, a mild masculine , dry powder and " black pepper / cardamom" scent, VERY hard to describe, but I love it...4 sixty gram tubes shipped for $19, a damn good deal !.......my only { slight } complaint is the seller , bonballoon.com , Scotch taped an entire side of the beautiful box with a home made expiration date that made no sense at all...I have messaged him on ebay to see what the hell he was trying to do, if you look at the dates in these pictures you'll see why, plus, I like to keep the boxes and this crap ruins the look....At any rate, this is a very difficult cream to find,get it while you can...View attachment 957901 View attachment 957902 View attachment 957904

Both versions - green and blue are terrific!

British Ingram tends to separate when stored humid and hot conditions.

Hi there. Is the blue ingram with more menthol? And would you say the green and the blue ingram scent is the same?

It's been several years since I had a green tube , I just can't remember if it's cooler than the blue, or if the scent is very different. I do remember the lather was as good as the blue , and very concentrated.

Going back at the apparently confusing label:

"Production date:b Aug-19
Expiry date: Aug-21"

It's not expiring the next day. It's made in August 2019 and expires in August 2021.

WOW ! very impressed, nice rose scent, a little goes a long way, plenty slickness. What a nice cream !!!
