How is the B&M scent?

Here's an excerpt from my previously documented impressions:

"...It opens with a bold and interesting blood orange and passion fruit. I immediately began comparing it to Soapmakers of Awesometown, but that's because it's the only other soap in my den featuring passion fruit. In reality, that's probably the only similarity. The blood orange and passion fruit seem to teeter until a subtle spiciness infiltrates the accord about midway through the shave. It also takes on a floral note but never abandons the citrus for the entire two and half passes. The paired B&M splash matches very well, but it does have more depth particularly with respect to the dry down. The citrus burns off first, and then the passion fruit and floral note. There is a brief period in which I could swear I'm detecting neroli, but I do not see that mentioned in the scent notes. The dry down reveals an unexpected thick greenness becoming sharper as it fades about 3 hours later.

While Citricuyá is one of the least complex Barrister and Mann fragrances I've experienced, it's undoubtedly intentional and still has more depth than many of my other citrus products. In terms of longevity, I place it somewhere between Adagio and Rhapsody. This a very pleasant fragrance."

Super slick lather from this CC soap! Build it patiently with brush on the face. Really satisfying lather! Brush is terrific.
Shave with the razor paired with this blade was amazing! Super smooth and sharp without any issues. Did not feel any blade at all. 3 multiple direction pass is enough for a BBS to DFS result.
Hmmm...somehow...beats the GC.84 SB yesterday in terms of smoothness and efficiency. Now I understand better...no regrets in getting a variety of razors, blades and soaps/creams. The pleasure of getting a great shave from all things clicking together!
Ice water rinse was good, followed by refreshingly minty Thayers then topped off by Hyaluronic and AV Musk! Wow..! Great start for the day! Rating today 9.7/10
