A thread that isn't really about "Opinions on Arko Scent"

[Finarfin]

I love face lathering with Arko. The initial smell of a freshly opened stick definitely brings to mind urinal cakes. It smells completely different on the face, I don’t really notice much of a smell except for clean soap. I don’t use anything to cover my open stick and find it really mellows out after a week or so.

It does on your face too. After a week or so....

I smashed a stick into an old frozen yogurt container and bloomed it before a shower. Not a hint of urinal cake and amazing lather.

Not my favorite but I don't mind the scent. It's fine for me. Citronella-ish?

Can we just bury this dead horse and get on to something more productive? For example, it's been a while since I've seen a thread bashing the Veg.

I wish Arko would put out a soap with armadillo fat and buffalo milk in it using their standard scent. They could write some long, poetic piece about the allure of long road trips and rest stops and picnic tables and smelling freshly washed when you tuck into a meatloaf sandwich on Mom's homemade white bread somewhere beside a 2-lane highway in Kansas. Maybe mention orange soda in a glass bottle. Loads of nostalgia. They could "drop" the soap at midnight on the first day of summer, call it "Solstice" or "Roadside" or "Route 66" or "Gingham."

It would sell out.

How frequently is there a fresh drop of Arko, anyway, @TBoner? Does Arko announce upcoming drops on twitter and Instagram? I'm still working on a 12 pack I got from the April 2016 drop.

Well, you have to appreciate that @Owen Bawn is practically a professional flagellator of deceased equines.

Are you and @Whilliam suggesting that people have negative reactions to the scent of Lilac Vegetal? I dimly recall that I might have seen a post about that some years ago. Sounds interesting.

Well . . . the possibility does exist.

This is what this thread is all about. Unleashing creativity and originality. Good job.

It's tough to keep up. I just make sure to check Instagram at least four times a day.

When that limited edition Eau de Parfum drops, you can bet I'm getting the first bottle.

And charge 40 bucks! I'm in!

Hey all,

Is it normal to have an Arko hangover? I have a headache and upset stomach this morning after shaving with Arko yesterday afternoon. I only had 6 or 7 IPA tallboys, so it can’t be that...

I thought you gave up the craytur for Lent?

Nope. My kids knocked me off the wagon for one night. I’ve been good since.

The top notes can be a little sharp, but the drydown is...ahem...golden.
