I have heard some good things about Castle Forbes Lime Cream....but I cannot reconcile the price with any of the goodness it promises...$41 for a jar.
Favorite Citrusy soap scent
- Thread starter Will DDH
- Start date
I think Captain's Choice Lime is excellent
In no particular order:
Wholly kaw fern concerto - for a menthol Fougère, this has a LOT of bergamot and lemon.
Tcheon Fung sing rasozero agrumella - bear shaving rasozero by far. Nice straight lemon.
Razorock what the puck lime
Razorock what the puck orange
Mike’s orange cedar black pepper

You should try and find a sample and see if you like it first. If you like it, buy it. It's a very concentrated cream and you need very little to make a very nice lather. It lasts a long time. My lavender tub has outlasted more than a few soaps.
So far my favorites are:
Chatillon Lux/Declaration Grooming Chestnut and 88th formerly Fourth and Pine. This is a neroli and citrus forward scent. It was in Bison tallow. I'm not sure which base it will be released in this spring. I really enjoy this and I'm lucky enough to have both the toner and balm from CL. I like to use the Aftershave stuff with a couple different soaps.
B&M Seville: I think everybody should try this scent. Its kind of a benchmark for scent.

How's the Martin de Candre Citrus Shaving Soap?
My two favorites are WSP Cedar Citron and TOBS Grapefruit.

+1 Just picked up a tub of SoCal...GREAT Scent!
The AS is also top notch.
Good to know. Thanks!
Grooming Dept CITRIC sounds amazing:
"Notes of bergamot, petitgrain, lemon, lime, Kaffir lime leaf, blood orange, sweet orange, grapefruit mandarin, citronella. Additional notes of pink pepper, benzoin, litsea cubeba, ginger, and cinnamon provide a spicy note. A floral note come with jasmine, geranium, ylang-ylang, violet. A base of oakmoss, coumarin, balsam, elemi, vetiver, and amyris finish off this complex aroma."

I didn't love Citric, my tub had a very gamey scent to it. Tao is the one by Grooming Dept that I loved. Very grapefruit forward, which I like.

I am a big citrus and grapefruit fan. Have TOBS grapefruit which I bought and like. After using it a few times, I did notice it's a bit cloying. I am still trying to determine if it's the grapefruit or some additional scent added that gives it that thick over-sweet smell.
Keep in mind, it's still an awesome scent, just the more you use them the more you delve into their 'depths'. [emoji16]

Excellent, and I was going to include it here on the list.
