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

[hairless wonder]

I leave my Arko to air out for a few hours after use, sitting on my headboard! My wife has a better sniffer than I, so she usually tells me to put it back in the container because I forgot!

Good thing she likes the smell. It IS a clean smelling soap. Nothing fancy (obviously, lol) but I love it. Reminds me of getting in trouble in skool just so's I'd get the "punishment" of having to help the janitor out after class!

Who are you and what have you done with the real Farmer Tan? You actually referred to the missus as your wife instead of as the War Department!

I wonder if all those fumes you must've inhaled while helping the janitor addled your senses to the point that you actually like Arko's scent!

She's had a rough day. I'm practicing WRITING nice things about her so that tomorrow I may remember to SAY nice things to her.

Been a rough couple of years for her. And no. Having me home all day is NOT part of the War Department's trouble! Who wouldn't want to be with me all day!

More power to her. Please let her know I'm a fan of hers. I mean, she's been able to put up with you for years now. She must be a saint or something!

I love the scent. It reminds me of Ivory soap I'd used in my childhood. It's not as overpowering as some of today's premium soaps, which I think can be more appropriately used as deordorizer in my room.

Arko smells no more like Ivory Soap than it smells like a urinal cake.

There, I've said it.

Which of the newer varieties of Penhaligon's scents (at $280 the bottle) best complement Arko?

Why Owen,that would be Viking Cologne by Creed!

I don't know that one. But nothing completes a shave with a .99 soap like a $300 cologne!

Amen.

That would make the combo smell a liiiiittle too good for the price.

 

[DesertDan]

I like the scent, clean and slightly astringent (similar to the way witch-hazel is).
I like using it with cold water and a mentholated AS like Stirling MitA.

Arko smells like freedom. Freedom to smell like a lemon.

I love it.

Be careful my friend!

I think your post may have broken under protected parts of the interwebs!

I will PROUDLY stand up next to you to defend my right to smell like a lemon doggone!

Well maybe you shouldn't stand next too me, I'm not sure what potency of that much Arko would do...

I love the scent of Arko, it smells live Ivory soap to me.

I love the scent. It reminds me of Ivory soap I'd used in my childhood. It's not as overpowering as some of today's premium soaps, which I think can be more appropriately used as deordorizer in my room.

I find it to be quite nostalgic for the days my mom bathed me with Ivory soap; that soap that floated! Wonderful stuff.

As far as the urinal cake goes, I really can’t recall ever having my face in a urinal as many Arko “experts”’apparently have. I do, however, remember being on my knees with my head it a toilet or two in my younger days.

Arko is next on my list of soaps to try in that case, since I still use Ivory soap. [emoji3475]

The folks wouldn't be able to cut the testosterone with a machete, doggone!

Wouldn't be fair AT ALL to those lesser males.

Freedom to smell like a lemon...in an urinal!

Nothing beats the testosterone of thousands of men whizzing in the same restroom.
