Price: Got this off the B/S/T for a lot less than retail; besides it isn't made anymore so price is N/A
Quality: Top notch, at least as good if not better than TOBS or Tabac, makes later just as easy if not easier, and slicker than both. You only need a little for it to work its magic.
Scent: Hard to pin down, a leather-spice mix that just works. As a previous reviewer said, it is intoxicating.
Lather: Feed this stuff a little water in its own tub, leave the badger brush fairly wet, and you have tons of meringue in just a few swirls, easily enough for 3-4 passes and the lather stays put.
Efficacy: Nice slick cushion; going back for a quick touch-up between passes is easy, this stuff doesn't dry out right away.
Moisturizing: Pretty good, not great. I prefer that though. Also it's a plus for warm weather. I say, leave the moisturizing to the AS or balms afterward. It doesn't dry out the skin and that's all I ask for in a cream.
Packaging: It's a thick dark amber glass jar! I'll be re-using it for the Sienna pucks once the cream runs out.
I wish C&E still made this cream because I love the scent and I'd hoard as much as I can; it's that good.
