Item Description
When the horde of visigoths plunder my shave stash, this is the first one I'll be replacing. It shaves like a dream, and the scent is one of the best I've encountered in a cream. Hard to find any fault at all with this, save the plastic tube. See below.
Price- $30? Oofah, but at least you get a healthy sized 150g tube. You didn't think Penhaligon's would be giving it away, didya? That price puts it in the very highest tier, but not as bad as CF or some others. Hard to call it a bargain.
Quality- No shortcuts here. Everything about it reeks of quality.
Scent- 10 is not high enough. Dominated by neroli/bergamot, and captivating.
Latherability- No issue. As good as it gets.
Efficacy- I thought I would be paying for mystique and scent, but the strong performace was a pleasant surprise. Top notch any way you look at it.
Moisturizing- For the spring through fall periods when its use will be most appropriate, no additional moisturizing may be needed. Leaves the face feeling very nice.
Packaging- So it's not in the silver topped tub, as in the case of Blenhein Bouquet. A chintzy plastic tube is all you get, albeit one with some gorgeous graphics on it. NB: My tube of Douro failed the very first time I used it. The seem at the bottom split- not very encouraging for a $30 product.
An all around delight. Expensive, but worth it.
