Item Description
Penhaligon's sums up this product on the packaging: "Endymion was a king, born rich, beautiful and strong. He sacrificed it all to pursue a lover he saw only in his dreams. Then he discovered that the woman from his dreams did exist, she was Phoebe, goddess of the moon. He was granted immortality on condition that he spent his life asleep and dreaming of her. He accepted." It sounds rather over the top but this quite expensive shaving cream is really hypnotic.
Endymion cream only comes in the 150g tube, not the elegant tub that BB comes in. The package quality is excellent, the tube comes in a high quality box and the overall quality is very good. The cream has a smooth fairly easy flowing consistency. I happen to like Endymion, so I rate the scent very high. Is stays on my skin for at least 2 hours after the shave, so it has a good deal of perfume oil in the mix. I like this feature but it may interfere with other after shaves/colognes.
The cream lathers up well, the volume of lather is not enormous - you get more lather per scoop with TOBS creams. The lather is dense and creamy. It provides a good cushion and lubrication of the blade. Moisturizing is neutral - doesn't dry but not greasy or oily at all.
