Item Description
This is a great cream marred by a synthetic, mediocre scent.
Price/Quality/Packaging: Not a bargain cream by any means, but not overpriced. The cream itself is obviously of very high quality, but the packaging leaves a lot to be desired - a very plain white plastic tub with ordinary paper labels on it - they don't even have a laminate coating, so I imagine if you get it wet the labels won't last. Mine came with a tape seal around join between lid and container. This was a nice idea, but it ripped most of the label off when I removed it. So it's not a work of art.
lather/Performance/moisturizing: Great. A slicker, wetter, denser lather than Taylor's or Salters, for instance, but a great performer nonetheless. Moisturization was OK, not superb. A dollop made enough lather for five or so passes, and it didn't take too much water.
Scent: Here's where the cream falls down. I didn't get a hint of musk or spice or anything else that I would associate with "Persian Musk." I would perhaps call it "Grandma" or "scented drawer-liner." Sort of a generic perfume smell. Not really unpleasant, but not musky and not something I would look for in a shaving cream. It's a shame, because the cream works really well.
