Acqua di Parma - Thoughts on Cream+ Balm

[Direwolf76]

Hi, gents!

I have never tried this or the balm, so just curious to get some feedback in terms of performance and scent.

My faves in terms of scent:

• B&M Reserve Cool
• Extro Cosmesi Pirata
• Myrsol F/Extra
• TOBS Jermyn Street
• B&M Reserve Waves
• B&M Reserve Lavender
• Floris No 89 AS
• Zingari Watchman
• Déclaration Grooming Darkfall
• NO Orbit

Given the ones near the top, I suspect I would enjoy it, but just curious what people’s thoughts are.

TIA!

AdP v3 (yellow jar) is a top-shelf lathering agent.
Scent is largely citrus, slightly floral and slightly herbal; and very refreshing!

Not very impressed by the balm, but I don't care for balms in general.

The cream - yellow jar - is excellent. Beautifully lubricating and creamy. The question is whether it’s worth the high price tag? It is if you want one of the best scents out there matched by super performance. But if the scent is not a draw, then there’s better value elsewhere.

This is one of the best creams going. The scent is just like the EDC. You can sample it in any department store. Frankly the post shave is so good with the cream that I don’t bother with a balm at all on this one.

I got a sample of the yellow jar and used it for a few days. It irritated my skin to the point where it took weeks to heal. I found the scent overpowering. I'd take any of the SJOL creams over ADP any day.

Hi, gents!

Got to try the shave cream and emulsion. The cream was surprisingly quite good and same with the emulsion. The scent was marvellous. Better than expected.
