Alternative to Santa Maria Novella

[corlay]

I purchased SM Novella last summer, and really like it.
(just used it this am, in fact...)
mostly during the warmer months.

There is hesitancy in making an expensive purchase like this.
I started with RazoRock SMdF, and loved the scent,
but the RR croaps just wont lather well for me and my water.
(The Dead Sea, same)

SM Novella performs very well for me, and I like the scent better than the RR Croap.
(I found the RR croap to be more "Vanilla Forward". Not bad at all, but the SM Novella is a better balance, for me.)

last week, I decided to also chunk down the $$$ for some AdP.
I hope I love it as much as its Italian "cousin"...

I use SMN daily and find it top notch in every way. There are days when I could live without the menthol. Looking for a luxury cream or soft soap that can match SMN in performance sans menthol.
Thanks

Areffa Soaps.
MdC too.

@corlay - you’ll like AdP I believe. It’s extremely concentrated, you can get 2-3 passes from a small pea-sized amount. And on top of that, the scent and performance are top tier.

I ditched some Fine Italian Citrus years back - too lemon Joy dish detergenty for me.
I'm betting that the AdP is more balanced and refined. ;-)

I’ve never hd the Fine IC soap or croap, but the AS is close.

I landed on Furbo Orange and have Lodrino God Shave the Queen on deck.

I ordered the Furbo orange too, the kg was only like $2 more than the 100g tub.
