Arko! A serious question?

[Dave himself]

I absolutely love the smell of Arko! soap.

So my question is why has Arko! never brought out a matching aftershave.

 

[FarmerTan]

An excellent question my friend....

I think there are well funded organizations lobbying global governments to prevent this. At least that is where my political contributions go.

There's no ! in the Arko soap's name.

The smell of Arko is not my favorite but I let it "breathe" for a couple of days and then the smell is very soft. I really like the rest of the Arko's properties.

Yes they did, there are a couple of different scents, hopefully none of them smell like the soap, it's bad enough to have a soap that smells like a urinal puck without having an aftershave to leave you smelling "restroom fresh".

It's an inside joke from before you joined.

Back on topic, you guys do know that they do make aftershaves to match their creams right? I like the scent of Comfort.

You really need a complementary aftershave for Arko!. Like the Veg.

Arko is (artificial) citronella/lemon and Limon Kolonya is a staple in every Turkish household so no need for a specific original Arko AS but as @Mike M pointed out there are other scents available.

Stirling’s Electric Sheep aftershave should do the trick.

 

[Dave himself]

Sorry I meant an aftershave that smells exactly like the soap.

I have something similar but It fades to quickly.

It's the lemon fresh smell that I crave. But I would love it to have staying power.

They are not meant to stay as a Cologne. High proof 80% but not long lasting especially true for citric scents.

Oh but there is. The haters have tried to remove it with the idea if you tell a lie often enough people will believe it. I stand with the ! in Arko!

There are plenty of lemon citrus scents which smell similar to my nose; my favourite is Rose & Co Manchester. Stick it in a fancy bottle, make some arty black and white TV adverts, call it Colonia by Acqua Di Parma, and you can charge a hundred quid for 50ml to discerning mugs clients. Or maybe that should be Colonia! Mind you, my favourite is Brut! so what do I know?

Thanks for the suggestion, I've already tried this. While I quite like the scent, it just isn't the same as the soap.

Woaaaah, I didn't know they had splashes and or balms.
What a joyful day indeed. <3 Arko!
