Best scent boost I had with Arko was when I blasted loads of Armani Code EDT and closed the tub for next evenings shave. Ooof. Sexy, fresh, italian lather.
It works great for me and the smell doesn't bother me one bit. Who cares since I'm gonna splash on some kind of aftershave anyway! I don't have any right now though and I probably won't be buying any soon as I have a ton of other soaps to use up first. Maybe.
