Ask Arko for different scents

[Puerco]

I love Arko, it's among the best performing soaps around and can compete with any soap discussed here (Tabac, MWF, English and Italian soaps), I love the wrapper (that lathered up guy that looks like he's come straight from the 50's) and I love the price.
To some people however the scent is unbearable (I think it just smells of old fashioned soap), I kinda like it though but would like to have some other options. The producer of Arko has this webform where you can fill in a complaint or a request, I just did that and asked for mint/menthol (green wrapper), their aqua scent (blue wrapper) and lavender.
I'm not sure how willing they are to do this kind of thing but I think it would help if more people requested some other scents so they know we mean business and how that could boost their sales.
So if you like Arko and you can spent a couple of minutes you can find their webform here: http://www.evyap.com.tr/en/iletisim/tuketici.asp?marka=Arko
Let's hope they respond and give this great soap some new scents, they did come up with this new bowl so I have good hope they listen.

Regards,
Puerco

Wow... thanks for that Puerco!
I just filled it in and suggested Aqua (blue wrapper), Lavender (purple wrapper) and Sandalwood with a slight hint of ginger (brown wrapper). Hah I think the last one was just too much for a soap maker like Arko who likes to keep it plain and simple, but I went ahead with it anyways! Who knows, it could happen...:
Anyways it could be great if Arko could consider the suggestions, I have used the Arko Lavender shaving cream and love the scent but my lather comes only from the soap as I use soaps exclusively.

Good to see that Arko has a webform for feedback.

While I don't consider the Arko to have a terrible scent. I wouldn't say it a "go to" scent either. Like you guys, I would like to see a menthol or lavender option as well.

Will go to their webform and post some positive feedback about their product along with some alternative scent recomendations that have been mentioned here.

I'd like to see a lime scent.

 

[Puerco]

Thanks guys, let them know we mean business and having more and better scents will make them a lot of money as we all love the performance of their soap and it's only the scent that keeps a lot of people from using it.

 

[Puerco]

Come on people, everybody that tried Arko and liked the performance but could not get over the smell and everybody that liked it but would like to see other scents and everybody that hasn't tried it because of the stories around here, fill in the form, it takes only a minute and who knows in a while we have Arko soap in different scents and everybody can use this great but inexpensive soap.

 

[chilliman64]

great idea and feedback has been sent (or rather scent)

I have requested they keep the original shave stick but add to the range a menthol stick and also a vanilla stick... I'd love a vanilla shave soap!

thank you Puerco!

 

[Redzone]

Done great idea !!!

 

[bosseb]

Been there, done that. This could be the beginning of something spectacular!

 

[seanusa]

Be careful what you wish for.

It wasn't so long ago that a few of us contacted Maurer & Wirz asking for them to produce Sir Irisch Moos in a puck as well as the stick. We all know how that ended....

 

[Fatboy]

Arko with a Sandalwood scent would immediately become the best soap on the market IMO...

 

[InHotWater]

Done deal. I suggested a lavender, and a menthol.

 

[luvmysuper]

I've queried for information on that form before, as have others and no one has ever received a response back that I am aware of.
Just a heads up that I wouldn't expect a rapid response from them.

 

[Puerco]

Thank you all for participating, if we get a response or not shall be seen. If they don't respond it's their loss as those scents we're asking could make a lot of profit for them worldwide as we all agree Arko is one of the best soaps around if it weren't for the strong smell that not everybody likes.
Having them come out with the new bowl of soap is at least a good sign and it gives me hope that we at least stand a chance they listen to their customers at least if they think it will make them money.
So I hope even more people join our cause and ask Arko for some different scents that everybody can enjoy!

Great, I can now suggest they make Arko smell like a very ripe Limburger cheese. I think many in the Cult of Arko might deem a ripe Limburger cheese scent nice.

We're not asking them to mess with it, just ADD some other scents to it as not everybody can stand that citronella smell. Wouldn't it be nice to have our beloved Arko with a cooling menthol scent???
