In the shaving world YMMV may never be more evident than in perceiving scent.
The world seems divided on the scent of Arko.
I'm not here to acclaim or decry the scent
but to marvel at the differences between people sniffing the same stuff.
I pulled these quotes from different reviews.
The scent strength:
"The scent is very mild"
"Arko falls into the strong scent category"
"wish it had a stronger scent."
"I air it out a couple of months"
The scent fragrance:
"The scent is almost like Ivory soap."
"soap smells like Moroccan Rose Water."
"The smell is lemony"
"Citronella"
The scent quality:
"The smell is pleasant"
"love the smell, very clean & plain soapy"
"similar to williams mug soap, but more potent and longer lasting"
"smell is very 'cheap' and unnatural"
These comments couldn't possibly be describing the same scent.
It's like the old joke of the blind men describing an elephant
after touch different parts of the animal.
No wonder nobody can agree on a bay rum!
Thanks,
Curt
