scent is floral and soapy, I thought it was a bit strange at first but it has grown on me. menthol is high on the ingredients list but i don't get the cooling sensation i expected. it's okay, but i probably wont buy it again.
It's one of my favorites. I will agree with Bill above that the scent seems a bit strange at first, but definitely grows on you. I just got a puck of Joris/Plisson shave soap for the first time last week and the scent of that soap reminded me of Dopobarba di Camaldoli. It's the only other product that I've ever run into that smells similar to this aftershave lotion. I don't get a huge menthol blast either, but I don't particularly care for a lot of menthol, so I don't mind. I believe that there are plenty of aftershaves at half the price that are equally as good..... but this stuff is unique. Personally, I really, really enjoy it.
