I'm not going to bite on the Violet. The sample I had from Trumper was truly gross. Of course, I am sure it will smell delightful on you....
If I am lucky, perhaps battery acid or urinal cake?Scotto said:I'm not going to bite on the Violet. The sample I had from Trumper was truly gross. Of course, I am sure it will smell delightful on you....
Know any nice handbags west of the Mississippi and north of the Indian Meridian?Scotto said:Actually, I like the description "smells like a whore's handbag", which has been applied to that monstrosity Taylor no.74 original as well.

You'll have to smell them both and make that decision for yourself.PottyDoctor said:However, would "harlot's handbag" be more politically correct?
HeadandFaceShaver said:Lavender is my favorite cream/ soap... In all fairness I haven't tried the CF.. .but have compared Dr. Harris to Taylor... now, I prefer the pure essential oil smell and I also like a thicker consistency in a cream so the winner hands down goes to Harris (I really wanted to like the much cheaper cream better)... now, I have a fresh container of QED lavender soap just waiting for my new savile row brush! That should be a treat.

Ah, well, my tub is very dense as well. More interestingly, I had SWMBO do the blind sniff test between my old and new tubs. They are indeed very different. Her comment on the old tub with the more minty thang goin' on - "Smells like blue cheese". Dang it if she isn't right! It has the sharp aroma that does indeed smell cheesy (in a good way).
Yup! Your nose interfering with the stapled bacon, or is it the eyes crossing the eggs up?ouch said:I've noticed that scents seem to fall into one of two broad categories for me. In the first case, the scent seems much stronger on my face than in the tub. An example would be Salter's outrageous veitver cream. Fairly strong in the tub, but overwhelming on my mug. When I use it, I feel as if I have strips of bacon stapled to my face. The opposite case seems of occur far more frequently, particularly with lavenders. The AOS, for example, has a very intense fragrance in the tub, but seems extremely mild while on my face.
Anyone else notice any such anomalies?
PottyDoctor said:UPS just dropped off my AOS Lavender Shave Cream. I did not own the 'old' AOS Lavender, so I can't make a comparison there. The density appears to be somewhere between Dr Harris Lavender and Castle Forbes Lavender. I tried smelling AOS, DRH and CF. The CF seems to have the strongest scent, but definitely different than AOS. The DRH and AOS both have a sweet smell to me. I'm by no means a fragrance expert. I'll see how it goes with it in a day or two.
