Favorite Shaving Cream Scent

[DirtDiver]

Performance aside, of all the different scents out there to choose from, which is your favorite and why?

I realize this is a loaded question, and scent is very subjective and YMMV to the enth degree... but go ahead, shoot.

You can even list your top three.

For me:

1. AoS Sandalwood. It was my first cream and I just cant get enough of it.
2. TOBS Grapefruit. Very Clean citrus. Smells just like the peel.
3. GFT Coconut oil. REminds me of the islands but is a light and subtle scent. I like it in the summer.

So far, I am a fan of the Proraso Green and White. Green because of the minty scent and the white because of the fresh, oat smell. I am excited to try out more since this is all still very new to me.

Not only I LOVE their scents, but also their superior performance.

Proraso Green, Castle Forbes Lime and Lavender, and AoS Sandalwood are my favourites, too.

1) Mike's Natural Soaps - Bay Rum (only because Burt's Bees Bay Rum Shave Soap is discontinued)
2) Poraso - Green (a classic)
3) Nancy Boy - Blossomwood (go ahead and laugh... I dare ya!)
4) George F. Trumpers - Cocoanut Oil (couldn't stick with just three)

At least it comes in a strong looking masculine container

From what I read, it seems like a good cream though

"Tested on boyfriends, not animals" LOL!!! (that's what it says on the label) I get a kick out of showing my buddies the label!!!
It's technically a brushless cream but, it works even better with a brush.

 

[Prof. Moriarty]

Anything with a citrus scent I like

changes with my mood, weather/season, time of day/night i shave.

Castle Forbes Lime, especially on a cold dreary day. It's like instant sunshine.
