Feminine Smelling Cream??

[rhino616]

I’m converting my GF over to the wonderful world of wetshaving and I’m looking for a feminine smelling cream for her. I have no experience with any of the rose or lavender scented creams, or perhaps there is a perfume type scented cream out there??

Any ideas??


Thanks in advance!


Disclaimer: She wont be using this cream for shaving her face, she doesnt happen to be the bearded lady.

Well, the rose and lavender would be great choices I suspect. A tub of TOBS rose or lavender ... or T&H ...

Consider if she'd like almond or lime scented creams, too.

Vulfix sandalwood smells sort of like gingerbread, which may entice her.

Check if she is a fan of coconut, if so trumpers coconut oil shave cream. The scent is natural and sweet, I like the way it lingers for a while on the skin. Perfect for summer too!!

Thanks for the reply, I have been considering TOBS Rose.

Im a big fan of TOBS creams but havent had a chance to try Rose yet, looks like ill be picking that up and see how she likes it.

Thats another great suggestion, i didnt even think of that. I do know that she really likes that type of smell.

Hmmm looks like i might have to add that to the list.

Trumpers ROSE line and Almond out of all the girls ive had smell it liked it. 3 of the 5 had me order them some of the almond and two chose rose. all of them bought the coral skin food asb of theres as well.

Thanks for the input!!

Looks like ill be narrowing it down to Rose, Almond or Coconut.

Well maybe your in the market for something more expensive but van der hagen soap all smells really generic - just has a glycerin smell.
And even better you can add your own perfums/oils etc to the lather without hurting it, and it will smell like whatever you want.

It's available locally most places and only costs $2.00.

I know you said cream but just mentioning it is an option if she might want to try soap.

Hmm, i never thought of that... DUH! haha.

I have a couple new pucks of VDH, how do i go about adding a scent to it?? Just a few drops when i melt it into a mug??

I mix my lather in a bowl - so when I am stirring it up I will just add a drop or spray of the sent I want and and stir it in and it will smell great .
Not sure on the melting in a mug method - it might work - try it and let us know.

I added a few drops of Old Spice cologne to VDH Deluxe. I just put some hot water on the puck and added the juice.

It's kept the scent for several shaves, but I wager I'll have to recharge it every so often. Melting it in with the soap would cure that.

Looks like ill be conducting some experiments.

Ill be sure to report back what i find out.

Did you have any issue with irratation due to the cologne being added?? Im sure it didnt make a difference, but i was always kinda curious about it.

I haven't noticed any difference between the times I add it and the times I just use it plain.

Good deal. Looks like ill be trying this sometime this week.

Awesome I'm curious to know how the melting in goes . I might try that sometime myself just to see the difference.

Im probably going to cut the pucks of VDH in half so i can do smaller batches with different scents. We'll see how it goes.

I can PIF you a trumpers coconut sample, pm me if interested.

Don't forget TOBS Avocado. I wouldn't characterize the scent as masculine or feminine . . . . but it does yield great results.

AOS rose is actually marketed for women. A very good cream IMO. GFT violet is good. CF lavender if you feel like splurging or even Penhaligons Endymion.

I think Tabac soap smells very feminine.

Maca Root shaving cream from the Body Shop has a smell that I would consider "feminine." She might like it a lot.

In addition, it's a nice, moisturizing cream.
