Does anyone have experience with both Ousia and Ousia II? I have Ousia and it's pretty wonderful - I've just been really curious what is different about Ousia II.
I got a tub of the Kairos SE Luxor and not a fan of the scent.
However, Pasteur Edel scent is pretty nice.
I’m not sure how to describe it. It’s like it has too much going on. I’m leaving my tub open for a while to see if it mellows a bitScents are so weird. It's interesting how they are different to all of us. I like Edel but I adore Luxor, just shaved with it yesterday.
Was Luxor too sweet/cloy for you? Someone used "almost cloy" to describe Luxor here and I thought that was perfect. But not too much for me![]()
Perfect example of how everyone reacts to different scents. Luxor is one of my favorite scents and Edel, not much scent going on there. It's faint, but what I do pickup I like.I got a tub of the Kairos SE Luxor and not a fan of the scent.

Agreed! I like both soap scents, but Luxor is stronger off the tub. Edel is fainter, but the AS is quite nice.Perfect example of how everyone reacts to different scents. Luxor is one of my favorite scents and Edel, not much scent going on there. It's faint, but what I do pickup I like.
I think SOAP is a very nice low strength scent. A bit more than Edel, which for me is a 2/10 so SOAP would be 3.5/10. Camomile and Lemon is also another medium strength soap, 4/10.I lean more towards restrained scents and prefer Edel to Luxor, though Luxor is one I also like.
Any other suggestions for GD scents similar in style to Edel?

Vanilla/Almond is one of my favorite scentsI think I have maybe 12 tubs including several mallard varieties. All are cool. I just got my 19 year old into wet shaving and he loves the mallard almond.
Luxor (and Mumtaz) off the puck for me definitely fit that description.Scents are so weird. It's interesting how they are different to all of us. I like Edel but I adore Luxor, just shaved with it yesterday.

My current SOTMThe 2023 Lavender SE is my current 3017 soap. Love the scent. Have Diamond Dust in the wings.. On the puck its not much scent. Might be an older puck. Will see!
It is a great soap, scent and performance is top notchLavender is my all time fav.
Thanks for the info regarding Ray, I wasn't aware of that until both you and Mo advised the same. I did reach out to Mo, who does read this forum, as he messaged me on IG regarding the original post - but no time frame given.Sadly, Ray has ceased posting on this board. You'll notice Mo likes to share his future releases on social media and doesn't give much more info- you could message him about it to get a time frame- he's very responsive.
Scent Notes- Bergamot, Black currant, White Flowers, Orris, Heliotrope, Ambrette. Cedarwood, Patchouli, Sandalwood.Could anyone tell me what Edel smells like? I can't find a description.
