I've had the same initial reaction to some of these soaps. You have to actually use them and they'll change.... a Yankee Candle.

You’re welcome, my friend.I love using my Kairos SE base soap, Ketoret. Thank you, @Hannah's Dad for your great posts about it! Its scent is unique and special. At first I thought it was tobacco, now I realize it's an intoxicating mix of green plant resins, spices, and incense but without being sweet or cloying. I'd say it's a medium-strength scent, and lingers on my face in a subtle way for at least an hour. As several others have said, my face has never felt better after shaving than with this Kairos SE base. Ketoret is my first but definitely not my last of Mo's products!
Edited to add: There is at least one available on the site Murphy & McNeil.

Lucky man. A few years back I purchased Amber and Oud as I like both scents quite a bit. It wouldn't gag a maggot, but it didn't smell good.I've never had a bad scent from GD- all the GD scents i've ever purchased were either excellent or the best thing i've ever smelled; obviously some i love more than others but they are all can't miss type scents, in my experience, anyway.
L’Avventura is lavender-forward and more linear, IMHO. Very ‘safe’ scent profile.Been thinking about trying either Luxor or l'Avventura as my first grooming dept soap but can't seem to find a lot descriptions of the scents. Which of these would smell more linear/'natural'?
Of the two, it's pretty much a toss-up, but like H.D. said L'Avventura is an easy like. I don't know why you don't just get both.Been thinking about trying either Luxor or l'Avventura as my first grooming dept soap but can't seem to find a lot descriptions of the scents. Which of these would smell more linear/'natural'?

There is a bit of something that doesn’t agree with me, smelling EL off the tub - not at all.Maybe that was for leaving it open overnight after use if you're loading from the tub? I've seen that one recommended with GD soaps pretty often to make sure they dry completely... leaving it open upon first arrival might be for if there's an initial "funk" that comes with the soap, which I think probably wouldn't be needed for his newest bases (a couple older releases maybe).
I would love to hear your thoughts on scent. I love those two combinations. I am currently looking for w citrus and resin/ pine scent by gd. LolNow I feel foolish for worrying - Chamomile Lemon is a fantastic woody lemonish scent that's somewhat mild compared to Luxor off the puck. I can't wait to shave with it!

Thank you! I will read your review as well!It's great! I write a lot more about it here but if there's a bumblebee heaven, this is what it smells like

The woody notes dissipate quickly I'll mention. Lathered up the scent is dominated by what I think of as soothing golden lemon vibe with enough woodyness to be suggestive the outdoors on an amazing summer day.
