The soaps are excellent! In the same league (or better) as Grooming Dept. and B&M Omnibus in my opinion. They perform very well.
The scents I have are Smash and 福 (fú dào). Of the two, 福 (fú dào) is my favorite - in fact may be my favorite of any soap.
Smash is a collaboration with Barrister and Mann on the scent. The smash scent is sort of a dark, pungent peach & tobacco (as opposed to A&E's Peach and Cognac where the peach is bright and sunny and sweet - another favorite soap). I'm interested to hear from anyone else who has this scent and what they think of it.
From their website:
Notes: peach, cane sugar, tobacco, bourbon, hedione
福 (fú dào) is a Chinese New Year sort of thing that is a complex blend of scents - it's a brighter scent than Smash - but underneath the citrus brightness is a smokey smell of gunpowder/fireworks (part of the Chinese New Year theme). I think I could do without the gunpowder but the scent is still one of my favorites (and the gunpowder isn't overpowering - it's just a subtle note- but one I wouldn't miss if it were absent).
From their website:
Notes: green mandarin, petitgrain sur fleurs, ginger, ylang-ylang, lucky money, firecracker, angelica, oud/agarwood, sandalwood

I have the Kryptonite soap. I rarely reach for it these days though.
What don't you like about it? I read the description for Kryptonite online and apparently it has a "synthetic cooling" ingredient that has no impact on the scent -- that wording would scare me away but I can see why they might not want any of the typical, strong scent, chilling oils (like Menthol or mint) messing with the scent of the soap. I don't usually like the "chill" type soaps.
But other than the chill part, the rest of the scent notes all sound good. Is the Lime a nice smelling Lime?
Notes: lime, litsea cubeba, balsam fir, cedar, cypress leaf, howood
I had the Santa Noir. Loved the scent and performance of the soap. The aftershave splash was just awesome!

Love the soap but the guy doesn't even make them himself. The qualities of the soap can be attributed to Oleo soapworks. Okay scents but the dude is mildly virtue signaling/insufferable and a masturbatory redditor so I stay away. Would rather just buy oleo directly instead of paying for mediocre scents that burn the heck out of my face, more than Ariana and evans soaps even do lol
