I really like the way cella lathers. For me, It's super slick and holds lots of water. But... I'm just not a fan of the scent. Any recommendations for a similar performing soap?
Thanks, Bill

Love Cella except for scent, alternatives?

RazoRock Artisan series. Any scent that tickles your fancy. ~ Same formulation as Cella with different scents.

I had my first Cella chunk delivered on Monday. Was not digging the scent. I was looking for more of an almond scent. Did not know it was the same formulation as RR Artisan. RR MdB is one of my faves. I was delivered my first stick of Arko today. That scent was not as bad as I was expecting from the things I read on the this board.
The proper answer. Bravo, Matt!
I'm with you, don't like the scent of any of the classic almond/marzipan soaps. That being said I really didn't care much for RR products either. They're good, I just tend to like soft creams or hard soaps much more
+1 to Razorock!
of the morning! Mmmm Arko triscuits....
Blasphemy! Next you'll be telling us you don't like the taste of Arko either....
For what it's worth, over time the scent of cella mellows out.
I'm not a fan of the scent of Cella also, but the other day pulled out a year old red tub of it and using Marco's method (thank you, my friend), soon had a rich, slick lather going with a humble Semogue 1250 in a bowl. The aroma in the bowl was primarily and overwhelmingly that of soap.

This is very true. I don't know how long it takes to lose its scent, but the Cella I have is basically scentless. Leaving it open for some time, even taking it out of the bowl has to hasten this process.
That said, why bother? The RR Artisan and the La Famiglia lines are phenemonal performers. If you can't find one scent out of their lineup you like, stick with unscented products!
Same here on all accounts. It smells like hotel soap - kinda like a chemical recreation of a lemon that is not quite right. I was expecting it to smell like death based on the non-Arkovians' viewpoint. It does work very very well. Now i just need to figure out a way to infuse sandalwood oil into it 
Fiori & Frutti!
Hard to get, though.
Maybe some TFS?

Ugh, for me, Arko is the nastiest smelling soap. I tried it twice, and then I pitched the stick in the trash.

Thnaks for the great advice....now to ruminate over a razorock scent?
My personal favorite is the Chianti Lavender.
Take a whiff of C&E Nomad shaving soap and then tell me how you feel about Arko, lol.
