I like Colonel Conk's lime.
C'mon, how this one doesn't smell at all like a fresh lime. Not saying it's a bad scent, but it is not at all what the OP is looking for.Meissner Tremonia Dark Limes.
For some reason, your post has me thinking about trying to mix up a little Bergamot essential oil and witch hazel.C'mon, how this one doesn't smell at all like a fresh lime. Not saying it's a bad scent, but it is not at all what the OP is looking for.
My vote for best pure lime scent is Mystic Water, and it's not really close, although Mike's is pretty similar. Michelle at MW anchors the lime EO with a little bit of May Chang. The soap is pure lime like a freshly cut lime with a bit of zest. Scent strength is medium, and lasts not only throughout the entire shave but also through the entire puck, all the way to the bottom. Every shave just as refreshing as the first. This one is just a fantastic scent from Michelle. There is no quick loss of scent and no intrusion of other off-putting scents like some of the others (I'm looking at you, Castle Forbes).
Anyway, OP, if you are looking for a realistic, refreshing, beautiful pure lime scent you should check out Mystic Waters. You can thank me later.
You should do it. Bergamot is nice.For some reason, your post has me thinking about trying to mix up a little Bergamot essential oil and witch hazel.
A VERY little bit though!
Very lime, very slickFor me its Turtleship Lime. Essential oils, very true scent and superb protection and post shave performance. One of just a few artisan soaps that improves my skin the more i use it.
By all accounts, the Ethos soap is also a great performer. Isn't that one that also contains a synthetic cooling agent?Got the Ethos Lime from Grooming Essentials on Monday and used it the last two days, really nice lime scent, and for me it is quite authentic...went to our local Mexican restaurant yesterday and their lime smells exactly as the soap.
+1 for my nose. I like captains choice lime slightly more, but Mike's has a very natural smell to me.I love Captain's Choice Lime - great performance and nice clean lime scent.
