Hope you guys don't mind me copying-pasting a post I made in a sub Reddit today. Subsequent posts will be original.
Made in Portugal. Been curious about these for a while, decided to give them a go. All have unique, great smells, never overpowering. All have menthol but you can't smell it, it's just enough to give a fresh sensation.
What do they smell like?
TP = Top Notes / HN = Heart Notes / BN = Base Notes (taken from Claus Porto's website)
My observation
Classic
TN: Patchouli, neroli, bergamot / HN: Lavender, violet, wood / BN: Vetiver, musk
Classic but elevated. Like a modern barbershop scent. Any time of the year.
Oak Moss
TN: Lime, coriander / HN: Spices, hay / BN: Woody notes, oak moss
Woody and sweet. I would reach out for this in the fall.
Black Edition
TN: Bergamot, lemon, juniper berries / NH: Cacao, nutmeg, cardamom /BN: Vetiver, patchouli, cedar, tonka bean
Classy. Reminds me of a light backdrop of Drakkar Noir. Winter months.
Orange Amber
TN: Petitgrain / HN: Lemon, lavender / BN: Orange blossom, musk
Orange-candy/pop like. Perfect for the Summer.
Spiced Citrus
TN: Lime, coriander, lemon, verbena / HN: Hot spices / BN: Woody notes, incense
A light Sangria-like scent. Spring and Summer for sure.
How is the texture?
All the same. Light and airy out of the tube. Thick and slick when lathered (face or bowl). Lathers effortlessly with only a tiny bit necessary.
How do they perform?
All the same. Excellent protection. Does not dry on the face. Washes off nicely. Scent lingers slightly on the skin for a short period of time (less than an hour). Skin feels hydrated long after the shave.
Recommend?
If you like creams and want to experience unique scents, yes.
