What's the scent on the Musgo Real? Btw love the Avatar.. I have a Big wolf tat

 

[sparco]

Too me it smells much the same as a soap we use to wash wooden floors. (Grønnsåpe /in english Green soap or Pine Sol)

Here you can read some reviews of the cream.

Musgo Real just recently launched 5 new scents. You can check them out here.

Good to hear, that there are other than me that shares the fascination for the wolves!

TOBS lemon lime was my 1st quality cream. I loved it and remember it giving me great shaves and had great scent (but I'm a big lime fan)

enjoy, the E-Shave sounds nice too.

Welcome, Jimmy. eShave creams are great and the Orange/Sandalwood sounds like a nice combination. Keep us apprised of your progress

Welcome Jimmy! You picked some GREAT shaving creams. The orange sandalwood was my first as well (gift from my wife) and it still remains one of my favorite scents. It smells excellent and the lather is nice and slick. Enjoy it. I've also got the lemon lime TOBS but haven't gotten a chance to use it yet. It smells very nice as well. Good luck on the journey, you've only just started.

Well got home this morning and opened my box of goodies.. Took a nice Hot shower and pulled out my first ever shaving cream.. I tried Taylor of old bond Lemon and Lime.. It whipped up very nicely on my brush, and protected very good. I would have given this Cream Higher marks if it had a Strong Lemon and Lime scent.
My fault though, I remember reading on these forums that CF had a stronger scent.. No worries I am happy with my purchase as I have lemon and lime essential oils.

I figure I could add one drop of each into my bowl for a stronger smelling shave.. I haven't tried the E-shave orange and sandalwood but did open it up to smell it and again the scent was a bit scant for my tastes but overall was stronger then Old Bonds..

My 3 aftershaves I love.. Clubman bay rum, in which I have never smelt before was strong spicy, not sure if that is a good thing but I liked it.. Then I splashed on Clubman classic. Smelt like what the barber splashed on me after a Flattop. So love that scent also.. Nice and strong smelling.. I have a wife so no need to pick up the girls. So as long as it smells good to me I don't care lmao.... The Clubman lime I bought another bottle of. I love Lime and added about 5 drops of lime EO to that bottle.. This bottle I will add 10... My poor wife

I bought all my stuff at Fendrihan took 2 days to arrive.. They also sent me lots of trial creams and such.. One thing they sent me that I have no idea what it is is a small pump tube of Primalan.. Smells good whatever it is.. Well off too bed, not sure if the dog will sleep with me today because I smell like a walking spice bag.

Have a great day Folks

Sounds like you are off to a grand start.

If the orange sandalwood isn't strong enough of a smell for you I'm not sure what SC will have a strong enough smell. The TOBS isn't as strong as the CF but even the CF doesn't take over the entire bathroom with lime. It has a very clean distinguishable smell but it isn't overpowering. Then again, everyone has a different sniffer.

I added a drop of Lime EO into the lather... Did the trick.. I also read on here that QED shaving soaps had a very strong scent.. I figure within the next 2 years I will know what products I love the best and what works the best for me... Fun just going through the Journey
