It is a fantastic scent and the soap is top notch in my opinion; equal to Tabac as far as I'm concerned and I love Tabac. Performance wise I would say that C&S 88 maybe outperforms, but the scent + performance combo is spot on for SCS - Fariway.
for me its stirling naked and smooth, it might have to do with the fact there is no added scent or oils, man is it slick, and i get to choose any of my aftershave and blams with this soap,, it has no scent!!
